Yes, I bet there is a desire by  all corporations  to control community activity, but that is absolutely not the wiki way. This wiki has nothing to do with you in a corporate sense, it's a community wiki and not a BeagleBoard.org wiki. You have hijacked for purposes of company control something that you have no inherent right to control as a company.

And yes, you did force an effective redirect, because you renamed "BeagleBone" to "BeagleBone Community" and BeagleBone now points to your master portal page. And it sticks out like a sore thumb, because the portal page isn't even about BeagleBone --- it should be renamed "BeagleBone Sites". Wiki pages names describe objects, and your portal does not.

I have not reverted because I don't want war, but what you have done is totally out of step with the wiki meme, a company grab of a community page name and assertion of domain over it. Morgaine (talk) 14:54, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
