Can a link to my website from Wikipedia hurt my PageRank at

A lot of questionable websites use content from Wikipedia. These sites would also link to my website.

Hello there!
Since WikiPedia is a "public space", which can be spammed, WikiPedia makes all outgoing links "nofollow" meaning there is no "PageRank juice" which flows.

As long as your link profile is solid, a link can't hurt you. :evil:

Wikipedia no makes dissimilarity to Page Rank of linked pages, also optimistic or harmful. This is deliberate on Google's fraction. They have publicize this is to put off low value links from being added to Wikipedia articles.
