Well, here is my feedback
After the conference, on irc, you asked me to not hesitate to improve
the article which existed at that time.
So, I went to the article, and fixed various sentences. I also added the
link to the place where the video could be downloaded.
My fixes were not huge, but I believe they represented better what
happened this day. I believe they were helpful and improving the article.
However, I made a "mistake" (apparently).
MY EDITS WERE ANONYMOUS !!!
So, they were reverted; The fact they were improving the article
apparently was a detail. The fact they were anonymous was not a detail.
It was considered vandalism since reverted with no explanation on the
talk page and no attempt to discuss with the anon ip and not even a
comment in the comment box.
Saying that I am disappointed by this would be an understatement. My
small improvement to your (otherwise appreciated) article is for me a
statement of failure.
