You could find the solution here:

it seems to be under guidelines: http://wikimediafoundation. org/wiki/Wikimedia_visual_identity_guidelines

and you should ask a permission, but it is also strange look for a permission for a Wikipedia logo in Wikipedia contents: it is a paradox.

Because of an ongoing editwar in the Dutch wiki, I have a question about the use of the Wikimedia logo's.

Like most Wikipedia's, we have an article about Wikipedia itself ( http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia ). Recently, this article was the center of an editwar. The discussion is about the logo's: some editors say the content of Wikipedia is GFDL, and the logo is not, so the logo should not be in the article. Others think the use is allowed, because the logo's are the Wikipedia-logo's, and if we themselve can't use them, they are just obsolete. Eve other just say: it's on Commons, so it's alright.

I've been looking for a policy on meta and on the foundation's site, but I really can't find any clear and definite policy: only that they are looking into it 'now', and that the board is talking about it.

Does anyone have a solid and conclusive answer on the question if the logo's may be used in the articles or not. Also, is there some official policy of the board about this, and if not, can a policy be written about this matter.

We really need solid answers on this question, to stop this kind of editwars once and for all.

Greetings, Tuvic (nl-wiki)
