Is DWM desktop Window Manager?
Just imagine how much space they'd save if they deleted non-"notable"
information off wikipedia. While there is a lot of useful information
there is a lot that isn't useful.
The whole needs third-party references push seems completely wrong to me
too. For objective statements primary sources would seem to be the best
place to get information.
