    wiki's internal linking is brutal.

    If any website links to any page on wiki, the value of that inbound PR filters to other pages. As such a single page may not be linked that well, but other pages internally linking to it are linked extremely well by external links.

    well. truly said, in 95% when I visited wikipedia from google search result - it was relevant and nice information.

    And up to the my search requests I see wikipedia in 5% requests or less - not too much as for me :)

    I don't know if Google is being unfair over this or not, I find Wikipedia interesting.

    there is no doubt that wikipedia is interesting ....after all the articles been written by us .....

    ha ha ....

    and i said you earlier when we search for "seo" or "search engin optimization" in google we can notice that wikipedia holds 2 and 3 postition ..

    bt i bet the information provided by other sites like seochat.com, selfseo.com last but nt the least digitalpoint is nothing less than wikipedia ...

    I believe content should be given more weight-age rather back links (which can be attained at some cost) .....bt not the content...
