Topic: Why is reference to "bitcointalk.org" triggering a filter in Wikipedia? - page 2. (Read 422 times)

Bitcointalk.org is banned WITHIN Wikipedia. If you try to add a link to the forum as reference when editing any article a message will pop-up saying it's banned. I'll add an image to the OP to make it more clear.

First, wikipedia is not a trusted source for reference coz anyone can edit information so don't take wiki information too seriously.
2nd, we are well off without wiki, wiki is for old school pops
Update:
Click here, if unable to see image
I like it by the way @hilariousetc
It's a round figure

What were you trying to edit? Maybe web discussion forums aren't counted valid sources? Anyone could edit their post at any time. I would take it up with wikipedia if you find it unreasonable.

It seems as though bitcointalk is banned in wikipedia. Why is that?
It can't be added as a reference or otherwise linked. Edits with that won't go through.
Bitcointalk is a forum where significant announcements were made. Having it banned in wikipedia is quite unreasonable.
I believe that we should do something to change that. Anyone here with knowledge over how Wikipedia works that could provide advice on if there's something to be done?
