[WikiEN-l] Wikipedia is ... free web hosting?

Hi. Regarding your concern with www.bathrobecabal.org being a redirect 
to Wikipedia in comparison to an airline that purchased a domain and got 
pissy about "their website" being "hacked", I'd like to point out some 
differences:

1. It's a subpage, not an article.
2. It's a joke page. We don't actually represent anything past admins 
with a sense of humor and an appreciation of bathrobes.
3. I understand the way Wikipedia works, and I advertise (meaning post 
it on Wiki to editors) the link knowing that it redirects to an editable 
wiki page.

With that said, how is this as weird as that? Or even close? It's a joke 
subpage with a registered URL to further the funny. And, as an aside, we 
took it down, since now two people have found a reason to complain about 
it, but I'm still curious.

Regards,
LaraLove
