Ouch - interesting choice of font size.

Wikipedia has been adding nofollow to all external links for some time now as an attempt to reduce the amount of spamming. As a result Wikipedia links are still useful for traffic, but will have no influence on your site's SERPs position.

IMHO they are doing this because they want to keep the quality of their information up and don't want people to use it as an SEO tool but as information source.

Nofollow on Wikipedia
Parketcute,

I'm not sure "nofollow" works identically on all three main engines.

Over doing it
In my experience learning about SEO it seems like once a new SEO benefit is working it is abused and then it somehow becomes no good. If site builders would just use some self control and not over do something that works by using a verity of SEO methods things would be better for all of us. I do design my own website but I am not in the SEO business so I am not a SEO expert.
