Maybe Google's annoyed that Yahoo got to host Wikipedia space instead of
them...

Why does Wikipedia seem to be so low recently? It
seems to be barely
featured for lots of common searches, whereas various snapshots and
Wikipedia mirrors are indexed frequently. For example:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=prime+minister+of+the++united+kingdom&…
http://www.google.com.au/search?q=Australia+capital&fsrc=1&oi=mores…
(those are question answers, but thats what many
people may look for).
With Wikipedia being such a popular site, I'd have thought that it
might be higher.
I imagine the Google spider doesn't wait around five minutes
hoping for the page to come up. Many times it just has to cache
the empty page from
wikipedia.org <http://wikipedia.org>, can't be good
for our
page rank vs quick-responding mirrors.
