abbeyvet, If you "love it" when wikipedia shows up in the SERPs and if you "often append the word 'wikipedia'" to your queries, wouldn't it make more sense to just search wikipedia itself rather than use Google and hope a wiki article shows up?

Thanks for the handy search tip. :) I do which ever is handiest. Wouldn't it be nice if eveyone used the internet in predictable ways?

My point was that I think most average searchers will be pleased by the appearance of a wikipedia page in their results, in the vast majority of cases they will have found what they want or at least a good path to it via some quality hand picked links.
