Greetings,

I have been doing a lot of editing on the documentation wiki lately, a
couple of pages rewritten a lot of grammar, spelling, and formatting
type cleanup. Also I have occasionally been moving some pages from the
main wiki to the doc wiki as requested and listed here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CategoryDocumentation

I moved the page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AmateurRadio and it's
subpages and made proper redirects (
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AmateurRadio?action=diff&rev2=13&rev1=12 ).
These pages contain lists of Linux software available through Synaptic
related to Amateur Radio activities, were CategoryDocumentation and
clearly belong in the doc wiki.

Now I have been contacted via email by the original author of those
pages who is very upset at these actions. We emailed back and forth a
few times and I tried nicely to explain the collaborative nature of
wikis and the relevant information about the main wiki and doc wiki,
but he does not understand. The gist of it is contained in his recent
edit to the page:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AmateurRadio?action=recall&rev=17

Fearing a editing war or some sort of conflict, I am not touching
these pages anymore and leave it up to the admins.

Thanks
James Taji
