Unsolicited inclusion in Wikipedia!

Does it have some value?

[fischermx]

I found one of my sites is an external links sections on Wikipedia.
I discovered that today since I saw it in my logs with arround 15 referrals a day from the last few days.
Since it seems they don't give too much traffic I just wonder how much do they worth in terms of PR.
The referal page is PR 6.

Does it help or not?
Have I nothing to cheer about?

Sure, any link that brings 450 referrals a month is something to cheer about.

I haven't looked around it to see if the links pass PR, but since many folks consider wiki an authority site, if nothing else they should also look to yours as an authority.

It's a good thing that may not last, since anyone can remove the link at any time, for a variety of possible reasons.

They use the rel="no-follow" attribute to links these days which I guess removes any search engine advantage.

One positive is if people are looking for authoritive sites to link to/credit they may find you here rather than scraping the ODP

If there is a benefit to being listed as a link (albeit no follow) - how do you get a site listed?

Thanks.

My info might be out of date, but i heard there was disagreement amongtst the the board ( trustees ) of Wiki . The tech guys had implemented the no follow without the authority do do so and they took away the no follow. Hard to follow what the conclusion was , but i didnt read too intensivley.
