From reading this I could not find out what was going on.
From what I tried to understand, someone running a crowd funding campaign on a 'EOMA68' device denies he has any conflict of interest with writing a 'EOMA68' wikipedia page when there is $175k on the line.
Not that I'm a friend in any way on how 'Wikipedians' act.
Author said that if (s)he believed there was a legit conflict of interest, they would have declared it. They asked Wikipedia folks for clarification, after which the bureaucrats started some administrative process and proceeded to edit the page with incorrect facts.
FWIW, the EOMA68 crowd funding campaign is to create a open hardware laptop that can run entirely with free software, and all of the designs etc are open source and available to the public (afaik).
