Removing Factual Content from Presto Wikipedia article
Recently someone in the Wikipedia community has been repeatedly removing factual content from the Presto (SQL Query Engine) page. This includes reference to the Presto Software Foundation, references to the creators of Presto, and links to contributors to the project, and links to the Presto Software Foundation project page.
There is some disagreement among developers where the code contributions to Presto should go. Like many open source projects, there are many repos (also sometimes referred to as "forks") in GitHub. The two main active ones are: https://github.com/prestosql/presto https://github.com/prestodb/presto
At this point in the discussion, I don't think it's worth summarizing the history of the repos, show the data as to who mainly contributes to each repo, nor discuss which code is shared or borrowed from each active repo. This discussion is to point out that the factual pieces of the article on Presto is being removed repeatedly. It's been done several times such that it appears intentional. I believe factual content should remain in Wikipedia regardless of opinion on the project structure.
As a separate thread, we should discuss how to agree on content where it's important to know the differences between prestodb vs. prestosql. For example, currently links to both community sites are both listed which I think is fair. It is not fair to remove one in favor of the other. This has been repeatedly done and should stop.
I believe this can and should be resolved amicably and we should not resort to removing factual content that one does not like.
