Description

A very long time ago I registered the domain name wikipedia.be and wikkipedia.be Must have been in 2005.

I managed to transfer wikipedia.be over to the foundation. And probably also wikkipedia.be Or at least I offert it.

I forgot about wikkipedia.be

Today I discovered that I am still listed as the owner of wikkipedia.be I have a fresh registration certificate. It lists my name, address , telephone number and e-mail address. I do not how that is possible. I know I have not been paying for it.

It still points to the DNS servers of a hoster I used in 2005 and does not exist anymore.

But I am in the position to transer if over if someone is interested.

Hi @Walter: We'll be happy to take wikkipedia.be off of your hands. If you can email me at croslof@wikimedia.org, I will connect you with our domain name registrar to complete the transfer of ownership. Thank you!
