Someone's Been Playing with Wikipedia's Google Coop Feed
October 4, 2007
I won't even bother trying to figure out what "Hannah is a silly billy" means (other than the obvious), but it's worth noting that Wikipedia's Google Co-op feed has been compromised. Or, at a minimum, poorly maintained, as the following shot shows:
For no particular reason, I subscribe to Wikipedia's Google Co-op feed, which means that if Wikipedia has built a custom query result around a particular query -- and I search for that exact query -- then Wikipedia's result will show up first on my SERP -- above all organic results (but not above paid listings).
For the record, here's how it's supposed to work. Following is a "real" Wikipedia Co-op entry, this time for [hank aaron].
The text on the Co-op entry isn't pulled from the actual Wikipedia entry for Hank Aaron. Typically, they're custom written and uploaded through Google Co-op and delivered only to Google account holders who have subscribed to a specific organization's feed.

I'm not a baseball fan, but this whole episode stinks to the high heavens. WHY in God's name is congress (A group of liars if there ever was one) WASTING their valuable time on a baseball player who allegedly lied about taking drugs that may even kill him someday. The country is in the grip of a horrible mess caused by the inattention of politicians for the last 30 years. That boil is getting ready to burst,and here we have Congress trying to "look busy". It's really disgusting. It's impossible for Congress to hold anyone in contempt, because that is the feeling that the entire country has -against THEM!.....:-)

It seems like Bud Selig's stupitidity will continue to haunt baseball. The trial is set for April 5. Another baseball season starts with PEDs as a major topic of conversation. Great idea the Mitchelll report. It was supposed to put the Seroid issue behind us but it seems to have put it front and center, year after year......:-)
