Google.. they index wikipedia very well, and it's a "free" * way to
have good indexing done.

The whole Wikipedia is done "manually". This indexing is just a way to make
this
knowledge more accessible. Google is fine for page-like information, but not
database like. You can't list people born in France in the time of World War 1,
thogh this information is "hidden" in wikipedia.
Some people like to write articles, others (like myself) would do this indexing
stuff better. It's a personality thing...
