I do not think there were be links broken now.
It is very strange that no-one seems to have picked up on this.
There are clearly many many more links to
http://www.wikipedia.org
(expecting to link to an English language encyclopedia) than ever
before. The decision has been taken to break these links.
Whether the cost of breaking those links is worth the gain of getting a
international portal is debatable.
It is true what you say. There are links to
www.wikipedia.org whit the idea
that it is the English Wikipedia. There are probably even more to
www.wikipedia.com.
The English Wikipedia have used the domain
www.wikipedia.com but never
www.wikipedia.org. And the time that Wikipedia EN was using
www.wikipedia.com
is before Wikipedia became famous.
I read almost every article about Wikipedia the you find whit google News.
Those articles are about the English Wikipedia. I happens a lot that the write
about
www.wikipedia.com or
www.wikipedia.org in the article.
The fact that many persons, even journalist who write about websites, are so
incompetent that the can not even get the url correct is very sad but is not
the problem of Wikipdia. Wikipedia is not responsible for the stupidity of the
humans.
