Even though Wikipedia added nofollow tags in early 2007, backlinks you manage to snag there will still help you from an SEO standpoint.

Please share your knowledge regarding this topic.. is wikipedia still useful for SEO?

Wikipedia is one of the great source of information about anything and all I can say was, even it's not a nofollow site, the information this site gives is enough for me.

Wikipedia used to be a primary source of authority links which search marketers worked very hard to get.Even if Wikipedia links do not affect search rankings, they still most definitely drive traffic to sites that are linked within a Wikipedia article.
