How is that different to having "(WMF)" or "(WMUK)" after your
username? There are several obvious differences (WMF/WMUK staff don't
usually edit article content, they are affiliated with Wikipedia, they
are non-profit, etc.), but I'm curious what, if any, difference you
think makes one ok and the other not.
