Dave, query for IP:  has there been anything said publicly about Google
intentionally directing queries to Wikipedia?  This is purely subjective
and anecdotal, but for about the last two months, I have found myself  
very
frequently facing a google screen on which one of the first half dozen
hits was a Wikipedia article on my term of interest, and I have in fact
been using those articles, with more success than I expected.  This
doesn't feel like an accident . . .
