Snipping most of the blog post to highlight the above point. Much of
the subsequent discussion has turned out to be people discussing
WikiJournal, which the blog post explicitly stated this proposal was
*not* about.

i.e. I'm trying to point out to those coming late to this discussion
that it has veered off-topic.

Of course, it *is* a problem when you have something called "Wikipedia
Journal", something else called "WikiJournal", and something else
again called "Wiki Journal". All actually different things (the first
one being only a proposal so far).

Brand identity is the word I'm looking for, I think.

And confusion over brand identity.
