Well every SEO is outraged with Wikipedia placing nofollow tags on all outbound links, in fear of the great amount of spam they would receive from the GlobalWarming Awareness2007 SEO Contest.
Most people are looking at the negative side of this. However, me being the optimist I am, am happy because I don’t have any Wikipedia pages sending me traffic.
Nevertheless, I know that my competitors use Wikipedia pages to give them some link love. Well if you want to be a cruel SEO, you can place nofollow tags on their URL’s simply by updating the page. This means that existing links do not have a nofollow tag unless they are updated!

It’s pretty sad that you would even suggest that kind of black-hat tactics. Wikipedia is a great resource and does not just exist for SEO wars.
The value of a link on Wikipedia goes far beyond just another link for SEO purposes. It’s about good marketing techniques and making sure people can find you at relevant contact points.
