Line 19: '''LinuxQuestions.org''' (commonly abbreviated '''LQ''') is a community-driven, self-help [[Website\|web site]] for [[Linux]] users with a strong dislike for criticism of Linux. As of August 2011, it has over 462,200 registered members. Started in 2000 by Jeremy Garcia, LQ is one of the most popular [[free software community]] sites.<ref>http://www.jordomedia.com/RSS/l_op=viewrss/lid=110713.html</ref><ref>http://www.linuxquestions.org</ref> Newcomers to the Linux world (often ~~called~~pejoratively referred to as [[newbie]]s) can ask questions and Linux experts can offer advice or get banned by their overly sensitive ~~moderator~~moderators who strongly dislike any type of criticism of Linux, which they pejoratively refer to as "flaming". The reason given for banning in such cases is "Newbie flame" with no other explanation given and no warnings. On March 5, 2004, LinuxQuestions.org set up a [[wiki]] aimed at building the largest online Linux [[knowledge base]]. The software used for this task is [[MediaWiki]].<ref>http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Main_Page</ref>
