Blog post up at https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/02/14/wikimedia-foundation-supports-wikiped… I think it might be nice to do something about it though don't know how direct we want to be. Given both my personal feelings and the wording of the post I tweeted something (on my personal account) a bit more direct [see below]. I'm happy with that but also happy to tone it down :).
