Wikipedia Entry on Caddyserver Vandalized
- NoZebra120vClip 3y ago"Vandalism" is a strong accusation to make, when there is a specific definition of that activity on Wikipedia, and a lot of ignorant people sling it around as a weapon. It's interesting that someone with a username matching the founder/author "rewrote" the article in September 2021, removing some maintenance tags, and relying on a whole bunch of crap sources, self-published stuff from Caddy itself, GitHub, blogs, etc. That sort of sourcing is not what you build an article on, and it's only reliable for narrow claims. Meanwhile, on the talk pages, "Mwholt" stridently denied any conflict of interest or paid editing - "That's not how F/OSS works" - taking the opportunity to make thinly-veiled accusations of bias against editors who came to discuss the Caddy article issue. I can't say that the rewrite has any better sourcing; it's still reliant on GitHub and caddyserver.com, so it's founded on shifting sands of self-published claims, but now it is rightly tagged for that, and as an advertisement, and significant editing by someone with a COI. So it is good that this will draw some more scrutiny and hopefully disinterested editors can do some cleanup.
