(thought i posted this yesterday, but cant find it anymore)

Someone (AldoScalzi) has edited the community page on ubuntu's main site.

Handy those world editable pages.

(or is it a joke, and im just too slow?)

well if you log into the ubtuntu site you can add items to any page.
i have not gone tru it but the options is there. not sure if it will block you later,
but id presume if permissions was working the option wouldnt be there?

A wiki promotes a sense of community and open participation. It has been like that since day one. Only once was the front page defaced. They just clicked "undo" the next day.

Yes, im all for the wiki principal.

And fixing it is very easy, however someone in the admin group should do just that on the community front page.

the last two posts does not belong there.

an error occurs if you click on the one titled only with a date.

I remember when I created a wikipedia account last year, my own page got defaced very quickly.
however someone fixed it almost immidietly and before i realised. Which left me slightly confused who had done what. :)

Whom should I contact to get them removed?

You can submit some feedback (https://www.ubuntulinux.org/feedback). Just for the record, those pages do not form part of the Ubuntu Wiki, which as you say is editable by anyone. On the wiki, fairly frequently important pages get deleted, moved or inappropriately edited, but because of the number of people using the wiki this is usually corrected quickly.
