Just curious why wikipedia "stub" articles rank well. I understand why a wikipedia page that actually has content may rank well, but I don't understand why one that doesn't does. Is it just the internal linking that wiki does?

By a stub article I mean one that has the following line at the base:
"This XYZ article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it."
