Why?
I would prefer not, as I like the project domains to be kept clean, and I suspect it would (by effect if not intent) be abusing 'wikipedia's name to push meta content higher up in the results.
Project domains should be used for that project only, so IMO it would only be appropriate to host a Wikipedia specific blog on blog.wikipedia.org (and likewise for the other projects). However I feel it is cleaner if project subdomains are restricted to language codes except where redirects are needed for keeping historical links working.
Currently when I search "blog wikipedia" , I get the Wikimedia blog as the third result, followed by three Wikimedia blog posts about Wikipedia. Ideally that search should show _more_ Wikipedia content about blogs in the search results before meta stuff like the Wikimedia blog.
If we added and used blog.wikipedia.org, it would probably rank higher in search results, which I believe is contrary to our goals.

Hey, The subject is self-explanatory (also I have this suggestion for blog.wikiquote.org and other projects as well)
What do you think?
