Bitcointalk.org has been on the Wikipedia blacklist for a long time apparently due to altcoin related spam some years ago. We asked the wise Wikipedia mods for a single page exception which they've granted. The Satoshi quote in this page is now properly referenced:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Larimer#Interactions_with_Satoshi_Nakamoto

Here is the approved whitelisting request:

I'm not sure if there is much purpose in getting it whitelisted.

Bitcointalk content is easily available on google. Some articles on bitcointalk are better than those on wikipedia. Perhaps more effort needs to be made in indexing those good articles on here and making them more visible. (Which the merit system currently does).

An alternative reference for the quote could have been: https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/posts/bitcointalk/287/

Forum posts used as reference are easy to be abused. Anyone can post something, content is largely unmoderated and the content can be edited afterwards.

You could also archive the content and use the archive as a reference.

We are surrounded by legends on this forum. Phenomenal successes and catastrophic failures. Then there are the scams. This forum is a digital museum.

Is every BitcoinTalk.org link now whitelisted? Or only this specific post from satoshi?

It looks like it was only for that specific link.

I would predict that bitcointalk will quickly get blacklisted if it is ever whitelisted because Wikipedia pages will quickly be filled with what amounts to advertising spam from bitcointalk links.
