The Register - specifically Orlowski - doesn't make elementary mistakes. They publish fiction related to Wikipedia.

Jimmy already knows, although I don't know what (if any) action he will take.
Just to confirm, I haven't been contacted by phone about this at all, and am not aware that The Register has made any attempts at communicating with WMUK. If they have, then perhaps they would have avoided making embarrassing, elementary mistakes...

Someone should probably make Jimmy Wales aware of this article, he may want to complain about his company and ours being conflated like that... We should certainly complain about it. The board should write to his editor pointing out the errors.
I'm also interested in his sub-headline, "Decision unlikely to be amended". Is that just his personal opinion? I haven't seen anyone else make such a statement and it is odd to use your own opinions as sub-headlines...
