Request Information

 * Request made by: Chris Cunningham 14:01, 11 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?

The Advanced Packaging Tool article right now; was on GNU GRUB earlier but that's petered out. On 20 September 2006 it appears that it might have spread to Ubuntu (Linux distribution).


 * Who's involved?

Me and user:Chealer.


 * What's going on?

A childish revert war. We've reached a sort of consensus on the technical aspects, but minor changes are being reverted without justification. I've attempted to discuss this on his talk page to be greeted with derision. Arguments made are ignored. It's not an ideological revert, it's reverting a copy edit seemingly for the sake of causing irritation.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?

I'd prefer to be able to edit articles knowing they won't be reverted out of spite.


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?

Fine out here in the open.
