For exactly this reason Wikipedia adds "nofollow" attributes to all external links on Wikipedia. You will get no SEO / page rank link juice from adding links to Wikipedia. You will probably get organic traffic though.

Just because a link is "nofollow" does not mean you get no juice. Being linked to from wikipedia definitely helps a site's rankings...

Argument that "nofollow" = "no seo juice" is debatable. Many SEO believe that lots of links from Wikipedia does help.
I have no data of my own to support the above. Theory says that "nofollow" will not help is SEO.
