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.
