I would like to request that everyone stops using the abbreviation WMF
to refer to the Wikimedia Foundation. We do not own the domain name
WMF.org and it is not likely we ever will. If people make the effort
not to use it, it will reduce confusion and misdirected traffic.

Although I quote Sj above, this is in no way directed only at him.
It's bad enough that we don't own wikimedia.com that I think efforts
should be made to prevent even more links to sites that are not really
us.

Thanks.
