Hi. I see you took issue with User:Thumperward's orphaning of the GNU/Linux link. I also disagree with what he has done, as do quite a few other editors (User:Afarnen, User:Lightedbulb, Anon:73.92.13.221, User:Ximian99, etc, from a quick search).
There is no consensus on the issue, and Wikipedia's policy says that in cases of ambiguity, the least ambiguous name should be used. Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to undo Thumperward's edits. He edits Wikipedia a lot more than I do, and I simply can't keep up with him on this.
He alone removed all the GNU/Linux links and then he points at the lack of GNU/Linux links as proof that that name isn't acceptable. So, I just wanted to let you know that his claims of consensus are baseless (or at the very least, highly disputed) and his justifications are circular logic. --Gronky (talk) 13:24, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I'm glad to have that cleared up ... without going through 20 archives of Linux:Talk as Thumperward suggested. Thanks. novakyu (talk) 07:36, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
