Two questions on nofollow for Matt Cutts

[Kay]

Vince Samios from the United Kingdom asked:

Do you feel that the widespread and blanket use of nofollow tags is devaluing Google's search algorithms? Examples such as Wikipedia, where ALL external links are nofollow. Does Wikipedia mean nothing to Google's algorithms?

jonaths from Brighton, UK asked:

Do Google take into account quality factors from nofollowed links when the links come from well established authority websites, such as Wikipedia?

Google created the nofollow link attribue solely for preventing the passing of Page Rank...to stop buying and selling of links for PR only.
