What always amuses me is the recurrent belief that Wikipedia

carefully-constructed semantic traps in our articles or something -
the fact that it's not a cunning ploy on our part is completely
inconceivable to someone who approaches everything from this

Perhaps they honestly believe that their keyword-primed advertorial
page is actually more useful than a Wikipedia page and are astounded
that Google might have the temerity to disagree. ;-)
