This strikes me as the kind of change that can be great, even clarifying, if the communities involved are on board -- and self-defeating if they are not. This seems to be the latter, including a general lack of enthusiasm among supporters of the change. So aside from questions of process, stopping seems right. SJ

Thanks for this Phoebe!

I'm largely uninformed, but I liked the idea of replacing Wikimedia with Wikipedia. That said, I see there's been some process concerns and this has been a heck of a year, so I don't think there's a need to rush? Then again, does delay bring anything other than not making the change?

Given that I'm mostly ignorant, and to whatever extent I'm a member of Wikimedia New England, I'd "abstain" and trust it to the more clueful.
