Example for knock-offs scoring higher than wikipedia: Search for 'Napoleonic

where both
sciencedaily.com (IIRC a rather new mirror) and
nationmaster.com
rank higher than wikipedia. This could not be explained with the google
pagerank algorithm, because wikipedia surely gets a lot more quality and
quantity links than others do - But it would make sense if the wikipedia
ranking essentially gets divided by two.
seems to get referenced a lot by the scientific and
education
communities - I got the impression that the couple running it have a lot of
friends and contacts in those communities, but that might just be a
side-effect of
being journalists.
New WP slogan idea: "why look at a mirror when you can bask in the sun
of the real Wikipedia?"
(Yeah yeah, sunburned by vandalism then incinerated in the nuclear
furnace of
an edit war... :-) )
