Linux kernel - leader

I've just read what you wrote in your user page. I appreciate your mission and I thank you for your interest in improving English Wikipedia by raising its standards. Notwithstanding this, I had to (AGF) revert your latest edit, because while you fixed it you also removed some important information. According to xtools, I've written about the 40% of that article where I have made 248 edits and many more are to come, but, unfortunately, English is not my native language and often I make grammar and syntactic errors. Please be patient. I'd appreciate that you keep on correcting errors in the Linux kernel article, but please also take some time for discussing removal of information in its talk page before acting. Thanks a lot for your time. Fabio Maria De Francesco (talk) 04:37, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I did not remove any important information. I do not appreciate my hard work being reverted in its entirety, especially by someone who is clearly a far from fluent speaker of English. What you restored was seriously substandard. You should not have done that. Ria cara (talk) 17:51, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"I did not remove any important information". I disagree with you.

The capability of the Linux source code to be tailored for different device architectures and many usage scenarios is one of the main difference between it and most other operating system kernels (e.g., Windows, MacOS, and Solaris operating system kernels). The same is true for runtime fine-tuning.

According to MOS:LEAD, the three to four paragraph limit is just a rule of thumb. Until you demonstrate that the above fundamental pillar of the freedom and the flexibility you get in using the pre-compilation and runtime configuration capabilities of the Linux kernel is not important enough to deserve its space in the lead, I'll restore every attempt to remove the above mentioned information.

Please don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean to be rude to you. I share your commitment to a better Wikipedia and I absolutely appreciate much of your work on the Linux kernel article. I understand you don't like reverts of your hard work, but please don't forget that this work is harder for me as a non native English writer. Since your commitment is raising Wikipedia standards, I ask you to help with fixing inevitable grammatical and syntactical errors I might make while editing that article. I saw that you already worked well on them, so I thank you for your other edits. Best regards, Fabio Maria De Francesco (talk) 23:45, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
