Well, the logos are registered. So if the logos are registered then the names have to be also? I mean the bottom of the Wikipedia pages it states " Wikipedia® is a registered trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc." So, I'm guessing the same appiles to Wikinews. Maybe we should inquire with the legal team perhaps?
