      Ok,

      I love Wikipedia as much as the next guy but the amount of weight that google puts on this site is getting crazy. My search terms that I am going after are "speakers" and "loudspeakers"

      Can somebody tell me why wikipedia needs the top 8 -10 spots for those terms? is that really a good search result for users of google?

      More of a rant then a question I know. I just needed to get that off my chest!.

        I think you may have your personal settings saved on your browser. I am only seeing one result from Wikipedia and thats for "loudspeakers"... For  "Speaker" I dont even see wikipedia on the first page.

        Try doing the search again from another browser. Or you can open an incognito window (only in chrome) or private browsing (Only in Firefox) and redo the search.

            you can be logged out and still see these results. In order to see real results you will need to clear the browsers data of the browser you are using.

            And yes you can breath again, lol this has happend to me soo many times in the past...
