There is nothing at all wrong with having the English wikipedia at wikipedia.org and have all the pages that are about the English language project be in the wikipedia namespace (or in the other languages project namespaces). As each language figures out what to call their wikipedia we can buy them domain names for that and make sure the xx.wikipedia.com domain names still work. Other than being a one-page portal to all the different language wikipedias (which the Main Page already does -- as do most of the other language main pages) I don't see any logic in using wikipedia.org for anything other than the English language wikipedia. -- Daniel Mayer (aka mav)
