How do people get Google 'categories' in their search results?

If you do a Google search on the word Wikipedia, the Google search results shows the Wikipedia link with individual categories/subsections listed under it such as

Wikipedia
Main Page Justin Bieber
charlie Sheen Lady Gaga
etc.

How does Wikipedia achieve this?

Is this what a Google 'adword' account does? Or is this achieved via some meta tags, etc?

Thanks experts!

Thanks Dave,

Regarding 'categorized content' - is this something beyond regular content that has been set with appropiate alt tags, header tags, etc?

Thanks again.

No, it is sections to your website that come up frequently in searches so that Google feels they are worth categorizing.

Thanks for catching this and I agree completely - I totally didn't see the first response, only the second - again my apologies to both respondants! I will split point accordingly.

rascal,

I have reopened your question and started the process of closing it with a split amongst two or more Experts, as that outcome seems more equitable than your original disposition.
