Part of the reason in the example given by GOS is the very specific search term. Of course the more general article in Wikipedia will not come out top. These transient results catch what are hot topics, but already they are fading. Just repeating the search GOS highlighted shows how wikipedia is moving back to top spot If the above is too cryptic see http://www.google.com/technology/pigeonrank.html
