Blockchain and cryptocurrency related articles are under special measures

Please read this notification carefully, it contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Do not perpetuate the Bitcoin/Bitcoin Cash feud in Wikipedia otherwise you will be topic banned without further warning. MER-C 08:17, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Creating new entries

Hi there, wanted to offer a bit of advice to respond to your comment here. One thing to know is that WP policy on reuse of copyrighted content is pretty strict: if a new entry is principally based on such material without evidence of proper licensing, it will be immediately deleted per CSD G12; any such material added to an existing entry will also be deleted. So in short, just never lift material from copyrighted sources unless you are quoting them, then only sparingly.

In terms of developing entries in your own words, but which you haven't had time to add sources to: I'd recommend creating drafts via Wikipedia:Article_wizard. That way you can take as much time as you like to add all the sources necessary to establish the topic's WP:Notability, and then submit the draft for another editor to check over; if it has any remaining issues, the reviewer will let you know so you may fix them before it goes to mainspace, where certain kinds of issues may result in swift deletion. (Full disclosure: sometimes a reviewer will still accidentally overlook a problem and deletion may still happen, but a second set of eyes goes a long way.)

Hope that helps for next time! To be clear, if Bcash is deleted through in the current AfD, you should not recreate it (even through Article Wizard) until the issues raised at AfD can be addressed (e.g. if new sources emerge). Recreating deleted entries can be considered disruptive and lead to blocks, so I want to be sure I don't lead you astray in this regard--going through Article Wizard won't change whether or not an entry is notable, only new evidence of meeting notability criteria can do that. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions about this, I know it can be a lot to sort out. Happy editing! Innisfree987 (talk) 01:14, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

More bcash edits

Hi, you made this edit [1] to the Bitcoin Cash article in reference to the alt-name bcash and MER-C (talk · contribs) has already warned you above about this. You need to provide WP:RS to substantiate this pejorative claim. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 12:53, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are topic banned from cryptocurrency related articles

For the reasons above, and for your motivation for editing being to perpetuate the Bitcoin Cash dispute (see Wikipedia:Tendentious editing), you are now indefinitely topic banned from all pages related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, broadly construed. Your editing privileges will be temporarily revoked if you edit in these areas. This restriction has been placed with the authority of the community, per Wikipedia:General sanctions/Blockchain and cryptocurrencies, and has been logged at that page.
