Hi all, I'm trying to find out who owns the UK Wikipedia domains. As best I can tell, wikipedia.org.uk is owned by "Chris Brooking", registered via http://www.webconexion.net . Does anyone know who Chris Brooking is and how I can get in contact with him? Thanks, Mike

Sorry, scrap that - I was thinking of Wikipedia Ltd, which is owned by "SaneChoice" (details here: http://www.kyotee.co.uk/detail/4040.htm?trk=1) a company formation company focussing on IT. On Apr 8, 11:18 pm, andrewrtur...(a)googlemail.com wrote:

Thanks anyway Andrew. For the record; information on their registration of Wikipedia Ltd is at: http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/5851b0c0aff7a59fc360d0471517fd69/ compdetails I've passed the info on to Mike Godwin just in case he doesn't already know about it.
