The "Wikipedia Executive Director" thing was a short-lived, misguided (but well-intentioned) attempt to avoid confusing donors by refering to brands they weren't familiar with. "Wikipedia founder" is just correct. Jimmy did (co-)found Wikipedia. "Wikimedia founder" would be controversial - Jimmy didn't found the other projects. He did found (or, at least, was involved in founding) the WMF, but that's not the same thing as founding Wikimedia. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
