Tomasz,

Some chapters use "Wikimedia" as official name, and some don't. Wikimedia UK
for example has "*Wiki UK Ltd*" as official name. There are no real problem
with that, since the chapter use the "Wikimedia <country/city/state>" as
working name.

> Errrm.. this is an official approval of the organisation called "Wiki
> Society of Washington, DC Inc." or I miss something?
>
> From a *very* formal point of view, the Board has just recognised a
> non-existing organisation, as there is no single mention of the name
> "Wikimedia" in the bylaws of "Wiki Society of Washington, DC Inc.".
> Why does Wiki Society of Washington, DC Inc use the name "Wikimedia
> District of Columbia" as their official/convenient name, then?
>
> Am I the first one to spot such a difference in the name of the
> chapter? All (or almost all) existing chapters use the name
> "Wikimedia" -- WMNYC's official name, for example, is "Wikimedia New
> York City".
