I think what greg's trying to say, is that
the WHOIS record for that
domain indicates that it is not a WMF-owned property....
Hm. Not some stray
Wikipedian then?
Anyway I sent him an email. Let's see if he responds.
It's owned by a Wikipedian. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tl-lomas/enwp.org
According to past emails I have on this, the German chapter owns
dewp.org and Walter Vermeir owns
nlwp.org and
frwp.org. These ones
don't work as shortcuts though.
dewp.org is an error page and the
others redirect to wikkipedia.be.
I strongly recommend against making links through *any* unofficial
alternate domain, whether WMF owns it or not. (Perhaps especially if WMF
owns it!) Sooner or later someone will forget to renew it and it'll
become a squatted spam site. :)
