::Wikipedia as such does not own anything at all. If some WP-thingy owns anything, it is the '''Wikimedia Foundation Inc.''' which is a non-profit organisation which has registered the domain wikipedia.org and similar domains. Besides this entry on Alexa, there is no indication that WMF owns searchbastard.com and the like. It is likely, that those domains where owned by the company Bomis Inc. (or the people who owned the company) which also registered Bomis.com. WMF was founded by the people of Bomis. There is neither need nor use or indication, that those domains should or would have been transferred to the WMF as well. Anyway no domain owns any other domain. Therefore, if Alexa states any "owned by" than Alexa should state, who is the registrar of wikipedia.org in the first place, which Alexa does not do. Even the term "to own" is wrong. Therefore this "information" of "Other Sites Owned" is questionable by design. At best, there could have been a moment in time when wikipedia.org and some of the other mentioned domains have been registered by the same institution. But this institution has not been and is not the WMF. The "ownerships" of the other domains are heavily obfuscated. I think, what this Alexa entry rally proves is the inaccuracy of Alexa because it is so obviously wrong and about such a prominent domain, that Alexa staff could not convincingly excuse it by "we can not control every little detail in our database...". They do not control any detail at all. It proves that Alexa is run by weasels. Their data collecting processes are so overly automated that blatant inaccuracy is guaranteed. We know pretty well how much work it makes to keep track with ever changing details about internet entities. We can not do it ourselves, not enough manpower. If Alexa would try to present correct data, they would have to more than triple their staff and would not be able to gain any profits for the investors.
