What is with all those self-published source? The best source of how bitcoin work is the project's documentation itself.

Those media reporters are liable to get the details wrong.

Yes self published is fine for completely uncontroversial technical details and opinions of the person self publishing. I have only tagged when the details fall outside of this. You cannot fill an article with self published information just because the article exists. It is best to just leave the stuff out. Remember it is wikipedia not the bitcoin tech page. For example "This mechanism is highly tamper-resistant." says who? Ah bitcoin.org hmmm. Wikipedia is really reliable hey. Smiley

article is back now.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin

thanks to everyone that took part Wink pat on our backs.

Congrats, there are a bunch of sections that still need sources. It can only get better. But better to be back in the database then left out because of an ego.

Umm reality check. It was left out because of lack of in depth coverage in independent reliable sources. I am sorry for the wikispeak but please don't delude yourself into thinking anyone had anything against Bitcoin. Wikipedia has very low standards for inclusion and Bitcoin did not meet those standards until recently.

Please stop your socking on wikipedia that is all I ask.  However, trade in all of the bitcoins in existance and you wouldn't be able to buy my uncle's house.

ROFL. You think we are secretly sockpuppetting accounts on wikipedia. That is paranoia, pure and simple.

If you EVER BROTHER to read the discussion here on the forum, you would realize that the founder of the community DO NOT LIKE being associated with wikileak. That shut down the discussion of getting wikileak to accept bitcoin donation. Of course, that was moot. The gossip mills spread too far from our control.

This. Is. Hilarious.

If you ever brother to write English properly you can lecture me on brothering to read a discussion.

It makes bitcoin notable enough to have an article and I have said as much on wikipedia. If I was still an admin I would have put it back in the mainspace already. It is fairly obvious that the bitcoin media scrum took advantage of the wikileaks story to get a one off article in the major newspapers. That makes it notable enough for a wikipedia article. Please stop your socking on wikipedia that is all I ask.  However, trade in all of the bitcoins in existance and you wouldn't be able to buy my uncle's house.

Actually a lot of people care about the non-commercial no profit organisation wikipedia and the free sharing of quality information. I think take the number of people who care about bitcoin and multiply it by 1000000 and you are in the right ball park. actually 10000000 or even 100000000 might be a more acurate order of magnitude.

Yes. That is fine. The pile on at wikipedia is not fine. Please understand that. Wikipedia is not there to promote your favourite e-currency.

An external discussion where you encourage each other to go and take action on wikipedia and then that happens is against wikipedia rules. No paranoia needed. And a discussion in which you call me an "ice-hole" meaning ass-hole is just amusing to me.
