Wiki Cruft

Who hijacks the Wiki like this?  Why is this here on an Arch Wiki?  I like Ubuntu/Kubunto as much as the next guy, but... just... why?

If you really think this is ok, then I have to ask: Where are the Fedora, Gentoo and Slackware Wiki pages?

In fact there's some free air-time for:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ubuntu
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Eubuntu
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kubuntu
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xubuntu

Can I get my stuff promoted on Arch Wiki, too?

Sorry for the severe sarchasm, but stuff like this really bugs me.  If folks are ok with this, then I'm ok, too, and will move on.

I agree... not only is that a blatant hijack, it's reproducing crap written in other wikis.  I would suggest switching those to external links to some about pages.

Re: Wiki Cruft

I am surprised. The user who did this apparently has countless contributions to the Arch Wiki (including Spam removal).
I still think it is nonsense to do such a thing.
