Dear Mr Moeller,
Thanks for your clear message.
We will change logo to the one attached. And domain name to wikimyanmar.org.
Let me know it is agreedable to Wikipedia Foundation. We will do the changes in two day time.
BTW, myanmarwikipeida.org is registerred by Ko Ngwe Tun.
Sorry for inconvienent cause.
Best regards, Okisan

having same policy as Wikipedia Foundation.
Okisan,
the point here is that myanmarwikipedia.org is using the name "Wikipedia" and a version of the Wikipedia logo without permission from the Wikimedia Foundation, which owns international trademark rights to this name, and the copyright to the logo and any derivative version.
This is an unauthorized use, and whatever your intentions are, you are in violation of national and international copyright and trademark law if you continue it. The fact that you are soliciting money in someone else's name is making matters worse.
I would ask you at this point to take down myanmarwikipedia.org and to work with us in figuring out a solution for the Myanmar Wikipedia community that makes sense. We are willing to support technical development of automatic converters, so that users can be active in a single community. We are not predisposed to any particular solution, except for a desire to promote open source and open standards as we move forward.
You are _not_ legally permitted to continue to use the name myanmarwikipedia.org and the Wikipedia logo in the manner in which you are using it. Please stop. -- Erik Möller aDeputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation
