Read this a while ago in the paper, some interesting food for thought on Wikipedia - http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/aug/12/wikipedia-deletionist-inclusionist

Hmm -- why do you link to google.COM (instead of wikipedia.ORG)?

If wikipedia makes revisions to the document, are such revisions automatically reflected in google's copy? If so, do we need to go to wikipedia at all -- or is google always the same as wikipedia?

Which would you say is a more reliable source of information?

Unfortunately, I can't view Google Docs from work, as it's blocked for being a "Personal Network Storage" site.

I wonder if Google stop referencing it on the first few results, how long would it take to drop down the rankings?

Not a big surprise, given the prominence of Wikipedia over the past few years. It's interesting, though, to see that US visitor stats have leveled out over the past year or two. Has Wikipedia reached saturation point for its US audience, then?
