ELRepo wiki -- done. (http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-ntfs).

CentOS wiki -- doesn't appear to need any modification
(http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/NTFS) apart from, perhaps, a
little tidying up now that 5.4 is released. (An excessive &
potentially confusing use of "Note"s . . . )

As I am currently suffering an intermittent Internet connection
droppage, I am loath to attempt any extensive wiki editing. Perhaps
the Original Author of that page would care to reconsider its
structure?

Alan.
