Except that this one is a small group of admins (mostly) in userspace and there hasn't been any enraged reports of hacking. Are there policies related to linking *into* Wikipedia? I'd be surprised. I think (but I'm not 100% sure) that this has already survived an MfD.
I missed that fact, but that just makes it all the more baffling.
Using CSS hacks to hide the site and make it claim to be some other domain is pretty darn outrageous... at least the airline didn't use clever kludges to rewrite the page.
I wouldn't really call that a CSS hack, considering they could have also done it using a magic word ({{DISPLAYTITLE}}). It doesn't seem to be using Wikipedia as a web host, more like using the domain to make a parody page in userspace more amusing/realistic.
