Hello everyone.
i do not wish to be rude or disrespectful of anyone or to anyone.
I am disappointed though by the actions taken by another person recently.
A little about myself.
not much to say.
I am as new/green as they come to linux.
I have been dabbling with various distros of Linux trying to find one that I can understand and that I like.
my next concern obviously was also to use/install one that would actually work on my hardware (HP laptop)
For technicl reasons that i am not yet savvy enough to correct the only distro that actually works and that I happen to have taken a liking to has been linux mageia.
i found out about Mageia after doing some research off of various linux website including Wikipedia of all places.
it is there that i actually first found out about/heard of marriage.
I often go back to the page for various things (usually puts me on a path someplace else)
a few days ago though the wiki page that talked about mageia was deleted.
For the life of me i can not figure out a logical reason as to why this was done.
I followed the links to the deletion log and i happened upon another person out there who from what i can tell decided that the article was not to his liking so he marked it for deletion.
Again I am not a programmer or tech savvy type but come on
Just because something does not meet your expectations what give one person the right to simply wipe it out?
I count myself lucky in that i found out about mageia prior to this occur.
the artile that was deleted was not bad from what I could see. It was structured/formatted like many that talk of the various types out there
So again my question is why?
if i could I'd redo/re write the thing and figure out a way to report it so that other like myself who wish to learn linux and perhaps escape from Microsoft will be able to do so.
it bother me that a small number of "elite type" think that only they can or should decide what is good and not good and do things like that.
Hopefully maybe someone who has been around the block so to speak (with some free time) can go back and fix that.
Sorry for my rambling.
Just does not seem right to me.
