The fact is Wikipedia is one of the most reliable sources of links on the web, even if there is spam in there.

As for SEO contests in general, they just seem boring to me, along with nearly every other lame contest I’ve seen or been in. (Ok, I like watching those hotdog eating contests on TV.)

I would also suggest people start using nofollow on their links TO wikipedia. I’m tired of seeing Wikipedia ranked on the first page of Google, if I wanted to look at Wikipedia I would of searched it first.

What they really should do is add a serious editorial control of outgoing links, but that creates a paradox for them because the whole concept of the Wikipedia is there aren’t editorial controls. So it’s a real quandry for them, with the massive amounts of spam they receive. So, yea, this is the easy way out for them, but I don’t see they have much other choice.
