    my simple answer is wikipedia has post for every keyword i mean for example if search for toy wikipedia will give you information about toy and it is old website though this might also another reason it uses little keywords in their article links this would also another reason.

    I would like to say that, wikipedia is not a commercial, its non-profit organization and provides great information for the user. And Google shows its wikipedia based on the search query, whether the query deserves wiki, news, shopping, informative sites. For example - you cannot see wiki page for "apple iphone" query, you can see wiki page for "Iphone". These two queries are different, google decides by algo and shows result accordingly.

    Wikipedia is a trusted and authoritative site with a relevant content and a huge number of quality backlinks. I think the right question is how did Wiki gained such authority but not why it still ranks high in Google.

    Good internal link structure and link authority. So many webmasters link to wikipedia as a reference.

    Wikipedia has tremendous content and myriad of keywords. And it provides value. For free!!! Why shouldn't it rank?

    I think Wikipedia is phenomenal.

    Wikipedia is a non-profitable FREE encyclopedia. Which provides genuine content only with references from top level domains.

    Firstly, wikipedia has a lot of content which is updated and improved on the daily basis.
    also, there were a lot of services and still are where people add wikipedia links to the articles you pay for to make sure article links out to other websites so wikipedia have so many incoming links for each keyword that it makes it difficult to displace... blame all those SEO pro's who were building links for free to wikipedia.
