I've heard repeatedly in various contexts that folks don't like it when "Wikimedia" and "Wikimedia Foundation" are conflated or used interchangeably. I made a pass through the FAQs to try to draw a brighter line between the two, but happy if someone else will give it an edit as well. In cases where "Wikimedia" clearly seemed to reference WMF, I changed it to "the Wikimedia Foundation." In cases where it could mean Wikimedia as a movement, I left it unchanged. There were one or two instances where it seemed a bit of a toss up to me. Feel free to have at it if you're inclined. [[User:Mroth|Mroth]] ([[User talk:Mroth|talk]]) 21:14, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Out of date, inaccurate

Hi. Parts of this FAQ are now out of date or inaccurate. The whole page could use a read-through, if anyone has time. --MZMcBride (talk) 01:12, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

when to use "Wikimedia" and "Wikimedia Foundation"

I've heard repeatedly in various contexts that folks don't like it when "Wikimedia" and "Wikimedia Foundation" are conflated or used interchangeably. I made a pass through the FAQs to try to draw a brighter line between the two, but happy if someone else will give it an edit as well. In cases where "Wikimedia" clearly seemed to reference WMF, I changed it to "the Wikimedia Foundation." In cases where it could mean Wikimedia as a movement, I left it unchanged. There were one or two instances where it seemed a bit of a toss up to me. Feel free to have at it if you're inclined. Mroth (talk) 21:14, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
