I'm pretty sure Wikitravel, Jimmy's objectivist mailing lists, and 
Answers.com have never been widely confused with Wikimedia to the extent 
that multiple news articles referred to them as the "commercial 
counterpart" to Wikipedia. They also did not share office space or 
bandwidth with Wikimedia, or have debts to Wikimedia mentioned in 
independent financial audits. They also did not use advertising slogans 
that made prominent use of the Wikipedia trademark and implied a 
relationship, such as Wikia's former slogan, "Wikipedia is the 
Encyclopedia. Wikia is the rest of the library."
