Anyone else notice that on the wikimedia foundation blog, Wikinews is
miscapitalized? (under blogroll)

This is now fixed, I emailed Jay Walsh to get it sorted.

Was it an intentional pun that you put "wikimedia foundation" instead
of "Wikimedia Foundation"?  It just goes to show, some people
capitalize things differently (whether intentional or not).  I see
seasoned Wikimedians use the term "WikiMedia", try not to get too
upset by it... just do what Brian did, e-mail the proper person.

Not everybody knows who the proper person to mail is. In this case, due to
being involved with the Communications Committee, I knew Jay Walsh pretty
much considers the WMF blog a pet project. They're always on the lookout for
something interesting to add to it. Perhaps Mike Halterman's upcoming
interview would make a good topic. As I understand it from IRC, the
subject's WP article has been translated into half a dozen new languages as
part of the lead up and solicitation of questions.

I tend to camel case all the WikiMedia project names.

I must be seasoned.

Sweet or sour?

In all seriousness, isn't this one of the reasons we have these mailing lists?

Yes. I shouldn't have responded to bawolff's post directly, but to
Jason's "Geez...first the budget denied...not they cannot even get our
name right..." which is what really caused me to respond.  I was about
to run out the door and the point I was trying to make was "whining on
the list doesn't help, go tell the proper person to fix it".
