Begin forwarded message: From: "Dr. James J. O'Donnell" <provost () georgetown edu> Date: September 8, 2005 9:42:44 PM EDT To: dave () farber net Subject: Google/Wikipedia Dave, query for IP: has there been anything said publicly about Google intentionally directing queries to Wikipedia? This is purely subjectiveand 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 . . .
