I'm sorry to insist in what may appear to be a petty issue, but I do not think it is.

I fail to see why anyone should be offended by our current treatment.
Case closed. The english Wikipedia can have www.wikipedia.org
Best thing al wikipedia's can do is get your one local country domain and use it for promotion.of your wikipedia in that country.
And if there are several languages in that country, share it. (like www.wikipedia.nl) For a overview of all Wikipedias you can send traffic to http://portal.wikipedia.be
It is even better for recognition to use the domain of the local country instead of the exotic .org (exotic for must users).
Must users get confused when a url does not start whit www and not ends whit (countrys ccTLD) or .com
And some webdirectorys do not accept a url if it is not from that country.
