title: Does using Wikipedia content harm a page/sites SEO rankings?
body: <p>Wikipedia allows you to reproduce its content.</p>

  <p>I am considering using some wikipedia content to pad out pages on my website. For example - just taking the first couple of paragraphs. The motivation for this is not for SEO , but to provide information to the website user.</p>
  
  <p>My question is: by doing this will I hurt my own page SEO? I have googled around and mentions of <em>Google Supplemental index</em> keeps cropping up. </p>
