Its a pity Wikipedia has done this, one of the reasons so many people wrote articles was so that they could get linked.

i think itÂ´s ok, that wikipedia is using “nofollow”. In the past to many spamers use wikipedia for their projects.

actually your campaign apears to have taken off pretty well
google search for “wikipedia pagerank” refered me to this post cause i actually wanted to know what s happened to wikipedias google juice-i did some 50 biology related searches today and in 40 of them i had to add “wiki” to my keywords to get the wikipedia article on first page.
actually it’s a!@@#e to do that sort of thing they were here to bring justice-give google juice to obscure nevertheless very relevant sites and save you minutes of google research.or something

I agree with smoMashup. Nobody will read the source code ti know if “follow” or “nofollow”. And lets think speculatively: in some time Wiki can “follow” again, so, dont stop post links (its only an idea… dont post any spam…).

[...] It’s been widely reported that all external Wikipedia links have been nofollow-ed. And don’t worry — all links on non-article pages are coded by MediaWiki as “nofollow”, so no spammer gets a page ranking boost from those links when they’re on a user page.–A. B.

I would guess that the inherit problem with this is that the majority of people linking in, probably have no clue what â€œnofollowâ€ or linking is really about in the eyes of the search engine so I doubt any significant change could be brought to this by that action.

It will definately be interesting to see how this all sorts out.

[...] Luckily, it looks like this could be a temporary measure, but then again, it might not, and that has raised some strong opinions. Andy Beal says: So, in response, any future links to Wikipedia from us, will include a NOFOLLOW. Maybe if we all take that approach, Wikipedia will lose its PageRank and wonâ€™t have to worry about link-spam any longer. [...]

Then a system for selective nofollow would work best. Where site authors can choose which comments to use nofollow on and which to exempt. Such a plugin may exist, and if not it shouldn’t be hard to create.

Hm... Nofollow from Wikipedia? Well Andy, I'd have to say I agree with you, if Wikipedia is going to give us all the shaft we may as well give it back to them. Maybe then they'll stop ranking for everything from "Chocolate" to "Viagra"
