Pardon, but aren't *all* outbound links on Wikipedia marked nofollow?

yea they all are... it's actually why I brought this up... it's more to open a discussion regarding if Wikipedia actually deserves to rank for the terms they are...

You can't copyright a name. Trademark maybe but not copyright.

Because we care much more about discouraging spammers than we do about giving "link juice" to third parties (marketers who aren't spammers, honest) to get them in good with a fourth party, Google. We actively don't care about your pagerank.
There's a mission statement at the top of http://wikimediafoundation.org/ . If you can come up with an obvious and convincing argument why switching off nofollow will cause more benefit to the mission than the spam it discourages, go for it.
