I think that the way the image is being used, however, is clearly to state, "it's unreliable". It can probably be actioned quite easily, as Facebook pages are supposed to be ran by key representatives of the brand they represent. Unless the Foundation are running it, it would not be hard to report.
The original page, with its 50,000 or so "fans" still seems a bit suspect in terms of its disappearance, and was a far better representative of the project (actual Wikipedia logo, and so forth).

At least in my opinion, this is hardly actionable. Besides, whoever made that image doesn't understand the concept of verifiability. On Wed, Mar 4, 2009 at 2:01 AM, Esteffect (Wikipedia e-mail) < esteffect@googlemail.com> wrote:

"Truth" is a concept often brokered in by authoritarians, where there are absolute, unchanging, statements of "fact", regardless of science, of future results, of more data, (etc.)
"Truth" has always been editable, depending on who has authority.
We're Wikipedia. We don't deal with a "Truth", we deal with many verifiable believers in many verifiable "truths".
