That post was deleted? I don't get why at all.
It's certainly calmer and tamer than my previous post. The only controversial thing about it is that it is more pointed toward Wikipedia deletionists. I can imagine that if there was a moderator here who is a deletionist on Wikipedia, they might get upset and delete it. Or maybe a deletionist on Wikipedia who cracked my password in order to delete it. This second scenario actually isn't too far fetched if the forum doesn't temporarily lock out accounts after a few failed login attempts. I've since updated my rather weak password so that it hopefully doesn't happen again. Unless it was a technical glitch or a moderator who will speak up, it very much reinforces my recently acquired vile opinion of Wikipedia deletionists. Of course so long as I can't prove anything, it's just my word against nobody or anybody or Wikipedia deletionists or I'm just overly paranoid or something. Undecided

Instead of wasting with them (they do frustrate me sometimes), why not create a new article at a more "friendly" place like
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Welcome_to_Citizendium

Quote
Citizendium is a wiki that seems to be a compromise between the free-for-all that is Wikipedia and the strict supervision that accompanies Scholarpedia. One of Wikipedia's founders, Larry Sanger, created Citizendium in the hopes of improving on Wikipedia's model. With what the site refers to as "gentle oversight", all articles are subject to approval by the site's editorial team. Articles that haven't been approved will have an accompanying disclaimer, which helps to prevent people from taking potentially false information to heart. Also, you must register under your real name to become a contributor, unlike Wikipedia. Although the site is still in beta form, it is quickly becoming a popular alternative to Wikipedia.

Totaly rediculous that this gets removed... almost makes me feel there's pressure from third parties...

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read "They want to delete the Wikipedia article" in 2016.

Under construction.

If you post in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Bitcoin please don't say "yeah, but bitcoin is really important and special so the rules shouldn't apply" or argue that the rule is dumb or unfair.  That only makes it worse.  Try to address how the rule is satisfied.

[... ] I hope it doesn't get deleted.  If it does, it'll be hard to overcome the presumption.  Institutional momentum is to stick with the last decision.  (edit: or at least I assume so, that's how the world usually works, but maybe Wiki is different)

Satoshi, please don’t be sad. 😿

The Wikipedia article on “Bitcoin” was deleted 30 July 2010, on grounds that Bitcoin was allegedly not “notable”.  The article was later undeleted on 12 December 2010.

Since then, your little invention has been taking over the world.  It has become so notable, so “important and special”, that those who feel threatened by its freedom needed to invent the POS meta-scam—and a massive lie-propaganda campaign to go with it.

It is true that institutional momentum is to stick with the last decision—or to repeat history in some fashion.  Wiki is no different.  If I may be so bold as to scandalize some of my friends by quoting a Communist:

Quote from: Karl Marx
Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice.  He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.

The deletion of the “Bitcoin” article was tragedy.  This is farce:

One might add that Wikipedia still DOES have a rather comprehensive and up-to-date page on Bitcoin... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin

There are definitely pressure from third parties to "remove" content that might disrupt the "Puppet Masters" agenda to rule the financial system. Here is a technology that are accepted as a currency in many countries... and you tell me that it is not noticeable?

It just shows you how much power these centralized platforms are having and how they want to shape the thoughts of people around the world. It is time for the "people" to rise up and to throw it in their face, so that it gets noticeable in the mainstream media.   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
