Edit request[edit]

Thank you for notifying me of the edit request. I'll check back later to see if more users agree with the proposal, otherwise I hesitate to add the new section in since none of the people with recent edits to the page have chimed in. · Andonic ^contact 13:35, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Thank you!--Bitcoin (talk) 16:50, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome![edit]

Hello, Bitcoin, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Shirt58 (talk) 09:48, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I do not own any Bitcoins. I am not affiliated with any Bitcoin exchangers or development group. I will not have any difficulties in writing about a topic in a neutral and objective way.--Bitcoin (talk) 09:50, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

reading article history[edit]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Satoshi Nakamoto is correct. If you click on the history tab of Satoshi Nakamoto you'll see the history of edits. The article was deleted in June of 2011. The article that's there now was recreated yesterday (31 Oct 12) by Another John S (talk · contribs). Nobody Ent 11:56, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it might save you some aggravation if you post a notice at User:Bitcoin saying you are unaffiliated with the real-life Bitcoin. Nobody Ent 11:59, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Better yet, I strongly advise you to apply at WP:CHU to change your username. Wikipedia's WP:Username policy prohibits "Usernames that unambiguously consist of a name of a company, group, institution or product", an account with this name may well be blocked, and if you have no connection with any Bitcoin organization it is misleading and may cause suspicion.

Account blocked per WP:PRODNAME as user has declared retirement[edit]

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Bitcoin, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. JohnCD (talk) 13:50, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Room 77[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Room 77 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. MSJapan (talk) 19:24, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Room 77 for deletion[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Room 77 is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Room 77 until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. MSJapan (talk) 23:48, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
