Anthere,

Are you contributor 82.161.154.210? That was chopped by another attendee who
is not a Wikinews regular.

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.
