I think that linking to Wikipedia with nofollow is silly. Wikipedia is a great resource. If you don’t like it, don’t link to it! How many links from Wikipedea are there to your blog anyhow? No doubt they are using it to prevent editing for the sake of link-spamming. This may be one of the few legitimate uses of rel=nofollow out there.

More of a problem is the rel=nofollow added to most blog comment URLs. This includes most readers of this comment. It actually includes my blog because it comes built in to WordPress. I am actually looking at installing a plugin to remove that.

Anyhow, my point is “look who’s calling the kettle black”. Unless of course those who link to Wikipedia don’t have rel=nofollow on URLs in comments. Even then, the idea of linking to Wikipedia rel=nofollow is silly in my opinion.

Interessiert habe ich mir dann heute das neue Plugin fÃ¼r WordPress angeschaut: Wikipedia-NoFollow will add a a rel=”nofollow” to all your outgoing links to Wikipedia Ein Plugin welcher das NoFollow-Attribute fÃ¼r Wikipedia setzt? Wikipedia macht es schliesslich genau so, denn fÃ¼r externen Links setzt Wikipedia auch das NoFollow. Aus diesem Grund wurde dieses Plugin entwickelt. Jetzt kann die Diskussion also weitergehen. Wer installiert das Plugin? [...]

I’m glad to see the Wikipedia No-Follow plugin. I was trying to think of a way to deal with their decision since I link to them so much.

Thanks for the site. One of the best resources around for WP.
