- Using the WMF logo instead of Wikimedia UK one (do we allow use of logos
for press purposes?)
WMF used to explicitly say on the press page that use of the logos in press articles about Wikimedia sites was fair use anyway (we kept getting calls asking explicit permission), though I can't find such a statement right this moment.
In any case, I'd say using the logo in a press article about WMF or WMUK is pretty clearly fair use.
- "The review, commissioned by Wikimedia UK and its sister charity in the
US, theWikimedia Foundation, " - the WMF and WMUK are independent organisations, is sister charity appropriate?
Strikes me as a reasonable descriptor. How would you describe it from the outside view?
It's also in a paper about the charity sector, whose readers could reasonably be expected to understand a structure with a parent organisation in one country that owns the names and organisations in other countries that are independent charities, but obviously are going to work together quite closely on pretty much the same sort of goals.
- "or editing of the UK Wikipedia site." - I believe this should be English
Wikipedia?
That's a correction that needs making.
- The article links to
http://www.civilsociety.co.uk/directory/company/3377/wikimedia_foundation which gives the WMUK logo and address, but the Foundation's name and website (see the Description tab too)
And that.
