Here's the discussion on Wikipedia's decision to nofollow links. Here are two plugins specifically designed to return the favor.





GP. I've been editing Wikipedia for 3 years, and I've never had a link removed. I have had to deal with more than a few of their self-described and completely asinine edit warriors, however.

One tip I might add. Register before making any edits. If you edit as an unregistered user your IP will show in the history. It's a big fat red flag.
yeah I totally agree with you
here some quicky tips you need to know about wikipedia to round out the picture so:
  • sign up for an account this will ease things and save some time
  • confirm your email to increase loyabilty
  • read the getting started introduction

before you start dumping links I think gaining some reputation is prerequiste

look for untapped to topics, just whatever you find
write about them or hire someone to do it, don't put links

how to find pages waiting for writers:

type 'WikiProjects' into the 'Search' field and click 'Go'.

choose your topic and click edit



Now after you make a couple of contributions you can start posting your links
without worrying

what to do to get your links approved:

your links should be accurate, on-topic and directly related to the article's subject so you have to take time

looking for what matches your site

normally external links are meant to give more info on the same topic I say the very same subject, however

certain types of websites are rejected no matter how relevant they are

tips:

- paid sites or sites that sell products or services, or a site overwhelmed by advertising.
- obviously links should direct to stable areas not forums, social media or temporary internet content...etc
- Links to blogs and personal web pages unless you blog is well-known or directly related to the topic


sorry for not being elaborate I'll write a complete article next time
