Deletion of Altap Salamander on Wikipedia

Post by Jan Rysavy »

The Altap Salamander entry on Wikipedia is marked for deletion.

If you are old "wikipedian" and you are using also other file mangers (not biased toward either side), could you please review the Altap Salamander article to be unbiased as much as possible?

It would be nice to keep this article about Salamander running.

I don't think we have to worry about the Salamander article being deleted, and if it is, it'll probably quickly restored.

Er besitzt einen ähnlichen Funktionsumfang wie der bekannte Total Commander.
"It offers a range of functions comparable to the well-known Total Commander"?

Is this really the best way to present such a capable program as Altap Salamander? What if readers don't know, or like, Total Commander?

This article needs a bit of revising, with 1 or 2 more introductory sentences explaining Salamanders look & feel (dual panes, customizable menus), plus a screenshot.

That feature list is informative, but too long to offer quick information at a glance.

Remember, most users decide withing the first few seconds whether or not they like a webpage, before they have read everything on it. First impressions count.
