Indeed - can somebody change it?
Mark
Many thanks for the portal at www.wikipedia.org
Regarding www.wikipedia.com;
Wikipedia is a non-profit organization. It is even more non-profit then most non-profit organizations.
* no paid staff * absolutely no ads * income are only form donations * access to the product is free, use of the product for commercial purpose is allowed
You can not be more non-profit then Wikipedia.
For this reason Wikipedia should be proud to be a .org
If you use wikipedia.com and redirect directly to wikipedia.org most users will not notice the difference.
I suggest to point www.wikipedia.com to a very basic page that contains;
Wikipedia IS NOT .com
www.wikipedia.org
And a auto redirect whit a delay of 8 seconds.
Instead of IS NOT you can use the symbol = whit / over it.
Education is the objective of Wikipedia . Lets learn our users that there is a difference between a .org and a .com
To name Wikipedia a .com is a great insult to all Wikipedians.
