Maybe somebody takes some time to make it right, although I don't know how Wiki decides what version is well intended and which is not.

I'm not an expert but this is what I have faced with Wikipedia-
There's one article on bitcoin in my local language (Bengali). The article was good enough of course without any doubt but good for a pro. For newbies, I would say it was hard as hell. I tried to edit the article with some good references. For unknown reason, the original author didn’t approve my edition. It seems that in wikipedia, topic starter has the power of attorney. He can deny any edition if he thinks it's not good. This is what I have observed but as I said I'm not 100% sure if there's something else too.

That's what I thought. Someone who knows a lot about the history of the forum could edit the article. Normally to take one version over another they rely on the sources you can provide.

Whoever have edited that article doesn’t know exactly. That's why they used the wrong info. You can create account and edit the article, see if they approve your edition.

Whoever edited that had the clear intention to discredit bitcointalk.
The most prominent reference is the overly inflated scandal for epochtalk costing too much and not being in use yet at bitcointalk. Also news[dot]bitcoin[dot]com is one of the references.
Nothing about satoshi, nothing about the current reality.

You have the exact history here:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BitcoinTalk
or here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/forum-moved-to-bitcointalkorg-33393

Indeed bitcointalk.org didn't exist prior to 2011, all the topics were moved here when the domain was registered.

As for the other things on that Wikipedia page...triple facepalm Lips sealed

Bitcointalk is a controversial
here is a demand for more privileges for older user accounts.
Traded accounts were reportedly used to scam people.
The same person "theymos" owns r/bitcoin on reddit which heavily criticized for censorship and personal attacks.

Half of that page is about theymos.

Here's the first thread of the forum- https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/welcome-to-the-new-bitcoin-forum-5
First 4 threads are off limit. I think they are some test post which has been off limited.

I just search about BitcoinTalk in wikipedia. It shows BitcoinTalk Launched in 2011 and registered in August 2011.
Heres I'm providing Wikipedia link along with a screenshot

BitcoinTalk On Wikipedia

But I found a topic made on BitcoinTalk Forum in Bitcoin Discussion sector which is created in January 01 ,2010
Here's the post Link - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/is-my-second-transaction-working-correctly-transfer-question-17 Created By AgoraMutual
Then why wikipedia showing it's date wrong or it needs to be updated?

I just get curious about it . Is it wrong or anything else
