Okay, that makes some sense. Now, why the hell aren't they nofollowed along with everything else?
Presumably because they're very unlikely to be spam links that search engine spammers would insert to try to get Google rank.
Looking at the list, this doesn't seem to be true. Even just the wiki links, I mean anyone can create a wikicity or whatever it's called, and anyone can edit the ones that are there.
(And now let's see if search engine spammers start looking for ways to abuse that ...)
One obvious way is to link to an iw site that doesn't have nofollow on, and then link from there to the spam site.
