NOTE: NOT because external links are bad, but because the articles to
which he was linking were misleading, incorrect, and promoted sub-
optimal solutions to common problems. The implied endorsement (The
Apache docs link to this article, so it must be true) was
unfortunate, and undesirable.
Although I respect Bill's desire to have this solved apache-wide, I
actually think that this case would have been better addressed in the
closer confines of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Let's just address this particular case
and not worry about the general issue for now.
The Apache wiki is not some democratic exercise like wikipedia where
we need to treat everyone equally. We are a meritocracy, not a
democracy, even on the wiki. Certain people (like Rich) have earned
the right to make final decisions about what should be on the wiki.
AskApache has not earned that right.
The content that he is adding is inappropriate (and violates my
suggested policy) for many reasons. I suggest that someone email him
and tell him that he is henceforth banned from:
1) Making any links to his personal site; and
2) Reverting any change made by someone else (even if that change is a
reversion of his change).
If he can't live with those rules, he can be banned for good.
+1
Would it be possible to re-enable write access for known 'good guys' so
we can continue the process maintaining the wiki?
If you would like me to send this email (as someone who has not
interacted with him before) I'd be fine with that (although I don't
know his address).
Josh, I am happy to send this mail too, as I already have a history with
him. I am not sure he will react overly well with someone else 'wading
in' to this.
Joshua.
