Dear Ubuntu Documentation:

I am contacting you on a sidebar with Adam (CC'ed
ojordan12345 at hotmail.co.uk ) to request an immediate revert to # 314
for https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx . This
is requested as Adam and I have been working together to simplify and
expand upon the Broadcom WiFi chipset article for both new and
experienced users who troubleshoot their Broadcom WiFi chipsets.

However, revision # 315 completely decimated this effort. Instead of a
"preserve prior helpful information, add new information, and clarify
existing information" type of revision, as one would expect, revision
315 is a "remove vital and current information, as well as change
wording and presentation unnecessarily".

As well, revision # 316 removed (same editor as 315) non-EOL
testimonials (ex. 8.04 server is still supported). While one could
make the argument that the page was too long including them,
ultimately, the information may have value for those using 8.04
server.

I would have done this myself but I do not have the permissions. As
well, what I have permissions to do, going through the revision diff,
and trying to piecemeal unconvert would be time consuming and wasteful
instead of just a complete revert.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter and I look
forward to the page being immediately reverted to # 314.
