ouch, this is painful. Like many chapters probably I have been trying to explain to people the difference between Wikimedia and Wikipedia, and that Wikipedia has no such thing as a board of editors or even a board of directors, but that the Wikimedia Foundation has, etc - and now we are running a page ourselves that says we /do/ have an executive director? (giving the impression that there is actually personnel to write the encyclopedia) I know that KISS is a good thing, but we have always tried to make clear that wiki/p/edia is a volunteer project, why are we loosing that now?
I hope that it will be possible to make this small change from a p into an m.

The word Wikipedia wasn't supposed to make it to sister sites, and that's being fixed right now, so pardon my quick note... I'll write a bit more later about the term as being used on Wikipedia, but the error in pushing it out to sister sites is being corrected right now, so I wanted to acknowledge that...
Wikipedia does not have an Executive Director, or anything of the sort. That title suggests that Sue has the final say over content. I don't think it should be used anywhere.
But, thanks for at least removing it from the 'smaller' projects.
