For the dear love of God.

Just assume -- hypothetically -- for one second that you, Felipe Contreras, tried to create a user page on http://subversion.tigris.org/wiki/ reading like this:

-- snip -- Felipe E. Contreras, a proud Git user.

* [http://felipec.wordpress.com/ Felipe Contreras]
** [http://felipec.wordpress.com/tag/git/ Keep an open mind]
** [http://whygitisbetterthanx.com/ Git is better]
-- snap --

only that the last link was to one of your blog posts and was not well researched.

If you still think that such a completely unbiased and uncontroversial user page was a good idea, well, you should take over the monitoring of the Git Wiki, I guess, and make sure you remove all link spam. Actually, I like that idea. Can you do that, please? Can you watch the recent changes of the Git Wiki and keep it a place where information is king? Thank you so much in advance!
