um, im sure that Google had no idea about Wikipedia's plans and let their spider autocrawl the domain without manually overwriting its settings.

I would rather find it in Google's best interest to keep Wiki pages high up in results, btw.

Further, Google spider can "apply" CSS and "see" which elements of the page cover other content with divs.
