Not having seen the column, I can only guess, but if the WP article
on X invariably appears at the top of a search for "X", then no doubt
some people will get in the habit of starting their searches at
wikipedia.org instead of
google.com. However, in practice this only
works for general information searches, not shopping for products or
digging up dirt on (heh-heh) non-notable people, so Google's business
is hardly imperiled.
