I can't cite this post because bitcointalk.org is blacklisted
IMO that's the worst part !
Must be the consequence of the ICO spam from 4-5 years ago... saw there were
2 requests made to remove it from the spam-blacklist in 2018 but were denied. pity ...
I just made a
request to whitelist the unofficial rules and FAQ thread.
My additions about the bitcointalk hacks were deleted because the citations (from coindesk and others) are not considered reliable sources.
I have no qualms about Coindesk in particular but given most bitcoin news is grossly inaccurate, it makes quite hard to find a reliable (by their standards) source.
Once upon a time I found several articles on Wikipedia, and due to inaccuracies tried to correct them.
I thought I succeeded in that but later the admin, a person with more authority, came and canceled my changes.
Wikipedia is very popular as a source of information and is often the first result on Google search engine.
Therefore, it is important that the information on Wikipedia is accurate, but on Wikipedia the problem is often not the facts itself but the interpretation of these facts, because of worldview and other reasons.
This is especially true of sensitive historical and political topics.
I hope you will succeed in your action but unfortunately in Wikipedia ordinary contributors do not have much power to change anything, only administrators.
If the administrators have a negative attitude towards crypto then it will be very difficult to change anything.
