World Forum is not just using the logo. It is also claiming to be "In
Association With Wikinews", which implies a lot more than simply
making use of our content.

The logo appears directly underneath a "Visit our advertisers" notice.
This needs to be removed to prevent people being misled into thinking
that their donations to the Foundation are being wasted on paying for
advertising on such sites.

Something stating that _some_ content is from Wikinews would be more
appropriate. At the moment, the Wikinews logo appears more prominently
than the site's own logo, giving the impression that Wikinews has far
more influence over the site than it does.
