No, I've never heard of him before. > I mean, it seems like if there was a good reason to delete that information > (which I can't imagine), he should have given a better explanation of why he > was deleting it. I've dealt with people like this in other communities. Some people seem to feel that a wiki has a fixed format, and that certain pages should *only* contain certain pieces of information, in a certain format, and that any deviation from this historical format must be stamped out. I don't know where this mindset comes from, but I'd bet there are multiple Debian wiki editors who hold it. There's rarely just one. There's typically a self-appointed cabal. If you ever wonder why the Debian wiki will never match the Arch wiki in terms of quality, people like this are a part of the reason.
