My answer
This is wrong:

I see no reason for deletion or you _really_ have something against Ulteo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Getupstandup1 (talk • contribs) 10:58, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ulteo is notorious (look for the number of google entries)
 * my article was written from scratch (ie *not* a repost)


 * As per Deletion review/Log/2008 June 8, your re-write of the Ulteo article has been restored; see Articles for deletion/Ulteo (2nd nomination). — Athaenara  ✉  01:57, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Issue with page deletion:Ulteo
The following was posted on my talk page: It seems that you have deleted all the work I did to write a documented and Wikipedia-compliant article about Ulteo. If you think that Ulteo is not notorious, just look for it on Google and see the number of pages about it. If you think my post was a repost of the previous Ulteo page, you are wrong: it was written from scratch and took me hours to search for information and references. So please get the Ulteo page, I think there is no reason to delete it. Sorry if it's not the good place to discuss but I don't see any other way to get in touch.

I forwarded it here with my original reply. — Athaenara ✉  23:40, 5 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Getupstandup1, I agree with you that an Ulteo page is WP-worthy, especially considering that we have pages for other coLinux projects such as andLinux and Topologilinux. Many of the 'Delete' comments in Articles_for_deletion/Ulteo_(2nd_nomination) seem to be under the misguided impression that andLinux & Ulteo are 'J.A.L.D.' and don't seem to recognize the significance of these products (How many other products allow me to run Ubuntu applications alongside Windows, without requiring a little VM window?) and 'Keep' comments were pretty weak. Several of us tried to a complete rewrite of this article, but it was deleted again, partially because we didn't reference enough external sources. User:Tikiwont moved the article to User:Gigglesworth/Ulteo for now. Please feel free to edit. Maybe we can try again, with better external sources. Frankly, some of those editors seem to have some sort of bias against Ulteo, and I feel like the odds are stacked against us though. I'm not sure that I have enough time to own the article, and would be happy to move it to your userspace. -= Gigglesworth (talk) 19:44, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Gigglesworth...
I found it odd that Ulteo is deleted and locked as such. The reasons supporting deletion are dubious. When doing a search via Google for all wikipedia articles on Ulteo other languages, I found that these pages all exist AND without any dubious deletion requests.

This situation smacks of someone deliberately willfully changing history. Trying to make Ulteo a non-entity in Wikipedia so that there can be no proper direct reference to it, its history, its connection to Linux, virtualization, cloud computing, its use of Java, its use of VNC, connections to OpenOffice, and so on. With the deletion and lock in place, I cannot even include any of what i just said. At least I cannot in English. :(

In the English speaking world, the copy of Ulteo the page you authored that you keep in your User space might be the only evidence that it had ever existed before. Right now, yours is the only one returned in the English speaking world. I remember reading the proper page a while back.

From the talk page on the Ulteo deletion, it seemed it might have been decided by only a handful of people.

This is chilling. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.94.139.101 (talk) 09:01, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
