I have the hosting capacities for a petition, and MySQL databases, but I'd probably need a little help setting up the system. However, I though Wikimedia servers could easily handle that.

I very much appreciate the discussion about problem domains.
It would benefit WMF greatly if we had the following:
-List of problem domains (is there a page?) -Petition engine to capture usernames against use of said domains
That will give us what we need to pursue action as laid out by Akash with a minimum of WMF resources having to dedicate time to it.
Thanks.

A thousand? I can guarantee a whole lot more than 1000. How about I build a prototype site to handle the petition where people can register their Wikipedia username as someone supporting the
petition?
It wouldn't be too hard, and if we can find hosting with reasonable database space, we can build it, post about it on village pump / community portal / whatever else. I bet we can get 10000 in a matter of weeks.

You could also come up with a petition, having all Wikipedia
users
sign it, and present it to domain owners. Anyone else have any
ideas?
Having all wikipedia users would be near-impossible, but I think
it
would be
possible to drum up a thousand or so.
Just about every time I've typed "wikipedia" wrong, i get a parked domain.... so it is an annoying problem, but is it worth the
trouble?
