At last, the company (a registered charity) is now called "Wikimedia
UK". The name was changed from "Wiki UK Ltd". A former version of the
project was called "Wiki Educational Resources Ltd" which is a rather
apt name given the current interest in training. This company was
dissolved in 2009. It does not appear to have ever submitted any accounts.
Company No. 05708269
Status: Dissolved 31/03/2009
Date of Incorporation: 14/02/2006
Why choose the name "wikimedia" when the public are in general much more
familiar with the term "wikipedia"? Are we guilty of being to close the
issue and not seeing the wider picture (but that was was given as the
reason for the formal name change at the AGM???)? Is there now time to
reflect?
I know something of the trademark issues, and I know something about the
relationship to the Foundation.
Compare and contrast:-
1) Wikipedia
2) Wikimedia
3) Mediawiki
