By the way, I just want to apologize for the somewhat disputatious terseness
of my original post. There should have been some IMHO's etc in there. I
really do think Semapedia is a cool idea.

I just spoke to Stan, one of the two founders. He is under the
impression that their endorsement by de.wp has conferred an "unofficial"

Alexis please get in touch with me?
They are still without a formal organization, which is another concern.
Good publicity in the Wall St. Journal, though. =)

Great idea, horrible trademark/copyright infringement: "Semapedia: The
Physical Wikipedia"
I'm cc'ing the Semapedia contact email -- they need to change their tag
line to not include the word Wikipedia and put a comment that "Wikipedia
is a registered trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation".
Unless they want to become an official project of the Wikimedia
Foundation.
