He made an edit. And I don't know why he informed the mailing list, but it
certainly shows that he wasn't trying to be sneaky or hide anything. Surely
he informed the mailing list knowing full well that if the community
disagrees with his edit they will reverse it.
This very odd debate about whether I have the right to remove an item
from a list on the wiki strikes me as a sideshow. The fact that ti's
happening at all suggests to me that there are a lot of editors who
have deliberately and knowingly disenfranchised themselves by
abrogating the right to edit the wiki, and expect others to follow
the.
Anthony is right, of course. I removed an item from the list, and
posted on the talk page of the article, and on this mailing list,
signalling my alarm that the item, in its present state, had been on
the list in the first place.
This is how things are supposed to happen. It's why we call it a wiki.
It's said to be a Hawaian word meaning "quick".
