Hi everyone, Thanks for surfacing this discussion. I want to share some broader context from the WMF side as the person who manages our partnership with Google <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Overview_of_Wikimedia_Foundation_and_Google_Partnership>. Hopefully it will provide clarity on how we do (and do not) work with them.
I've written more info specific to this situation below, but the tl;dr is that our partnership does not aim to make Wikipedia or other Wikimedia content the top search result on Google's products - that decision is wholly made by Google. The aim of our partnership is to work with Google to identify and implement ways they can better support Wikimedia communities, increase content creation, and help connect people with knowledge globally. As mentioned previously in this thread <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T325607>, this particular situation seemingly needs to be resolved on our platform, not on Google's. That said, we (WMF's Partnerships team) have explained the importance of this issue to Google, and their Indexing team is going to do some analysis to provide us with any insights they are allowed to share about what the specific issues may be. We've surfaced this not just with regards to Wikisource, but with past scenarios where Wikimedians have flagged similar issues with some language Wikipedia projects. WMF does not decide what Google indexes or where Wikimedia content ranks in Google Search, nor does Google disclose specific details about how the results are chosen beyond what is publicly available <https://developers.google.com/search?card=developer>. This is to maintain neutrality and not privilege any partners or sites over others. We will continue working with Google to put together as much information as possible to inform the path forward, while also underscoring the importance of Wikisource and its visibility. We also encourage the Sister Projects Taskforce <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force> to continue flagging this and other issues where we can find ways to collaborate in our goal of supporting all of the Wikimedia projects. Feel free to reach out to me or partnersh...@wikimedia.org if you have questions about any of this.
