There's a thing called the "history" tab which is useful in this context. I separated it out from the main [[Linux]] article (which was an utter mess) in 2004. There are partisans on all sides. However, the good ones know how to edit neutrally *anyway*. Presuming that anyone who does anything of benefit to a side other than yours is proceeding from malice ... is a fundamental error. That's where the Wikipedia maxim "assume good faith" comes from. You can think of it instead as "assume stupidity rather than malice" if you like ;-) - d. _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
