I am not surprised either. He he. Who love spammers?
William, nothing is free in this world, leave wiki alone, otherwise it becomes to a rubish bin!

Well I don’t blame them. I’d do the same.

Im not sure why they are doing this. If you try and post a link to your website they delete it. So it does’nt make a difference.

Did not they have nofollow for ages now? Anyways, I have solid proof that nofollow will still count. It’s just it wont parse PR and no one cares about PR anyway. I would post a link to my article on nofollow but then I will probably sound like a spammer.

This is unfortunate, but the amount of man power it would take to combat this type of spam is too much. It’s becoming more common on the net.

It’s right decision – to protect Wiki of spammer, but it is bad for content publishers too

It seems to have come very late in the day. I was about time. Those genuinely interested in contributing towards wiki will always be there and since its become a huge resource. Sites will keep linking back and talking about the same.

Seems to be the way of the world. You have a great resource which people use for legit sites. Then a blackhater will come in and ruin it for the rest of us.

I think they must find a better way to prevent spam .
Making nofollow links will hurt publishers.

Yeahh. William – it was not your day. Wiki with it’s resources can filter “black” links with no problems. Maybe it is temporary solution?

I do not agree with this to. That’s very unfair, wikipedia editors delete all link withc aren’t related with article. However this is very unfair for publishers. What on earth will motivate them?

It’s very sad that some bunch of people using black hat technique do such spamming activities. There should be a method devised so as to ban only the spammers and innocent and modest posters like us should be saved from the ill efforts taken by others. But I guess it is a very difficult task to differentiate between the black hat and the white hat guys….

I cant believe it. Yesterday i worked 3 hours to get a link to my blog ( http://www.seo.webarticles.dk ) on Wikipedia! That is so unfair! But now people got no reason to post on that site…? Is that a good thing for Wikipedia?

This is good for prevent spamming, however i have very great articles for Turkish people and i would like to have some quality from wiki, but nofollow tag is not good for original content publishers like me. My website is small, but i only publish articles written by me.
