Wikipedia has never used their near monopoly to juice neighboring businesses.

Google has, for example:

* Used search to promote their yelp alternative (this is a big part of the EU antitrust case);

* used search to promote chrome;

* used search to attempt to compete with fb (having google+ bumped location in search results / gave you better display in search results)
