Please note that the links you recently added have been removed as they breach the Terms of Site for commercial solicitation. The Terms of site are available here: http://en.opensuse.org/Terms_of_Site
Where does it state what site I am and am not allowed to link to?
It only does this vaguely and only when in competition with Novell: "You may not post or transmit through this web site advertising or commercial solicitations; promotional materials relating to web site or online services which are competitive with Novell and/or this web site; software or other materials that contain viruses, worms, time bombs, Trojan horses, or other harmful or disruptive component, political campaign materials; chain letters; mass mailings, spam mail, any robot, spider, site search/retrieval application, or other manual or automatic device or process to retrieve, index, "data mine", or in any way reproduce or circumvent the navigational structure or presentation of this web site or its contents." My point however was that wiki guideline enforcement should not be personal. eg "I deleted this because I don't think it should be here" type comments. They should only be enforcing published guidelines, if there are no guidelines you can't really blame the contributor.
Without asking the person, you have no idea what the reason was he placed those links there and only the openSUSE.org webmaster has the right to remove them (and the user, if need be)
You talk about rights. This is a wiki, and all text unless protected can be edited without permission from the original author. period. no further discussion necessary. This is agreed by the original author when they submitted their text. "Please note that all contributions to openSUSE may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors. If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly, then don't submit it here." Now it may be considered rude and break other social rules, but I or anybody else has the right to edit any text they want. I will agree and it is the point I have been trying to make, that communication is important, and people should be given the benefit of the doubt in regards to their intention. The wiki needs to be a friendly place, it is a big place, and lots of activity has no impact on the prupose of the wiki. If we all spent this time editing the wiki rather than talking about stuff, it would be the most constructive outcome.
