With domain names I suggest ethical use; so if we are going to use them, or it is so similar/recognisable that we don't want others using it, or there is a high liklihood of spammers using them, or it is too specific a domain (i.e. miss-spellings of Wikipedia) for it to be useful to anyone else - then get them.
wp.org.uk could be useful to someone else - so lets consider whether it really is necessary. wm.org.uk seems a good idea to get. wm.co.uk I don't think is needed. Just my 2p anyway :) Tom On 9 June 2011 17:52, Harry Burt <harryab...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Thu, Jun 9, 2011 at 1:16 PM, geni <geni...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> It's not even as if "wp" is that closely associated with Wikipedia. >> Online you have worldpress.
