Qgil added a comment.

I typed that string, so let me explain, and sorry for the confusion in advance. 
I just learned that this cause a lot of distress here and in other channels.

"Wikimedia" really means "Wikimedia", and not "Wikimedia Foundation". 
"Wikimedia team" could be "WMF Strategic Partnerships" as much as "Wikimedia 
Finland", "Amical Wikimedia", etc.

Thanks to your reaction I see that a) the wording isn't clear but b) it doesn't 
need to be a team either. An individual wikimedian (volunteer or not) can be 
also a point of contact. And well, this point of contact is just recommended, 
not required. I'll edit that section to make all this clear.

Since the beginning of this project we have stated that GLAM was a successful 
precedent to watch and learn from. Most GLAM projects happen because there is a 
cultural institution willing to contribute, but also (and specially) because in 
most cases there are key wikimedians bridging between those organizations and 
Commons etc. This is the simple idea we want to apply here.
