If he doesn't have the statutory nor constitutional authority to legally name it
The Secretary of the Interior and the Board on Geographic Names have legal authority (see 43 U.S.C. 364b) to set the standard name for U.S. federal usage. Which doesn't mean that Wikipedia must adhere to the federal standard.

Comment Re:YouTube cares about nothing but $$$$ (Score 1) 75
YouTube's only concern these days is revenue and profit.
When was YouTube's only concern otherwise? Even in its early years, YouTube's concern about growth was a byproduct of a concern about building revenue and profit.

Comment Boat Anchor (Score 1) 46
I once asked a development manager how much it would cost to port an infrastructure product to a new platform. He said it would be at least $1 million. I noted that the port would be fairly simple, and he said that it wasn't the port that was expensive, it was dragging it around like a boat anchor chained to our ankle for the next 10 or 20 years that was expensive. He was right.
