Why does Google Rank Wikipedia for so many topics?

Wikipedia consider as a Search engine and working as a non commercial domain and only offers information for Internet user.

and you know all non commercial domain find more priority for Google search engine side and next one thing is that Information based domain always rank better in search engine.

Wikipedia is an authority domain that is why its sites rank so high for thousands of keywords.

Wikipedia has earned its reputation as a “authority website” that is it does not spam nor it includes ads or affiliates.
It is looked upon as a credible source of information in Google’s eyes.
Reasons of this maybe,
-thousands of quality back links.
-most of their pages have a high Page-rank.
-Wikipedia uses lots of internal linking.
-highly searched keyword in anchor text
