Just assume -- hypothetically -- for one second that you, Felipe
Contreras, tried to create a user page on
http://subversion.tigris.org/wiki/ reading like this:

Felipe E. Contreras, a proud Git user.

only that the last link was to one of your blog posts and was not well
researched.
If you still think that such a completely unbiased and uncontroversial
user page was a good idea, well, you should take over the monitoring of
the Git Wiki, I guess, and make sure you remove all link spam. Actually, I
like that idea. Can you do that, please? Can you watch the recent changes
of the Git Wiki and keep it a place where information is king? Thank you
so much in advance!
Dscho: Thank you for the excellent job you _are_ doing keeping the spam
on the git wiki under control. Please continue.
Warthog9: Please take this as another vote to disable the user pages.
Everyone else: Most of this thread was/is well intentioned but there is
a significant problem with spam on high profile wiki sites (like ours)
and the information readily available (from what I've read on this
thread) to the _volunteer_ wiki admin slash spam fighter fit the pattern
of a spammer. If you believe that Johannes is not doing an acceptable
job policing the wiki _AND_ you are willing and able to do the job then
speak up with that information.
