It's about time Google stopped with the whole PR system anyway since it seems to be deprecated more and more.

This is fun to some extent but still, what's the point? It obviously will not work, as you mention yourself. If you don't mind, I'll spend my scarce time reading your blog :-)

My personal belief is to drop the page rank system altogether. Look what it's doing to the internet. it creates spammers, it creates an absence of other sites with more relevant content to the viewer and it's exploited for the purpose to sell high PR sites (something that PR wasn't created to do!) Is there any alternative?

Wikipedia is a phenomenal idea and event but anymore is for few viewers or participants. Most don't take and or have time to break out all the wikipedia language to get their content matters started and even for me it is user unfriendly. But for the point, simply stated, I forsee a mast heavy ship toppling under their own weight. They are at some point sooner than later going to run amuck also of disinformation and carry the stigma as deceiver, with information next unconnected to real issues and at last floundering on with appearance of a dead or fatally wounded dragon!

Somehow I got this feeling wikipedia doesn't care. They are so powerful now. I mean, how could you persuade other people to join you? I would take ages.

To begin with I thought this was a good move by Wikipedia as it will reduce the number of spammers dramatically. Then I looked at the wider picture and it seems that this was just the easiest and cheapest solution to a problem which should be solved in another way.

Wikipedia should continue to reward the related sites containing useful information or information which was used to make the Wikipedia article in the first place. I believe they should have moderators to weed out the spam links and not punish the innocent.

My 2 cents.

I have noticed, though, that I do get far less results on a Google search pointing to Wikipedia these days than I used to get over a year ago. It seems as if, perhaps, this thing of yours worked or the NOFOLLOW hurt them more than they would care to admit. I guess they had to get rid of spammers, but there might have just been a need for better moderators instead of using NOFOLLOW. It's just not clear, yet, what NOFOLLOW does just yet...

correction for comment above mine, PR of wikipedia.org is 9, not 8 :) just checked out...

btw i like the idea but i think it's impossible to be done :D too many webmasters, too many minds, impossible to get all of them united... plus there are surfers who find wiki useful and they don't care about follow or nofollow tags :)

I am in! All the websites I have ever come across in Wikipedia external links are useful, and spam is always removed pretty quickly.

Why should the useful links not be given any credit on the website that was made global by all the websites wikipedia links to!

The official claim is that links with the rel=nofollow attribute do not influence the search engine rankings of the target page. In addition to Google, Yahoo and MSN also support the rel=nofollow attribute.

i think it helps indexing

It may be great for all the ignorant people, but not great for the authors of unique content. Think about it, most of the time the re-print permission includes credit to the author of the original piece. If someone uses my work to create a book, I expect something in return, not just a line that says..."Uhm, oh yeah, this guy wrote some stuff that I used, but don't go look him up."

I really don't agree with this. Wikipedia is great for all the ignorant people! Let them be enlightened. ;)

I have always had a problem with Wikipedia, I mean people work hard to come up with original content and they never want to give credit where credit is due.. Anyway. Thanks for the post

Wikipedia behave like a robbers. They take content everywhere and do not even want the original source gave some rank.

Visits of my site went down by 40% after nofollow was applied. And I never spammed, never added a link to my site.

Now Wikipedia is at the same level of evil, if not even higher, as those stupid spammers. I am sure there could be much better ways to decide whether the links are relevant or not.

I hate Wikipedia since day I lost and they gain on my sites. And I am sure there must be a large number of similarly affected people, especially those that have websites with a lot of reliable and unique facts as I did.

You should be ashamed and get back to hell where you belong.

Wikipedia is probably the best thing to happen to the internet, besides http, widespread broadband, and all that technical stuff. It bothers me how inadequately cited all of the information is, but still, It just kills me to hear people dash on it.

I am also a person that doesn't support Wiki anymore. I am just a little guy that created a sword and weapon site here, Swords, and I took the time to add history files, research on each piece, etc. A Wiki editor actually allowed linking to some of my inner pages as resource material for content included on there site and I had no issues with that, until this rule was adopted. So someone out in the world can find my work useful, publish it somewhere, and I don't get credit anymore? I think not. I support the no follow to them.

Well, if Wikipedia is stealing content, they deserve a DMCA notice. A citation is a citation whether it’s nofollowed or not.

Awesome! I just found out about this campaign - I hate nofollow and I can't understand why Wikipedia would adopt it.

I actually despise the concept of nofollow so much that I won't be following this campaign (although I'm already less inclined to link to Wikipedia). Nofollow is doing nothing to remove spam and everything to destroy internet community spirit and harm google rankings of new and updated media. The fact that we're starting to see it in places it wasn't originally intended for, like the critically-edited Wikipedia, should ultimately make the tag worthless (I hope) and lead to it being dropped by Google.

good luck with your campaign
All the best,
Ronald
