Unless I'm misreading something, that's not even close to accurate. They claim Amazon had only 1721 links in Wikipedia in November 2006, but according to Special:Linksearch they had over 19000 links a month before that and they have over 25000 now.
Rereading that thread apparently they parsed the data specially just looking for "citations" in some way, exclusing external links that weren't that (it seems like). But yeah, in hindsight, it looks flawed.
