I noted yesterday (for the first time) a modification in english on the communicate page of the french wiki. I reverted it (only a sysop can do) immediately. However I couldn't set up a comment for the revert (may be I did something wrong) so I added a comment on the user discussion page saying that no english notice sould go on a french wiki :-) > Probably is time for another addition to policies and guidelines that > will regulate how to act if new user doesn't pay attention to messages > on his discussion page, removes "delete" template and continues with > "contributions". if you look at the number of red links in the user list, you will understand that most user don't understand the mediawiki way of life. This can be understood.
Mediawiki way of life? Anyway its a subscription based service to deliver info, if you expect everyone that come in there to activly participate we would be in deep shit with the number of crap that would came out, let alone all of them filling a profile for an account they might use once or twice ... See what happen when they start to really try and use it .. may be the sysop should have access to the user e-mail
(given at subscribtion time) to be able to notify such actions directly.
It's not like if all the WikiSysop were trustable ... Ho wait its just a scam to get a fat list of email to go sell to canonical right ?

Well talking about the commercial version, why are you gonna buy it if not for support? Anyway openSUSE wiki is way out of place for that, this IS NOT your personal paste bin, even less a place to spam publicity. personnally I am in favor of listing of commercial
applications relevant for us, even comments. I only asks the comments to be wiki way, that is as factual as possible, no advertisement nor non fact based advice (no: "the best of all products", but yes for "This product is fine for my home made photographs...") bit for the latter, we can trust the users (the many users).
Huh ?? -Trust is a weakness
