CentOS docs - Jan 2015 - Pull Request wiki.c.o/AdditionalResources/Repositories

Could someone please replace the contents of
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories
with the contents of
http://wiki.centos.org/PatrickDGarvey/AdditionalResources/Repositories ?

I believe I have removed as much of the link rot on that page as I am capable.
If someone believes the links I have provided are not appropriate for
the purposes of the article, please let me know. I'm still in the
process of learning and will be glad to share the improved knowledge
of any others.

Done. And assuming I have not made any mistake with the acl, you
should now be capable of editing that page directly.

After I logged on, the page displayed the Edit options. I was able to
make a bad edit, display a Preview, and Cancel that edit. I think that
indicates we have what we intended.

Thank you,

Patrick, looks fine to me. Thanks for the work -- when I did a major
revision I tried to remove some of the rot and got tired of trying, along
with refactoring the page in general. Your dedication is appreciated.

I dont understand the concept of community approved. What does that mean ?

That came in with TomSorensen 's "Large revamp" in revision 187.

The paragraph in that section isn't a sufficient explanation?

KB -- I made those changes several months ago (Sep/Oct I believe), with
discussion in IRC. This was after a spate of people in the main channel
having issues with Atomic (there's a name that's going to end up causing
problems...) and the continued use of RPMForge/RepoForge, with no
indication that they're really really bad. As well as the recognition of
the reality that there are a very few repos that are frequently recommended
(and, in the case of EPEL, now easily enabled in CentOS).

I don't believe I discussed it on this list, which is entirely my fault,
but there were some revisions afterwards by others in the community to help
do cleanup as well.
