The question is: why the difference, why is this so?
i got an article deleted sometime ago, it was for a LiveCD project
targeted for latinamerican immigrants in Europe, the wikipedia editor
said that since it hadn't "sold" more than 1000 copies it was still
not relevant to have an entry in wikipedia... Someone suggested i
should get a wikipedia lawyer (no joke, there are).. i got bored with
all that greyish nearsightness (not sure if one can say it like that,
my bad english)
if you compare backgrounds and the generational gap between FLOSS
developers and wikipedia editors you will get a clear reason for why
such difference...
the issue made me stop editng pages, i have no time to try to use my
wikipedia account anymore for defending all my editing, as i though
the project it was like a place where everyone could open a page, an
article and begin editing, no limit to number of pages created and the
possibility to fork and create new from old ones...but not deleting
pages from others on weak uninformed "consensus".
seems i haven't got through it yet!
