Some advices, especially from the Ubuntu community, on official

IMO at least

There are various cryptic shell incantations floating around help
sites and search engines that promise to remove older kernels.
Copy-and-paste mysterious incantations into your system at your own

should read
"Shell commands and scripts
There are help sites that help to remove older kernels, too. Before
you copy-and-paste or install scripts suggested by users of
official Ubuntu channels, send a request to this channel, to
ensure that you would do the right thing. Be even more careful with
hints from websites, that aren't monitored by the Ubuntu

"Send a request to this channel"! Which channel?
"To ensure that you would do the right thing"!
What on earth are you talking about? There are thousands of commands,
code snippets and scripts in the community help wiki. There is no
"channel", and there is no community or individuals within the community
who will validate the accuracy of such commands or code. Using at your
own risk is always implied.

If you disagree, feel free to revert to the previous version,
I don't think there is a need for that kind of qualification at an
individual page in the community help wiki, so I just removed the whole
section.
