Topic: ...And Wikipedia declares it is real - page 2. (Read 4696 times)
Well it's on the inter-webs then it must be true right? NO GOD DAMNIT. And why are you people so obsess about Satoshi's real identity? Leave the guy/girl/group alone, they have done enough for the community. Will revealing the creator of Bitcoin do any good? I'm sure a couple of retards will blame things like the Gox incident or any other disasters in the system on him/her/them if we know who he/she is / they are so we're better off leaving this a mystery.
I guess this post needs to be included in Wikipedia as counter argument...

Wikipedia also claims Obama born in Hawaii, when we all know its really Kenya.
That being said, i think it really is Satoshi unless/until he publicly denies it.
Really? So if someone publicly announces you are insane, when in fact you're not, it's up to you to make public statement to deny it? What if he doen't care what idiots from newsweek say?That being said, i think it really is Satoshi unless/until he publicly denies it.
If he doesn't care, he doesn't care. But he might want to care because a lot of people will think he is Satoshi because the main stream media still influences public opinion (same reason people still believe Obama was born in Hawaii
) ...and if a lot of people think he's Satoshi, they'll try to get his coins, and it puts him and his family in danger. Well if everyone keep saying it then it must be real.
It is not real. It is never not real unless it isn't then it is kinda sorta.
I claim that this is not true, therefore I'm Satoshi.

Thats what Goebbels used to say. 
Oh you mean protect article 
. They won't full protect it (meaning only admins can edit) unless there is an edit war/vandalism between accounts that can edit through semi-protected pages... usually. And they won't semi-protect it unless there is lots of vandalism or edit wars.

And they won't semi-protect it unless there is lots of vandalism or edit wars.They will, however, aggressively enforce the Biographies of Living Persons [WP:BLP] policy on it. This is especially the case considering it involves disclosure of (potential) facts that would tend to bring down heat on someone who may not even be the person in question.
.Oh Man !!! Now they'll lock the topic
Too much of activity on a certain topic leads to lock topic. I experienced it after Laden's death.

Dorian S. Nakamoto
Though Nakamato's identity was a source of speculation since the launch of Bitcoin in 2008, an article in the news magazine Newsweek by Leah McGrath Goodman, published March 6, 2014, made the case that his true identity was Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto (born 1949), a Japanese American man living in California.

It is true that Newsweek made that case. It is not necessarily given that the case is correct. Wikipedia is just factually reporting, here.

The problem is the words "though" and "was". This would be factual:
Satoshi Nakamoto's identity has been an ongoing source of speculation since the launch of Bitcoin in 2008. An article in the news magazine Newsweek by Leah McGrath Goodman, published March 6, 2014, made the case that his true identity was Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto (born 1949), a Japanese American man living in California.
That's a clear example how you should treat information like this , even when coming from wikipedia.
