Similarly, I wonder why so many emails seem to be referring to the World 
Monuments Fund. For those who share my interest in Wikipedia as a 
trademark, I would suggest that one helpful way to protect its trademark 
status is to practice actually using the word (properly, of course), and 
*not* constantly acronymize it. The same applies to helping the world at 
large learn that the nonprofit organization behind all of this is the 
Wikimedia Foundation (not Wikipedia Foundation).
