Links on Wikipedia

Hi OSP members

According to some SEOs links on Wikipedia are like gold.

I have tried adding links to terms that a related to my site, but it seems just after I edit a terms page, someone changes it and takes my link off.

How important is a Wikipedia link?

If it is important, then how do you get a link to stay on Wikipedia?

I gather that a link on wikipedia would be very good.

As for getting the link to stay it must be completely relevant and useful/helpful. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Hey, I have a few links on wikipedia. It's hit and miss. Like above though, you must have something very relavent to the area you are getting the link from.

Cheers

They are like pot of gold to me.
And tell you that I wouldn't exchange them for a link on a PR 10 website.

That's how valuable they are to me. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Well I also added my links but it was deleted so can you please tell me how I can make my links to stay there for a long time. I heard people saying that adding articles can guarantee that but not sure about that? -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.

People just come behind and delete them, even when you just link to solid content sites on relatively obscure articles. It's really not worth wasting your time when someone can just come along and wipe out your efforts. Wikipedia links are not going to stay forever, that's 4 sure. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

I have like 5 links on wikipedia all PR6 and getting a lot of traffic from wikipedia. They are there for more than 4 months now. I won't tell you which links so editors won't delete them -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
