I recently found out that besides
wikinews.com, the site to keep track
of the wikirevolution sometime hopefully in the next 20 years, there
is also other sites that share are name, and are actually news-sites.
Is Wikinews a trademark of the wikimedia foundation? because if it is,
and other websites are using a similar name like that for news, don't
we loose the trademark or something like that (I really don't
understand trademark law, but that was the impression I got). Even if
that is not the case, I still find it concerning that other websites
are using similar names for news.
anyways, the sites are:
wikinewspaper.com basically a syndication site. domain registered on 2005-11-29
Wikinewsnetwork.com ,
thewikinews.org ,
thewikinews.com Basically a
very ugly conspiracy theory news site from what I can tell. Domain
registered 07-31-2005
All of these websites have alternate domains that have nothing to do
with wikinews.
