i don't know if i'd call this "official". kasuga made the character, yes, but it's not like she represents wikipedia. i take official art to refer to the copyright more than the character.

Wikipedia has used Wikipe-tan in official promotions, so...

one sign at a conference in hong kong doesn't outweigh the fact that jimmy wales despises her

It sounds like he doesn't mind Wikipe-tan herself, he just didn't want her sexualized for use on the lolicon article. That seems pretty reasonable to me.

In June 2007, a suggestive image of Wikipe-tan was proposed to be used in the article on lolicon. The image was removed from Commons by Jimbo Wales, who called Wikipe-tan a "community mascot" who should not be subject to such "pedophilic sexualization". Kasuga later drew a new image for the article which did not use Wikipe-tan.

It's strange: wikipedia's so cool but it's founder has proven to be kind of lame.

so should all Wikipedia related art by kasuga be retagged as official?

Maybe just the ones that are hosted on Wikimedia? I don't know if that's all of Kasuga's or not.
