Great question, I've actually wondered about that too. Would the answers change if we were talking about doing a biography for an individual of a business on Wikipedia? Still not a good idea?
Thanks,

Depending on what your site's purpose is, I have to respectfully disagree with the above comments. If you're site is selling something, you need an SSL certificate, and (I'm reasonably) certain, you can't have that without a dedicated IP address. All things equal, e-commerce sites with an SSL certificate will rank higher than sites without one. Plus, there are other non-seo benefits to a dedicated ip address, and it's inexpensive. To me it's a no-brainer, but I understand why people would disagree.
