In what sense is it inappropriate?
This is the wiki on postgresql.org. It is not and does not purport to
be a scientific journal. You're going to find some
advocacy/advertising/promotion up there, and I don't see anything
wrong with that.
You would obviously expect any page on mysql.com to have a bias toward
mysql, and likewise for microsoft.com and mssql, oracle.com and
Oracle, and so on. Why were you astonished by a page on
postgresql.org having a bias towards postgres?
Cheers,
BJ
