Why would you question it? It's part of the success of Wikipedia, whether people would *like* to concede or admit it. The symbiotic relationship between WP, the search engines, and the interlinking of websites. Without the engine of millions of links into Wikipedia, it wouldn't be as highly ranked in all the search engines... for, well, everything.
The "success" of Wikipedia has been crippling, and going top 10 has greatly hampered the actual writing of an encyclopedia as it gets pulled in all directions by publicity-generated stupidity.
Any search at all that you do, if an article exists will return en.wikipedia.org in the top 1-5 results. On all search engines. Is this a bad thing?
Yes. See above.
