I believe another paragraph on motivation needs to be added for a minor reason. One significant trend in the hacking community is not necessarily to gain appreciation from fellow hackers for the skill, but to test limits for the sake of curiosity. There have been many cases prosecutored recently in the United States that shows curiosity was the primary motivation. I believe this needs to be reflected.

Change the first image from:

] at ] 2011|alt=see caption]]

To:

]

Why:

• The proposed image better shows people actually doing hacking.
• It also avoids any confusion about the ethics or legality of hacking by avoiding the term jailbreaking.
• It contains descriptive alt text.

Hackers & Painters

Hackers are both people who circumventing controls and and people who building things in creative or unorthodox ways. At different times and in different contexts either definition can be more predominant. Should this article be rewritten to present a more balanced description of hackers, with appropriate citations of course? -- 71.227.138.128 (talk) 16:45, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

|To disabuse Hacker

being an etymology article, instead of a bunch of buzzwords such as VPN or whether it's authorized by government, or which should be separate articles of 'cracking' not 'hacking' but it was reverted.

Seems any reversion should include whatever the reviewer is 'feeling', and some type of appeal mechanism. And as far as mechanisms, that citations automatically refer to other Misplaced Pages, told on English help chat that would be self-referring that the producers' programmers of Misplaced Pages are wrong?!!

Is it that you writers don't want to be automatically called criminals as computer programmers seem to be by the offensive article? Then my revisions should be considered as disabusing. Here's a hint, capable ready people aren't going to help if having to go through months of attempting to correct something, we'll simply stop donating.

I did make three revisions, to review. Despite modern 'feelings' it's better to be called a cheap horse working tirelessly, that to be congratulated as a criminal simply because we happen to write. The article is personally offensive.

Perhaps a better infrastructure, where the reviewers ideas are reviewed by a larger voting panel? Up votes or down votes like Stack Exchange? What I just experienced of reviewers saying every wiki article is wrong and can't be referenced as 'service'.. insane.

Take the 'new' reference, a DARPA tech-transfer officer from Army ComSec, it's not a legal/illegal term, it's a methodology, hack, hammer build, versus crack, fool, scam, break. The Crackers talk about/follow/troll about Hackers, Security talks about Hackers. they are not synonyms. Sometimes it looks like instead of reviewers got some confused crackers, attacking the principles of the created site. One does wonder if they come from a disinformation campaign. "Crackers" predates Alan Turing and WWII, goes back to encryption, not a "Response to Media", please deliver contributors from those who think it's all response to mass media (those hacks).
