Was only a matter of time. So nice of him to attempt to contact the Board for a comment, but since he got the name of the company wrong twice in the article he probably was unable to work out who to contact.

Someone should probably make Jimmy Wales aware of this article, he may want to complain about his company and ours being conflated like that... We should certainly complain about it. The board should write to his editor pointing out the errors. I'm also interested in his sub-headline, "Decision unlikely to be amended". Is that just his personal opinion? I haven't seen anyone else make such a statement and it is odd to use your own opinions as sub-headlines... _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediauk-l@... http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org |

Jimmy already knows, although I don't know what (if any) action he
will take. Just to confirm, I haven't been contacted by phone about this at all, and am not aware that The Register has made any attempts at communicating with WMUK. If they have, then perhaps they would have avoided making embarrassing, elementary mistakes...

In light of this we have revised our Donations and Membership forms. We should also mention that any higher rate tax payers who have donated to Wikimedia UK and filled out a Gift Aid Declaration should not include this amount in their tax return as they will not be entitled to claim further tax relief, until, that is, we are recognised by HMRC.
