"Don't ask don't tell"

turns up a wikipedia entry as the top entry on the list

Exactly the problem. - Tony

So, you are saying that wikipedia is a paid link?

Jon

I'm saying (a) that it might as well be paid and (b) it's
worthless for finding out actual information.


Yes, I agree with you on (b), but I don't exactly know what you mean
by (a). It seems to me that you are upset that they seemingly offer
primary results to those who pay. I don't know if that includes wiki
or not. It wouldn't surprise me because it seems in just the past
year that wiki results have shot up to the top of the page.

Or that simply could be a sign of wiki's growing popularity.

Jon


Or the millions of entries in Wikipedia combined with the millions of
citings using Wikipedia that combine with the spider searches to link them
all together. Wouldn't shock me a lot if in two or three years something
else is bigger then Wikipedia.
