Thanks Fred. The XML dumps call themselves Wikipedia. I'll change then 
name to "Wikipedia Mirror" which
should help clear up the confusion. Wikipedia lists sites on its pages 
which import te XML dumps as
"Wikipedia Mirrors".

As for community problems, they are in the past. All I ever wanted was 
fair treatment and Mr. Wales in the end
made certain this happened, so as far as I am concerned, all of these 
problems belong in the past, and we can move
forward with a fresh new day -- turn the page, next chapter.

Jeff
