bathrobecabal.org is not even in the same ballpark as

In fact, comparing them at all is quite frankly moronic.
Thank you for your kind words.
The .org was bought *after* the creation of the
Wikipedia url, and it's
The airline redirected the URL to a long pre-existing article. They
thought it was their pre-existing webpage. (After all, it was all
about them! :) )
maintained by a devoted Wikipedian who didn't want
others subverting a url
that applied to their self-categorization. It's not even group that does
anything as a unit, it's actually a joke about taking a picure of yourself

...which has absolutely nothing to do with Wikipedia.
By 'maintained by a devoted Wikipedian' do you mean 'kept in a
protected state to inhibit editing by others'?
So, as far as you're concerned I can setup some joke page entirely
unrelated to Wikipedia on Wikipedia. Redirect a domain name to it. Use
CSS hacks to overwrite the user interface. .. and keep it protected to
prevent unapproved people from modifying my website. Did I get that
right?
If not, please spell it out for me, because that sounds like what
you're claiming.
