And ? Just looks like a domain squatting, owner expecting users to make typos when accessing wikipedia. What do you want us to do with it ? :o)
And although it is only one letter different, it is an a rather than e, and those letters are not beside each other on a QWERTY layout. Normally, they aren't even typed with the same finger so I think we're safe: not too many people will make that mistake.

Yea. I think it's much more important that we get the two remaining generic wikipAedia domains under our control (wikipaedia.org and wikipaedia.com). Because unlike with wikipadia.org, people are actually likely to make the "mistake" of typing "wikipaedia". I did a lot of research on wikipaedia.org and wikipaedia.com many months ago and someone from VereinDE-l wanted to look into this (it's much better if the German association takes care of this because the registrant/cybersquatter is German) but after I sent some reminder the issue just seems to have died, with nobody being particularly interested...
