Let's stop removing factual content from the 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. Mattsfuller Mattsfuller (talk) 03:57, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
Mattsfuller please remember to sign your posts on the talk page.
The article should link to both instances of the databases equally and it should correctly document that PrestoSQL is a fork of PrestoDB. It shouldn't try and present any Presto implementation as the one true implementation. Does this sound reasonable to you? What do you think of my suggestions in the other section?
Can you give a reason for why any of the above should not be documented in the article? What isn't factual or relevant? Adweisbe (talk) 23:22, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
Documenting PrestoSQL and PrestoDB
I want to to start a discussion on how to document PrestoDB and PrestoSQL. Mattsfuller, Findepi, Electrum. It seems to me like we should include information about both and how they split into separate software projects. Because they are separate projects I think we want to link to separate pages for each project and only put information common to both here.
PrestoSQL is a fork of PrestoDB. Presto came into this world as PrestoDB and PrestoDB is still around. It wasn't renamed to PrestoSQL. Trying to make it look like PrestoDB is not around anymore doesn't reflect the reality that there are two active Presto projects and that one is a fork of the other. This is the objective truth supported by various citable sources (blog posts, articles, commit history for both projects).
WRT to the Website link at the top right. How about we link to both?
WRT to the latest release version. How about we remove that entirely? Adweisbe (talk) 20:06, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
