Both of those might be true for a given value of “credible”…

Also I don’t want us to be accused for a co-ordinated flame war against this admin though he does appear to have stepped out of line. Remember this conversation is public and being indexed by Google.
[/quote]Chris, I cannot lead this. We need to find someone else. My Wikipedia reputation is quite poor. I never concentrated on English Wikipedia. As for the admin, he definitely stepped out of the line, and his admission to the obvious does nothing to remedy his wrongdoing.

Put this as a source. Its from a major news organization and clearly mentions feathercoin as a bitcoin alternative with faster confirmations and a 5mil market cap. [url=http://finance.fortune.cnn.com/2013/12/24/bitcoin-altcoin-cryptocurrency/]http://finance.fortune.cnn.com/2013/12/24/bitcoin-altcoin-cryptocurrency/[/url]
Also, for anyone who is new to the forum. This is at least the third consideration for deletion and the second time that the feathercoin wiki has actually been deleted. We have been having this problem since last summer. Feathercoin has been under attack by people who hold other cryptocurrencies. These are the same people who decried feathercoin as a “pump and dump scam” and predicted that it would fail right after launch. Anyone who has followed the feathercoin bashing threads on the litecoin forum can see that the main critics seem to be litecoin holders and developers (Warren). The fact that they continue to attack feathercoin in the midst of all the other scrypt coins, speaks volumes about their state of mind. These people feel threatened by feathercoin’s continued success both as a community and in the market. The best response is to continue to be the active and vibrant community that we are. ;D
I dont have much experience with wiki page edits but I would encourage everyone who does to fight to get the page back up. The first thing a lot of people do when they research is go to wiki and as a top coin we should fight to keep our wiki page.
[/quote]+1Rep For a good and poitive reply. We will fight them on the beachers…W.C. Backbone is needed sometimes or you loose it. >:(

The fact you can now purchase them officially in the UK. I think Bush or Chris should write to them to officially ask what the problems are.
Then see if we can find someone else from wiki who is a feathercoin member, or some such, to cure the problem.
I can understand the opposition from wiki if they dealt with earlier staff, for instance…

Very nice!
No idea.

I’m creating a Chinese version of Wikipedia.

[/quote]No I don’t think so.

Why not?
That appears to be factually accurate and contains pertinent details, in a format that is compliment with Wiki’s requirements? The name and some functions differ as in Bitcoin Litecoin…
If we had a cut down accurate one (Wiki Page draft) there would be no excuse to delete it, and we can work from there to make it better…

Dogecoin has a wiki but we dont :/

[/quote]They also got mainstream press on launch. It’s good to have connections.

[/quote]That’s a good idea. Some things will need changing, we are probably still not quite going to meet their need for mainstream press attention more than a passing mention though.

Cryptsy has started an own Wiki project based upon the WikiDot engine. [url=http://wiki.cryptsy.com/ftc]Feathercoin[/url] also has a page there. The [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:WSF/Feathercoin]deleted Wikipedia page[/url] has been saved to my user space per my request. You cannot simply copy & paste it because Wikipedia and WikiDot use different language tags for page source, but someone should be able to handle it as I’m out of time.
Just in case, here is a page on [url=http://wiki.cryptsy.com/pxc]Phoenixcoin[/url] I’ve created earlier today.

[/quote]Thanks so much. I think we might be the most attacked coin out there, we are certainly catching up with Bitcoin.
