Wikipedia Vs. Google
Here's the dirt on how these objects relate to one another:
Wikipedia provides such a wealth of valuable content, much of which has absolutely no rival online, that Wikipedia pages routinely dominate Google search results. The websites are a pretty close example of a perfect symbiotic relationship, with Google steering traffic toward the encyclopedia giant and acting as a sophisticated search index on it, while the encyclopedia in turn gives Google great content to feed its searchers.
Functionally the two sites are quite different, as Google focuses on searching and indexing other parties' content rather than providing its own.
