Hi. You seem to have deleted quite enough of the technical information of bitcoin with this edit. Although there was considerable repetition within the 2 sections (basis & technical),i would suggest re-merge both sections into a single one, maintaining all their subsection titles, since they provided a helpful overview of the project.

Feel free to make those changes yourself. My apologies for using more of a broad sword than a scalpel with that edit, but I just didn't see the need for a basis section. Isn't that what the intro section at the top of the article is for?

Hi and welcome to Libertarianism. The article has a fraught history, and at times difficult talk page. In particular we value high quality reliable sourcing. Infoshop's Anarchist FAQ has repeatedly failed Reliable Sourcing criteria due to its lack of editorial review. You might consider using Colin Ward's magisterial Anarchism instead, or the ABC-CLIO academic Encyclopedia of Anarchism. Tasks also available include the removal of content cited against dubious and unreliable sources (most of which are commented as such inside the article.

According to wikipedia's policies of Verifiability, and NPOV, a clear case has been made of two points:

• That political parties calling themselves "Libertarian" exist which support capitalism
• That think-tanks exist calling themselves "Anarchist" which support extreme neo-liberal capitalist agendas.

Whether these groups are "correct" in doing so lies outside of Wikipedia's scope; and, criticism of these views should be sourced to Reliable, and preferably High Quality (ie: scholarly or magisterial) Reliable Sources. In the past twelve months the article has suffered from repeated attempts to exclude "left"-wing pro-capitalist libertarians (think Georgists and other anti-"rent" economists), and, in particular, to exclude all kinds of libertarian socialism from the article. These attempts greatly disrupted the article, and, were in the whole not based on sources at all, and where based on sources, based on unreliable or low quality reliable sources. At this point in time, where the article is in a positive position of inclusionism on the basis of high quality reliable sources, exclusionist behaviour based on low quality reliable sources or unreliable sources isn't needed. You could, however, expand or correct left-libertarian, and libertarian socialist, elements of the article based on high quality reliable sources. In particular the revolutionary elements of the IInd internationale, and subsequent revolutionary social democrats with libertarian leanings (sections of the PSI, Austrian SP, Hungarian SP in the 30-50s), and other non-anarchist libertarians (Fabians, autonomists, councilists, Left SRs, etc) are undersourced.

"Infoshop's Anarchist FAQ has repeatedly failed Reliable Sourcing criteria due to its lack of editorial review." What about AK Press's printed edition?

Thanks for the link, I'd suggest taking it to WP:RS/N, Wikipedia's clearing house for reliable sources. I don't feel I can offer a definitive opinion because of a partial conflict of interest (in favour of the text as published by AK). However, within that, it looks reliable to me because:

• AK Press displays editorial oversight, "Decisions at AK Press are made collectively, from what we publish, to what we distribute and how we structure our labor." per About AK Press

But, treat the work as a work of opinion, not of scholastic fact. "According to Foo, ...". Glad he finally got around to publishing that in a reviewed form. Remember when citing, that you can only cite the AK Press edition, the Infoshop edition hasn't been subject to editorial review. (A similar issue has repeatedly come up with the right-winger's use of materials, RS in one press, Unreliable in another).

Hi L3lackEyedAngels. Thank you for your work on patrolling new pages and tagging for speedy deletion. I'm just letting you know that I declined your deletion request for [[:WP:CSD]], a page that you tagged for speedy deletion, because the criterion you used or the reason you gave does not cover this kind of page. Please take a moment to look at the suggested tasks for patrollers and review the criteria for speedy deletion. Particularly, the section covering non-criteria. Such pages are best tagged with proposed deletion, proposed deletion for biographies of living persons, or sent to the appropriate deletion discussion. Looked unintentional, please be more careful.

Hello. As a participant in Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion article titles, you may wish to register an opinion on its followup RFC, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion advocacy movement coverage, which is now in its community feedback phase. Please note that WP:RFC/AAMC is not simply a repeat of WP:RFC/AAT, and is attempting to achieve better results by asking a more narrowly-focused, policy-based question of the community. Assumptions based on the previous RFC should be discarded before participation, particularly the assumption that Wikipedia has or inherently needs to have articles covering generalized perspective on each side of abortion advocacy, and that what we are trying to do is come up with labels for that. Thanks! —chaos5023 20:30, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi L3lackEyedAngels,

The Bitcoin article contains a reference to Satoshi's original Bitcoin whitepaper, dated to May 24 2009. However, this paper was in fact published on Nov 1 2008. I traced this reference and found that the introduction of the erroneous 5.24.2009 date was in this edit of yours.

For curiosity's sake, can you say where did this date come from?
