Fails at step 13 when the site owners with a clue about how Wikipedia works
spot a scumbag and laugh at them. ;-)

One moment please...

I'm writing a how-to guide for sinking that website to the bottom. It
involves many of their own techniques.

I'll post it soon.

A correction: we call it a walled garden, not a silo, so followers of the
advice should know the terminology when we politely correct them.

Well, Peter, it's got over 2,000 in-bound links, from user and user talk pages:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2011-08-01/In_the_news
We should really look at making such links nofollow; only mainspace links 
should be dofollow, and that should exclude nav templates and the like.

And why would we want to do something like that?  We're not here to make
life easier for the SEO industry.
