This is now fixed, I emailed Jay Walsh to get it sorted.

Was it an intentional pun that you put "wikimedia foundation" instead of "Wikimedia Foundation"? It just goes to show, some people capitalize things differently (whether intentional or not). I see seasoned Wikimedians use the term "WikiMedia", try not to get too upset by it... just do what Brian did, e-mail the proper person.
Not everybody knows who the proper person to mail is. In this case, due to being involved with the Communications Committee, I knew Jay Walsh pretty much considers the WMF blog a pet project. They're always on the lookout for something interesting to add to it. Perhaps Mike Halterman's upcoming interview would make a good topic. As I understand it from IRC, the subject's WP article has been translated into half a dozen new languages as part of the lead up and solicitation of questions.

I tend to camel case all the WikiMedia project names.
I must be seasoned.
Sweet or sour?
In all seriousness, isn't this one of the reasons we have these mailing lists?

Yes. I shouldn't have responded to bawolff's post directly, but to Jason's "Geez...first the budget denied...not they cannot even get our name right..." which is what really caused me to respond. I was about to run out the door and the point I was trying to make was "whining on the list doesn't help, go tell the proper person to fix it".
