ouch, this is painful. Like many chapters probably I have been trying to explain to people the difference between Wikimedia and Wikipedia, and that Wikipedia has no such thing as a board of editors or even a board of directors, but that the Wikimedia Foundation has, etc - and now we are running a page ourselves that says we /do/ have an executive director? (giving the impression that there is actually personnel to write the encyclopedia) I know that KISS is a good thing, but we have always tried to make clear that wiki/p/edia is a volunteer project, why are we loosing that now?
I hope that it will be possible to make this small change from a p into an m.
