Cryptocurrency notability essay

Help with an article?
I was wondering if someone could take a look at Privacy and blockchain. I've tagged the article as needing work, but my knowledge on the topic is pretty slim to almost nonexistent. Given that cryptocurrency articles are held under sanctions, I figured that this really needed attention from someone familiar with the topic.
What I'm predominantly concerned with is whether or not the topic is redundant to the existing article on blockchain and if it approaches the topic in a proper fashion. It doesn't have any glaring errors, although I can see the use of things like "as previously described" and "however". Can someone check this page out? Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:55, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
Hello, I’m an editor with IOHK, a blockchain developer, and have just joined Wikipedia to try to find out why anything to do with the company is being deleted. The issue has been raised with IOHK by various Wikipedia contributors who have tried to put up text about Cardano, IOHK and Ada, or links about IOHK. It has also been raised by academics working with IOHK because links to content on university websites have been deleted (see page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Philip_Wadler). Even a draft page about Cardano has been deleted. I have seen one contributor threatened with being blocked from Wikipedia for adding any more 'IOHK spam'.
I note that the account I set up to learn how to use Wikipedia and communicate these concerns has already been marked ‘Tag: Possible self promotion in userspace’.
The result is that I can only find one IOHK mention on public pages (for Cardano, in a graphic). Twenty or 30 coins and tokens are covered at the Cryptocurrency page, but there is no mention in the text of Ada or Cardano. Nor is either mentioned on the list of cryptocurrencies. Cardano is mentioned in a graphic showing the 10 biggest coins by market cap, but is the only one not listed in the text on the page.
The justification for this appears to come out of a general sanctions policy on editing blockchain and cryptocurrency pages. However, it seems to have been imposed on IOHK-related material far more than any other crypto content.
Not only do these sanctions leave a gap in the encyclopedia’s coverage, they give the impression that Wikipedia thinks IOHK - and the eminent computer scientists and legal academics working for the company – are involved in a scam.
I’m not sure how to go about this, but would it be possible to discuss establishing whether Cardano/Ada should be added to the above pages; whether a page about the currency should be sought; and whether academics’ biographies are allowed to mention they work for IOHK. I have also posted this at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Numismatics/Cryptocurrency_task_forceIOHKwriter (talk) 10:57, 23 January 2019 (UTC) IOHKwriter (talk) 19:55, 22 January 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by IOHKwriter (talk • contribs) 19:51, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Draft talk:Cardano (cryptocurrency platform). Џ15:28, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Џ: Thank you for responding. Can I say though that the explanation raises more questions than it answers (and I base this judgment on, among other things, 15 years' experience on the Financial Times where I was a senior journalist). - Is Cardano notable enough to have a page on Wikipedia?: clearly this is ultimately for Wikipedia to decide, but it does seem odd that Cardano/Ada does not have a page when all of the 30 coins/tokens on the list of cryptocurrencies page do. This looks like a gap in Wikipedia coverage. - Even the list of cryptocurrencies page does not list Cardano/Ada. This is even stranger given that it is shown at the top of the page in the graphic as a top 10 currency. I note that one of the comments on WP:Articles for deletion/Cardano (platform) votes to delete the Cardano page on the grounds that Ada had fallen out of the top 10; but never even being in this top 10 has not affected the notability of any other coin. - Finally, I can find no mention of IOHK, Ada or Cardano in any Wikipedia text (the graphic being the only mention). I have discovered in Talk pages that mentions of IOHK are being deleted within hours as 'IOHK spam' with no further discussion or explanation apart from it being a general sanction to do with blockchain problems. I have found no evidence of the sanction being employed in a similar way against any other blockchain developer. It would seem reasonable to me to: ask for Ada to be added to the list of cryptocurrencies; not automatically regard any mention of IOHK as 'spam'; ask for a Cardano page to be created. Thanks for considering thisIOHKwriter (talk) 17:10, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
- @IOHKwriter: "I have found no evidence of the sanction being employed in a similar way against any other blockchain developer." From the current top 10 WP:Articles for deletion/TRON (cryptocurrency) and WP:Articles for deletion/Bitcoin SV also don't have articles. Џ 21:13, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Џ: Although these are sanctions, they are not to the extent, or with anything like the speed, of the IOHK sanctions; Bitcoin SV is covered on other Bitcoin pages. I’ve done some research on a newspaper database (Factiva.com) to try to gain an unbiased assessment of ‘notability’ for Wikipedia’s list of cryptocurrencies page (where Cardano is not listed). A search on ‘[currency name] AND cryptocurrency’ across all dates for ‘major US news’ or ‘UK all sources’ removes the hype-driven crypto magazines. The result: 8 coins that you list received fewer than 10 mentions; Tron and Bitcoin SV, both of which you plan to delete, both get 27; there are then 4 coins below Cardano's 79 results; Neo gets 85; there are then 11 coins with <1000; Ethereum, Ripple and Litecoin get <3000 mentions; Bitcoin gets 10,949. The search is, obviously, biased against coins such as Bitconnect, Cardano, Kodakcoin and Petro that only came into existence within the past two years. This research suggests that Cardano should be in the list and have its own page because about half (14) of Wikipedia’s list of cryptocurrencies are less notable. Of course, there may be other reasons why a currency is notable, such as having one of the biggest capitalisations (which would, in fact, be an argument for including Ada/Cardano). From a qualitative viewpoint, I would suggest that the academic underpinning, functional programming strategy, proof-of-stake underpinning and market cap of Cardano would all render it more notable. I can send you the results if you want. Thank you again for engaging in this discussion.IOHKwriter (talk) 15:39, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
- WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTSis usually considered a failing argument at Wikipedia for keeping something - the usual answer is "so clean those up too". Rubbish littered about is a reason to clean up the rubbish, not add more rubbish.
- The rules of Wikipedia aren't a legalistic state machine for those promoting a business - such as yourself - to reverse-engineer the combination to. They're guides to the human judgement of those of us who - unlike you, who have said you're on a promotional mission - are here to write an encyclopedia - David Gerard (talk) 16:33, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
- That's a bit terse, sorry. To hopefully be a bit more helpful: Draft:Cardano (cryptocurrency platform)is alive and well and in progress. 100% of the problem is getting excellent third-party cites - not primary, not crypto blogs. You have to have cites good enough to convince people who are heartily sick of crypto spammers. This is an exceedingly high bar. Arguably an unfair one! Nevertheless - it is the bar we have. And that's the best advice I can give on how to pass it.
- That's a bit terse, sorry. To hopefully be a bit more helpful:
- I'd advise you as an IOHK person not to edit directly on the draft - but you should totally be on the talk page, submitting high-quality third-party WP:RSes. Watch out for Forbes "contributor" blogs though, they're a hazard - David Gerard (talk) 23:22, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

- @David Gerard: →1. Rubbish argument: I don’t think this applies. The development of blockchains is a landmark in digital technology. I’ve lived through and reported on the advent of microcomputers, email, mobile phones, wireless tech, ARM chips, the web, search engines and social media, and blockchains have the potential to be a game changer. Although there is much hype around cryptocurrencies, they have a role too. If the "so clean those up too" tactic was applied to blockchains and cryptocurrencies in the way it has been to IOHK/Ada/Cardano, there would only be a page left on bitcoin. →2. Rules of Wikipedia: I don't regard this as 'a promotional mission'. It started out as an investigation and has identified a hole in your coverage. I have chosen a name that makes my professional position totally clear for all to see. In learning the basics of Wikipedia, I have avoided editing any pages where there might be any conflict of interest. When I was asked to do this by IOHK, I thought it was paranoia. However, with my journalist hat on - and having worked at and written books for world-leading academic publishers - I can see that something has gone wrong in your coverage. Take a look at that list of cryptocurrencies page: compare the graphic with the text. It is clear something is missing. →3. I'm pleased to see the Cardano draft page has reappeared. Having had to handle letters pages and social media on national newspapers I can appreciate the spam problem. →4. Thanks for that tip. As I said above, there would be an obvious conflict if I started editing pages. I'll look to the Talk pages. IOHKwriter (talk) 18:55, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

Updates to Ethereum article
Hey all - I'm Alex with campaign consulting firm Kivvit. I'm looking to work with some editors to make basic updates to the Ethereum article. Full disclosure - this is on behalf of one of my clients, Parity Technologies. All COI has been disclosed per Wikipedia:Paid-contribution_disclosure. I've posted an edit request here, but so far editors have not updated the article. Because I'm here for Parity Technologies through Kivvit and have a financial conflict of interest, I'm keeping my activity on talk pages rather than directly edit the article.
Are there any editors here that would be willing to take a look at my request on the Ethereum talk page? AlexLewis13 (talk) 21:14, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
More eyes: crypto blogs as sourcing/notability
Cryptocurrency/blockchain article Solidity is largely sourced to crypto blogs and passing mentions in minor possibly-RSes. I tagged the bad sources, which is most of them. There is some discussion - a couple of editors want to use the crypto blogs as sourcing anyway, though we don't accept crypto blogs as RSes on any other cryptocurrency/blockchain articles after the discussion at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_251#RfC_on_use_of_CoinDesk. The current dicussion is at Talk:Solidity#Sourcing_is_not_good. More apposite opinions would be helpful. I was about to just clear the bad sources out of the article ... - David Gerard (talk) 09:15, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
A new newsletter directory is out!
A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

Help correcting mistakes about world's largest digital currency asset manager
Hi. There are various mistakes and omissions in the article about Digital Currency Group, specifically for Grayscale Investments, the largest digital currency asset manager in the world. I have endeavored to write with a NPOV and only include educational content. Since anything regarding crypto is somewhat controversial and requires careful independent consideration, I hope that someone from this project might do a review.

Is Sumcoin notable?
A new editor is trying to start a draft on this topic (editor's contributions).
If the topic is clearly non-notable he should be gently discouraged. If it is clearly notable, he could probably use some help. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 23:27, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
- Most cryptos aren't. Judging by CMC and the nature of cryptos (ie practically any notable launched crypto will have a > 1000 market cap & more than one exchange listing), I'd guess this isn't either. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 17:50, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
- @ProcrastinatingReader: Thanks. I've put comments on the two drafts, which are mostly blank. I've also invited his new editor to this WikiProject. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 18:26, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
Seeking latest guidelines on reliable sources
I am seeking clarification. I've been reading a lot about this project and following various links, but it's still not entirely clear to me. I have read the views of user:David_Gerard. Are CoinDesk and CoinTelegraph entirely banned as reliable sources, or can they be used with caution? Is it ok to use certain crypto news publications in an article if the article also uses other reliable sources from mainstream publications? Once a subject has been labeled as notable, can it then include CoinDesk and CoinTelegraph as sources? I just looked at Zcash and saw CoinDesk in the references. Should that reference be deleted? Thanks for the guidance. JournalismResearch (talk) 17:03, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
- CoinDesk is specifically listed in Reliable Source in Wikipedia terms, and should generally not be used as a reference. (As such, I just removed it from Zcash.) The rest of the crypto press are actually worse than CoinDesk - David Gerard (talk) 17:50, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks. I missed that note about CoinDesk in WP:RSP as "generally unreliable"? Is it really worse than CoinDesk? I am trying to do some research now. JournalismResearch (talk) 18:23, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks. I missed that note about CoinDesk in
- The discussion there talks about the crypto press. Basically, it looks like specialist trade press but is advertising for the publishers' holdings (the CoinDesk RSP entry talks about it, but it's common to basically all of them), and large chunks of it are blatantly pay-for-play. The general attitude is that if something in crypto/blockchain is actually notable, it'll be in the mainstream RSes - the finance press in particular covers this stuff much more since 2017. And there's peer-reviewed academic sources for technical stuff - David Gerard (talk) 19:32, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

- If the Forbes articles are contributor blogs, and if the Nasdaq pieces are crypto site reprints, it'll fail again. I have looked before and found zero coverage outside crypto sites and blogs. You will absolutely need proper mainstream RS coverage - David Gerard (talk) 20:01, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- David Gerard I just found some form of coverage in some books. I have added them and taken out the crypto blog posts and resubmitted. I hope that does it for now.--AlikotoSam (talk) 20:22, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- David Gerard Forbes, Nasdaq and WSJ all seem to be independently written to me. I did a background check on the writers and they are not paid-to-write contributors. I hope the draft is accepted this time.--AlikotoSam (talk) 20:25, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- I think you need to review WP:RSP. But basically - you don't like what you're being told, and you don't understand it, so you assume you can just keep going and it'll be fine. I see on the draft itself you were told the same things I just told you. You need to read, understand, and take the issues seriously if you don't want this article deleted immediately, because that's what will happen - David Gerard (talk) 21:48, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- David Gerard I have read and I am understanding gradually. It isn't the case of me not wanting to listen or adhere to what I am being told. I am learning as I work on this.

Thanks!--AlikotoSam (talk) 22:16, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- Generally speaking Decred and all other altcoins need to find notability in the mainstream press before they can come to wikipedia. Such as wsj, nyt, fortune, forbes, ft, etc. All these are talking about crypto these days. Journals and books (that in many cases are self-published) are not sufficient to demonstrate notability for inclusion in wp. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 11:27, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Project page
Hello members of WikiProject Cryptocurrency. I just want everyone to know that I made modifications to the main project page, but before I get into the details, I marked this WikiProject from being active to semi-active based on the daily editing activity of all the members. If anyone disagrees, feel free to revert. Now the project page I added a orange-like color format from the typical white page, and moved the article alert section from the very bottom to up-top above the members list so no one would miss out on any alerts. I also made a
Moved MakerDAO to Dai (cryptocurrency)
As the title says, I've renamed MakerDAO because Dai is more well-known and likely of more interest from an encyclopedic standpoint. Either name would probably work fine since the two are very closely related subjects, but titling the article as Dai (cryptocurrency) will probably make it easier for people searching for information. In any case, I'm sure much of the content won't end up focusing exclusively on MakerDAO as its developed.
Because of this name change there needs to be some copyediting and organization to reflect the new name. I actually ended up creating a new template to add as a notice for anyone that comes across the article to avoid confusion. I'll try to make some those changes soon.
Just wanted to let y'all know about this. If I shouldn't have renamed it for whatever reason, let me know. HiddenLemon // talk 08:23, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

The bottom line with me on this is when I look down this list of topics ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Cryptocurrencies ) I see a LOT of DLT (blockchain) networks and cryptocurrencies who have not been able to achieve an inkling of what Hedera Hashgraph has already achieved in bringing the Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) space mainstream, but yet I see NO mention of Hedera Hashgraph in Wikipedia at ALL.
When I search for Hedera Hashgraph in Wiki I see basically nothing. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=hedera+hashgraph&title=Special:Search&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&advancedSearch-current=%7B%7D&ns0=1 It almost looks like someone is intentionally against providing information on this topic.
Can someone please take this topic on and help improve the Hedera Hashgraph topic in Wiki, please help? Vicwd (talk) 14:53, 26 December 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vicwd (talk • contribs) 14:36, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Jerm. Thank you a lot for providing this. I have checked these sources, but can't find any good source that is not a press release. I have now added two independent sources (Investopedia and a monograph on practical utility of blockchains), which I estimate and hope satisfy the RS criteria. If you have any specific RS in mind, please let me know. The VeChain platform has been making great strides recently and this article will be needed sooner or later. --TadejM my talk 21:51, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

I made sure to only use legitimate secondary sources. I don't know if anyone got an alert about my draft in the Article Alerts section of our community page, because I see that some newer drafts have been reviewed ahead of mine. It's here: Draft:Celsius_(cryptocurrency_wallet). If any of you have the power to approve AfC, I would be delighted if I didn't have to wait months for another editor to stumble across it and publish it. Thank you.
