Should Google switch to Wikipedia as its ranking function for the whole web?

Google could use Wikipedia as a way to process queries to determine the sorts of non-Wikipedia web pages that should rank highly.

For example, when searching for "8 queens variants", Google might use the information here to determine which non-Wikipedia web pages to rank highly:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_queens_puzzle#Related_problems

Do you think this would be a good idea?
