You've made a number of changes to this page yesterday, and it's good to see more interest in the OpenGL Wiki. However, a problem came to light when I looked at the various text and links you added. I came to realize that a lot of the text (including some added months ago) is copied directly from other sites. That's very likely a violation of those sites' copyrights, even though you attributed it by linking to it.

Adding copy-written text to this wiki from other sites is not a good idea. All of the copied text must be rewritten. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will have to revert the page to the 2012 version.

This also makes me concerned about the source of that image you uploaded. Is that copy-written as well? If so, it will have to be removed and/or replaced by an image you can donate. Or, at the very least, put a link to where it was found on the image page, so that their reuse policy can be examined.

On a lesser note, the styling of the text violates a lot of Wikipedia's manual of style. Particularly around your rather liberal use of line breaks. When you go back and fix the above problems, you should repair these as well. Alfonse (talk) 10:20, 12 September 2015 (EDT)
