Isn't the official site is http://www.wikilovesmonuments.eu? Also, some chapters have their own. It's not a commercial event, so I don't think the participants run that .com site. My apologies, if I am wrong.

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...
is not a WMF event. And all of the sites have the country code in the end. _____ *Béria Lima* http://wikimedia.pt/(351) 925 171 484

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.
