Wikipedia and Domains Recent challenges to Domaining in Wikipedia have forced domainers to rethink their approach to the world of information and collaborative data. We have been contributors on behalf of our industry and strive to move more issues forward through this and other reference channels. Check out some of our recent additions and discussions on Wikipedia on the contributions page.

Expiring Names - GoDaddy

GoDaddy Domain Auctions for Expiring Prerelease Names

Here are the GoDaddy pre-release names we are trying to grab today:

PictureMate.com - Perfect blend of "photo" and "friend" synonyms, and 10 years old continuous.

iMortgage.net - TM for this term on the .com is for residential loans, so this .net can still be marketed for commerical loans

GoLogos.com - Logo creation services keep growing in popularity, so this one looks like an instant hit

Compulsive.org - Only $80 at this point but might cost more towards the end of the auction. Nice name for non-profit or website about compulsive disorders.

Here are some names that some find interesting but we'll pass:

ActGreenBlog.com - Some traffic and alexa rank, but the current price of $255 with 4 hours to go is surely a wasted place to input energy. Not a terrible domain but not incredible either.

BluWaterResort.com - Already at $109? Granted, it is easier to grab BluWater than BlueWater, but if you aren't the end user this may prove difficult to resell.

 

Nissan Motor vs Nissan Computer

After a few conversations back and forth on the Wikipedia discussion page for Nissan Motor, I was able to verify all claims made by Uzi Nissan by getting into the PACER system at uscourts.gov. Once I got all the evidence required, I added the references to the discussion page as well as the article, adding clarity and cause for the entry. You can now see the completed entry at Nissan v Nissan. This article addresses the important case of NISSAN.COM which was first heard on December 1999 and found in favor of Nissan Motors. Uzi Nissan's appeal granted him in 2004 some rights and by 2008 he had essentially overturned all rulings, and been awarded $50,000 for his court defense costs.

It is very important for domainers everywhere to contribute real resources to public content and make sure their marks and claims are heard. We are being harassed and abused daily, and not everyone is going to win (although 10 years in court will make you rethink your priorities).

A copy of the court document proving this can only be found by creating a US COURTS PACER Account. For Wikipedia users I have added the final judgement for necessary documentation.
