Topic: Litecoin on Wikipedia: You guys need press coverage. - page 2. (Read 4602 times)
This needs to get done.
How is it we do not have a Litecoin dedicated page on Wikipedia with a BIG FAT COIN up there.
This is an important step towards wide LTC adoption. It is time to come out from under the shadow of big brother BTC.
I will help with some links -
The Economist Magazine - http://www.economist.com/news/finance-and-economics/21576149-even-if-it-crashes-bitcoin-may-make-dent-financial-world-mining-digital (comments on Litecoin as an alternative and partial clone - by NAME)
Computer World - http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9238328/Bitcoin_rival_Ripple_looks_to_make_waves (talk about Litecoin and Ripple as Bitcoin RIVALS)
Ars Technica - http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/04/hide-your-kids-hide-your-btc-bitcoin-stealing-malware-emerges/ (comment on MtGox plans to add Litecoin trading)
Daily Recknoning Australia - http://www.dailyreckoning.com.au/bitcoin-and-the-monetary-revolution-in-crypto-currencies/2013/04/12/ (Bitcoin is one of many Cryptos - LTC named again)
Someone here must be established as an Wikipedia editor.
There are enough links already in this thread to make it happen.
Lets do this - en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=litecoin - should NOT BE BLANK.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litecoin - a big empty hole of nothing.
After the recent run up to $6 - we should be able to find the news articles necessary to get Litecoin on Wikipedia permanently now.

I could arrange a theft of my 21 litecoins. Would that make some headlines?
Just have them mention how it proves that Litecoin is becoming valuable in addition to Bitcoin, as people are now stealing it. I live in Mexico, I could actually see how much it would cost to "buy" a reporter. Wouldn't be headline, but it'd be media.

Protip: Create a subsection on the Bitcoin page under "Forks" or "Projects based on Bitcoin" and expand it.
If it grows sufficiently large you can discuss a new article. Don't try to provide "press coverage" and try to stay objective, wikipedia mods can tell

silver to Bitcoin's [sic] gold
why does this phrase have the 'sic' qualifier? is the grammar incorrect?
Not that I see.
Code:
's
is possessive in English.

There is a wiki for Litecoin wiki.litecoin.net
Hmmm yeah surprised with the ever closing dates of first ASIC being released would have thought some of the BIG LTC investors would have spread the word on social media outlets, is this perhaps a sign of LTC speculative hoarders sitting on coins waiting for them to be worth more without actually doing anything positive for the currency?? or is it more a reflection that there are just sooo many outlets for information spreading that its hard to keep up with them all?
was LTC 1 year birthday to the other day, surely that would / could have generated some interest... ?
recent price rise to??
anyway do hope LTC does get some good publicity

Add it to the Do-To list. Thx for the heads up.
hmmm, not much can be found on twitter or fb either, kind of embarrassing.
"there's no such thing as bad publicity".

I put it in the incubator so all the work isn't lost. It's going to be deleted if we just leave it alone. This is how the Bitcoin article survived its first deletion.

If you don't get at least 3 or more media mentions for Litecoin, you're not staying on Wikipedia.
Fucking deletionist scum.
