I was trying to follow the nofollow discussion
(http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nofollow#Current_use_on_Wikimedia_projects).
I see it hinges on external links, and my question about it would be

The Community Portal is semi-protected, so its not that vulnerable to

Per the recent New York Times admission that one of your editors plagiarized
content from Wikipedia uncredited, I respectfully request credit for media
work of mine that Wired has reproduced without credit.
As a brief aside, when you sign up at wired, they send you a

Particularly ironic given the title and perhaps subject of the book.
