Hi Federico, Argh, I just saw your mail *after* I've just sent a mail to Jason to discuss the revert. Here's a copy of that for reference:
========================================= From: Steve McIntyre <93...@debian.org> To: Jason Mitchell <xxxxx@xxxx> Cc: w...@debian.org Date: Sat, 4 Sep 2021 21:57:55 +0100 Subject: Regarding changes in https://wiki.debian.org/SecureBoot Hi Jason! Apologies, I should have mailed earlier to discuss this. It's been a busy day and I got distracted elsewhere. I wrote the vast majority of the content in the SecureBoot page, and I'm a native speaker of en_GB so that's how I wrote it. I don't think we have a particular mandate/directive to use one dialect of English over any other in the (default) English namespace in the wiki, so I'm personally not very happy to see minor updates pushed that *only* make changes in wording/spelling for that reason. Hence I've reverted your change; I hope that's OK with you? I genuinely don't want to put you off contributing to the Debian wiki - like many places in Debian we're always short of volunteers doing useful work! I'd like to dissuade people from making minor changes that may just end up being replaced again in future edits. I'd much rather encourage people to work on more substantive things, at which point minor wording preferences are less of an issue. I hope that sounds reasonable - please let me know what you think? -- Steve McIntyre 93...@debian.org Debian wiki admin - wiki.debian.org w...@debian.org ========================================= ... ># <rant> >While I'd prefer to apply my energies on other tasks, such as continuing to >explore Debian and my scanner, or more importantly writing Mayor LaToya >Cantrell of New Orleans expressing the injustice of converting the 300+ year >Congo Square historical site into a multi-level automobile parking garage and >new Citi hall office building... this wiki.d.o incident strikes pretty close >to where I have been applying myself for a couple years now.</rant> I wasn't expecting to trigger a rant here, sorry. :-( I hope my mail above explains my position. ... >wear a mask and get vaccinated, +1000 -- Steve McIntyre 93...@debian.org Debian wiki admin - wiki.debian.org w...@debian.org
