Ah! Now we know it all make total sense!

I've corrected the page at https://www.w3.org/wiki/Social to reflect this. It was created wrong in July 2014 and hence the reason I was mislead into flagging up the name issue.

I've also undone the changes I made to the SocialIG home page.

I guess if this happens again – when someone more OCD than me arrives – we can document the fact that the title doesn't have a 'Web' in it. But I guess we can leave it for now as I'm sure there's not many as OCD as me. ;-)

Cheers Daniel
