As for naked short selling, it is simply selling shares you don't have in your possession.
Strictly speaking, naked short selling means selling stock which you don't possess *AND* haven't arranged to borrow.
Also, I'm not sure there is an official definition anywhere, but I'd say that the practices which the market makers engage in is, by definition, not naked short selling.
