Please wequest an wiki account and start to edit. DOn't brag on it.

Goes the same, apply for some editing and don't brag.

Again, attacking Wiki won't help, you have anything smart to contribute 
contribute by editing it...

Not very much. But thanks for comments.

it is normal to have duplicated content, since OI is an distribution and 
illumos is more like 'core' system and kernel.

Your editing will surely be going through reviews, as Wiki is 
cooperative thing, so you won't be alone.
Just to mention, don't try to delete contents on Wiki, but to improve it.
Any deletion under pretend it is duplicated content can be seen as 
destructive.
