How much power in a Wikipedia backlink?

[DianeGracely]

Hi Guys,

I discovered recently by accident that my website was listed on Wikipedia.
Could this be the reason why my website rose from #800 to the top #50?
If this is correct, does this mean that a Back Link from Wikipedia is very empowering?

How does a person go about getting a Back Link from Wikipedia?

Thank you.

If you are getting a Do-follow link from such site , its obvious that your SERP movement will rise.
