As of January 21st, 2007 all outbound links from the English Wikipedia Site are now using the NOFOLLOW attribute no matter what.
This was something that was only a matter of time till Wikipedia HAD to enforce this rule b/c so many spammers were populating the site. It is unfortunate that it had to come to this but in all honesty this is for the better and I expect the Wikipedia site to be much improved and less filled with "spammy" "External Links"
