wikipedia.co.uk is apparently owned by Bomis, which seems a little strange - wasn't everything transferred over to WMF? wikimedia.co.uk is owned by James Forrester, a Wikimedian wikipedia.org.uk is owned by Chris Brooking, a name I don't recognise (and the domain appears to be dead) wikimedia.org.uk is owned by James Forrester (and may be transferred to Wikimedia UK - I believe we're waiting for a response for James on that one) The .net.uk names are apparently both registered, but have no site attached to them and no name given. I haven't checked other European domains, or the domains for other projects, but it seems we aren't doing too badly in the UK. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
