Hi billy,
thanks for your attention. Wiki Loves Monuments is being organized by
several chapters in over 15 countries in Europe. The main page for that is
indeed
www.wikilovesmonuments.eu . The Wikimedia Foundation is not involved
in organizing the events, nor is it responsible for its websites - this is
one of the projects run by chapters.
Unfortunately, it is not affordable to register every possible domain which
might be hijacked. We were aware that there would be a risk for that, and
that potentially, this could be organized in even many more countries. We
did choose to register
wikilovesmonuments.org (registered by WMDE) but
didn't register the .com - we had to draw a line somewhere.
For a possible intercontinental contest, we would have to rely on the .org
domain.

Yes, I understood that.
But I think its kind of stupid that the foundation didn't buy the .com
domain and that it was possible to hijack it...
