I see your parallel wiith packages, but Wiki pages aren't packages. That page used to have no edit restriction, so I didn't suggest a patch - I "committed" my changes directly. If you want a parallel with software, you can consider that I committed a revision with no edit summary, which Sune literally reverted with a cryptic edit summary. So, I verified my changes, improved my version, committed it again with an edit summary, and Sune again reverted indiscriminately, with the same cryptic edit summary. There's nothing similar to a patch rejection here, so it wouldn't make sense for me to approach Sune on this topic.

Sune did initiate the page, but honestly, I consider his contributions to this page almost as trivial as mine. Even if you consider Sune as one of the page's maintainers, and you don't consider me as a maintainer, maintainers should behave in a civil manner.

I could have used better edit summaries. My changes improve presentation, and note that part of the page (regarding PackageKit) deserves expansion.

Since I currently can't edit the content page, I couldn't link to such a page.
P. S. Thanks for Cc-ing me, I'm not subscribed to the list.
