Hi Mozzers & Moz Team,
Let's know how actually this happens to come in Google SERPs with wikipedia link as of its brand name?
It is great to show, but i really want how this comes with brand associated link of wikipedia.Some sources also come wtih DMOZ if ones don't find in wikipedia.
Please find the snapshot, where i borderd in red color , may show you clear in it.
Waiting the responses.

Thanks Spencer & Kevin for valuable input,
But why it doesn't show this same with the website has its own wikipedia page link.

I think it's automatic. I know Google uses wikipedia as a data source and just probably connects the dots. Some additional information. Is that what you were asking?

It looks an extension of the knowledge graph, which is why if you google any of those company's names you'll see a box on the side with more information about them. Essentially google is taking information from sources that it believe to be reliable and bringing it into the SERP because it believes it to be relevant. This is why you'll mostly see this on larger companies and will usually be from wikipedia or DMOZ because google knows those sources are reliable.

Houston Company Needs Help (Will Our SEO Work Be Destroyed While Site is Down?, Can Anything be Done?)
I'm a Moz member, mostly just lurk, and love the Moz community. I work at a non profit company that does benchmarking data and helps school districts improve process in education. Our building flooded and our site is currently offline, is there anything we can do to stop/lesson any SEO page rank drop between now and when we are back up? We have worked very hard to get these rankings. I know it is minor compared to all tragedy in Houston, but we have worked hard to get these SEO gains (YEAH MOZ!) and I'd hate to lose them because of Harvey. Any suggestions, assistance appreciated! Ralph

Best way to prevent "Duplicate Content" for different links
We are working on job portal domain. As we know jobs going to be expired day by day. I will give you my question by example. Example: I have two links [mysite.com/Jobs-In-Cincinnati and mysite.com/Jobs-In-Atlanta]. Before month I had too many jobs on both the links. Jobs were expired one by one after two/three months I don't have any jobs on both the links.So I got same page content on both the links like "please refine search". Google consider these two pages as duplicate content issue. Will you please suggest which is the best way to come out from it? Thanks in advance.

Searching google without bias
i read a tip once and can't find the reference to that tip. It had to do with searching google without including the history of your searches to bias the result. The user was suppose to put a code at the end of the URL, like &pw or something like that. Anyone hear of this?
