Why can't I edit the Open Session In View wiki page? Frankly I think the code in http://www.hibernate.org/43.html?cmd=co ... stnode=258 is easier for newbies, and doesn't open a hibernate transaction on every single request (dumb).

You are free to create a new Wiki page with whatever code you like best.

That seems very unwiki.

Is there some history of edit wars on that page? Why is that one locked?

It is locked because the author decided to lock it. You can open your own page and, if you decide that the content is important in its unmodified form, lock it. This is a _feature_.

I don't know which history you are referring to, the complete history of a page is available already.

I'm a little puzzled this "the author" you are speaking of. If I wanted to be a dork I could argue that, as one of the principal authors of the page that was replaced with the current content, I did have "my own page" - it was hijacked and then locked down by someone else.

But I wouldn't make that claim, because it isn't the Wiki Way. It's supposed to be the "Wiki Community Area" right? I'm not so proud as to think that any contribution of mine couldn't be improved. Clearly, in many ways it has. But why do you think the new content is impeccable?

I'm not trying to be an ass - if I wanted to do that, I could have already added a new page and replaced the link from the main page. I'm just baffled at this wholly unwiki-like "feature". Usually pages in wikis are locked by administrators solely to halt edit wars.
