A pretty vague threat.
Is Wikipedia going to submit spam reports to Google et al by the osual (public) channels?
Or is there something more?

The Wikipedia link spam blacklist is public, for you, me, and any search engine reps to study at their leisure.

The next kid to leave their bike laying in the driveway is going to be grounded for a month.
Three days later
Dad, I swear I didn't leave my bike in the driveway. Johnny did so I would get in trouble.

I love it! Off to set up a mechanical turk campaign to get my competition on that list! Not really.
My point is that the W seems to be getting a bit full of themselves. Kind of reminds me of the drunk guy that played high school football with the current sheriff: "don't you know who I am? I'll have your job!"

Wikipedia has to protect itself from link spammers just like any other usre contributed site. I doubt that any relevant search engine would penalize a site only because its domain matches a pattern on that list.
Btw. limoshawn, you didn't say where that original citation comes from. It is part of a warning template customarily given to wikipedia editor accounts found to be spamming. Have you been caught? ;)

@bird I found the comment on a talk page of a page relevant to a niche I'm working on while researching a domain I am in the process of purchasing. The domain had been cited as a reference and then removed by an editor with the warning. Personally I'd rather outrank wpedia than be linked to from them!
