It also requires SEO people to demonstrate a modicum of logical reasoning

appears to be beyond at least some of them.

I thought that Wikipedia addressed the SEO problem by getting Google to not
follow the off-wiki links when crawling, so that Wikipedia's page rank would
not follow through to off-Wikipedia links. But I cannot (using Google) find
the page where I read that.
While that doesn't prevent people from
That's actually a Wikipedia thing, by putting
a rel=nofollow class=external text

I agree it's not a new worry, but it might change the nature of the
problem a bit, and is worth at least being vigilant about. I did have a
similar idea some years ago, to compute an impact factor for
being-cited-on-Wikipedia, but after discussing it with some colleagues,
didn't do so specifically
I agree that we could be doing something interesting with the social
dynamics of Wikipedia editing by releasing this dataset -- and that some
new problems may result. However, I think that it's much better to have
