    They're nofollow, so you won't benefit from their pagerank, so have the same value in that sense as any other nofollow backlink. The value is more in the direct traffic from such a popular site - but if it looks like a commercial link in any way, it's likely to get whipped off by an editor quicksharp.

    They are non follow but they can give you a lot of traffic and get other Search Engines to visit your site faster?
    Cuz only Google Bots use the Non Follow for Not indexing

    Wikipedia is great for good direct traffic. I agree that it wont affect your page rank.
