Where does it state what site I am and am not allowed to link to?
It only does this vaguely and only when in competition with Novell:
"You may not post or transmit through this web site advertising or
commercial solicitations; promotional materials relating to web site
or online services which are competitive with Novell and/or this web
site; software or other materials that contain viruses, worms, time
bombs, Trojan horses, or other harmful or disruptive component,
political campaign materials; chain letters; mass mailings, spam mail,
any robot, spider, site search/retrieval application, or other manual
or automatic device or process to retrieve, index, "data mine", or in
any way reproduce or circumvent the navigational structure or
presentation of this web site or its contents."
My point however was that wiki guideline enforcement should not be
personal. eg "I deleted this because I don't think it should be here"
type comments. They should only be enforcing published guidelines, if
there are no guidelines you can't really blame the contributor.
Without asking the person, you have no idea what the reason was he placed
those links there and only the openSUSE.org webmaster has the right to
remove them (and the user, if need be)
You talk about rights. This is a wiki, and all text unless protected
can be edited without permission from the original author. period. no
further discussion necessary. This is agreed by the original author
when they submitted their text. "Please note that all contributions to
openSUSE may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors. If
you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly, then don't
submit it here."
Now it may be considered rude and break other social rules, but I or
anybody else has the right to edit any text they want.
I will agree and it is the point I have been trying to make, that
communication is important, and people should be given the benefit of
the doubt in regards to their intention. The wiki needs to be a
friendly place, it is a big place, and lots of activity has no impact
on the prupose of the wiki. If we all spent this time editing the wiki
rather than talking about stuff, it would be the most constructive
outcome.
