>> This Wikipedia article reached PR5 in only 2 month.

I take it your opinion is that your page got PR from the Wikipedia article. I'd be interested in hearing from anybody else who feels they got PR from the English wikipedia. I'd dearly love for my theory to be debunked.

The point about the first 100 links wasn't one I considered but I went back and checked and at least two of my long standing "Reference" links are within the first 100 hrefs.

mattg3, I believe that the backlinks you're not seeing is solely because of the "broken" Google. Yahoo's backlinks work and, as they too subscribe to "no follow", Yahoo's backlink check should tell you if someone is using the link condom.
