Tata Nano
You have undone eight months of changes with the simple comment of "restore" on Tata Nano - . I assume this was a simple mistake rather than an extreme case of page ownership! Feel free to reply here if I have misunderstood. - Ttwaring (talk) 21:41, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
August 2013
Constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Tata Nano has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Thank you. Note that this edit of yours is nothing short of SNEAKY VANDALISM. Do this again and you'll find yourself back on the chopping board of ANI, which I've warned you sometime back.

Lavasa
Hello. I have reverted your latest edit to Lavasa since it is both unsourced and unverifiable. Misplaced Pages is not a place for pure speculations such as "Surrounding villages are thought likely to spring up organically around Lavasa and cater to the needs of city residents. Some have been the focus of CSR efforts." or "As of 2013, a graduate-level certificate in accounting is planned to be later offered by an educational institution inside the city proper" (see WP:CRYSTAL). Phrases like that might be at home in a promotional brochure or something, but they most definitely do not fit in here. So any further attempt from you (or anyone else) to introduce speculations and/or unsourced content will be reverted at sight, with whatever warnings that might be appropriate. Thomas.W 17:46, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
My talk page
I would would like to know
- A) Why you dumped 40K of text there, and
- B) Why you seem to have tried to remove my comment about your recently somewhat strange editing behaviour, particularly on Lavasa.
I'm looking forward to your answers. Thomas.W 19:12, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
- No, I apologize for the massive attack of text. I should have placed it in my sandbox, but it's full of preferential voting stuff. So I can't. Won't happen again, and I would appreciate it if someone would help look after the pages I often edit as I have no systematic method of reference gathering; it's just a jumble of easily accessible sources pinned together with thin prose. Fleetham (talk) 17:47, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
- You can have more than one sandbox-page, just name them sandbox1, sandbox2, sandbox3 etc. And I'm still waiting for an answer to the second question... Thomas.W 17:54, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
- Okay, I do know of subpages beyond sandboxes like the ones about the Indian children. IDK why I tried to remove something nor remember the question itself. Fleetham (talk) 18:02, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

How to link to an earlier version of an article
Don't post a copy of the previous section on User talk:Thomas.W. Don't post two versions of an entire article on his page either, or on anybody else's user talkpage. It's not good to bloat up a user talkpage in that manner (and even the page table of contents!), and not necessary. If the long texts, footnotes and all, which you posted on Thomas are versions of Lavasa as edited by you, then I suggest you simply link to those versions and ask Thomas about them. The way to link to a selected version of the article is to go to the article's history, look at the chronological list of edits you see there, and click on the time and date of the version you want to discuss. The URL of the page you are now on is the link you want. Post it to Thomas. For instance, the URL of the article version you edited last looks like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Lavasa&oldid=572913895. Hope this helps. I was going to remove the repetitious texts, but Thomas got there before I did. You'll have to add the links yourself, since I don't know what versions you want. Another idea: just describe the versions you want to discuss, for instance by saying "my last version" or giving the timestamps of them or something, and Thomas, who is an experienced user, will find them. Bishonen | talk 19:17, 14 September 2013 (UTC).
Still waiting...
I'm still waiting for an answer to my questions under the heading "My talk page". And I noticed that you made an edit to Lavasa, I haven't had time to look at it though, but I will (I hope you realise that you're out on thin ice on Lavasa...). I also intend to take a look at previous edits you have made, not only on Lavasa, because there seems to be a disturbing pattern in what you're doing. Thomas.W 15:01, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Bitcoin
There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Bitcoin and Reddit-warring. Thank you. --Laser brain (talk) 18:35, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
Bitcoin lede bias
The problem is that I do not think your changes actually do reflect the article as a whole, and even if they did I also believe that the lede should always be balanced, due to the majority of users reading this article being completely new to Bitcoin. The greater contents of the article should allow the user to form their own opinion with a much more verbose explanation of the happenings of Bitcoin. A non-neutral lede will color a reader's expectations and perception for the rest of the article. There are plenty of opportunities to list the various illegitimate uses of Bitcoin throughout the rest of the article. One line or two with one source or two in favor of showing Bitcoin's legitimate use and the same for Bitcoin's illegitimate use is fair and reasonable, I believe. I hope that helps explain my reasoning. Orbixx (talk) 18:38, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
- Do you think that your edits really reflect the article as a whole? The aspect of Bitcoin being used for illegitimate purposes is an extremely valid talking point, but it is overaggerated. One only needs to look at the Trade link (see bottom of article) to see the legitimate use. All I want to see is neutrality when Bitcoin is written about, on Misplaced Pages moreso than anywhere else. Your edits dwarfed the single sentence indicating the legitimate use of Bitcoin in the lede, making it seem like there is an agenda of some sort. Let's keep it to an equal ratio of good/bad connotations. I don't mind which it starts with, start with legitimate/illegitimate use - it doesn't matter, but the written content and source content should not be outweighed on either side. Does that sound agreeable, or at least somewhat reasonable? Orbixx (talk) 18:49, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
- Mrcatzilla's recent edit is exactly the sort of thing I think is reasonable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orbixx (talk • contribs) 18:54, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
A reference problem Bitcoin
(editconflict) Hi! Some users have been working hard on Category:Pages with broken reference names.
Here you added a new ref name=toomanyspecs & ref name=washp but didn't define it. This has been showing as an error at the bottom of the article. Cite error: The named reference was invoked but never defined. Can you take a look and work out what you were trying to do? Thanks --Frze (talk · contribs) 18:42, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

I am offering you help in understanding Bitcoin technically
Bitcoin consists of SHA-256(redirects to SHA-2) and Digital signatures. I'm offering you help in learning more about them. I would begin with explaining what use a Digital signature is in Bitcoin and how they have been used since at least 2001 by certificate authorities. This is easy for me to explain if you have prior experience browsing to a website that supports https. Also I can only help if you wish to learn, so it's up to you. Nevertheless I like sharing knowledge and improve my own Logictheo (talk) 19:13, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
Encryption - No encryption is used. Only digital signatures There is no encryption(Did you mean Cryptography?) used in Bitcoin, all Bitcoin transactions are public and need to be publicly accessible on the Internet for the system to function.

Your rewrite of the bitcoin article
Just a heads up I mention you here: https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Bitcoin#Shouldn.27t_some_of_the_information_removed_in_this_edit_be_moved_elsewhere By no means am I saying 'step aside' on the Bitcoin article -- if you've got a bone to pick, then by all means, pick away -- but I am asking you to reconsider making unilateral sweeping changes that include the wholesale deletion of others' work. Do you believe that you're so unbiased in the matter of Bitcoin that you're the right person to be applying 27,000 character deletions and whole-article reorganizations? Canton (talk) 14:04, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
Canton +1. Fleetham did the same thing to me too. Dude, just give some reasons like everyone else; use Talk. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richardbondi (talk • contribs) 03:35, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
Your edits on Bitcoin.
I have restored the material that you, with no previous discussion and without the support of other editors, removed from Bitcoin. Do not make that type of edits unless there is a clear consensus on the talk page of the article supporting it! Thomas.W 16:28, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

November 2013
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Misplaced Pages, as you did to Bitcoin, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. Caution for unexplained removal of 6K bytes of content from the article, with a misleading edit summary saying "clarifying". Removing almost all of the technical content isn't "clarifying". Thomas.W 18:28, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
Baidu and Bitcoin
The problem is that after the story came out, it emerged that a lot was "lost in translation" from the Chinese press and the report that Baidu as an organization was doing anything en masse with regard to Bitcoin was not accurate. It was only ever a tiny subsidiary of Baidu (Jaisule) that was accepting Bitcoin (see ) and then they ceased to accept it after the central bank announcement. So it's not really accurate to say Baidu either accepts or does not accept Bitcoin without qualifying that it's just that one service. It's been difficult to find reliable sources on any of this because the American press still doesn't understand Bitcoin, and they certainly don't seem to understand what the Chinese press is even reporting.
Don't worry about "berating"; if I had a problem with my edits being questioned or reverted when they are wrong, I would have left Misplaced Pages long ago. I'm interested only in what's best for the article. --Laser brain (talk) 17:21, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
Bitcoin Article Edits
Fleetham a lot of your edits aren't helpful. If something isn't correctly sourced, please first look for a good source before simply deleting something. I've noticed you've got habit of making big edits which actually aren't helpful.
"Some call it a cryptocurrency" - everyone calls Bitcoin a cryptocurrency. I'm not sure what prompted this edit? "removed mention of a "proof of work" system because not mentioned in source" - then find a better source - the proof of work system is what makes the payment verifications possible. It doesn't add value to the article to remove this. "removed unhelpful diagram (what is this depicting?)" - The diagram depicts how a bitcoin transaction takes place - it is helpful, you shouldn't have removed it. Why did you removed the reference to the "early technical problems of 2009"? Your edits regarding China removed valuable information and don't present a balanced view of what's going on in china. Further it wasn't Baidu but rather a subsidiary thereof which had been accepting bitcoin — Preceding unsigned comment added by VinceSamios (talk • contribs) 09:23, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Please challenge verifiability on the talk page first instead of summarily removing content for lack of citation
As you know, content included on Misplaced Pages not only needs to be true, it also needs to be verifiable. You recently removed several statements from the Bitcoin article with an edit summary, "removed mention of things that, while possibly true, aren't mentioned in the citation at the end of the sentence". I just want to make sure you understand that absence of an in-line citation is not sufficient grounds for removal of content. When an editor removes uncited content for lack of a citation, he is also implicity challenging the verifiability of the content. That is to say that the editor is implicitly asserting that not only has a reliable source not yet been found and cited, such a source could not be found. In the case of the recent removals from the Bitcoin article, a reliable source was easy to find, and I've since restored the content with in-line citations (leaving in place some of your language enhancements, thanks). In the future though, I ask that you only remove content that you feel is truly unverifiable, not just not-yet-cited.Chris Arnesen 21:18, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
- In future, I will go looking for sources before I remove anything. Some of the content I deleted I knew to be true, so I apologize for the extra work this caused you. Fleetham (talk) 04:20, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
- Fleetham, I have explained this to you many times in the past. As always, I recommend placing {{cn}} or {{fact}} tags on the bits you suspect and then waiting a bit for other editors to add citations. Also, these tags should be used sparingly and only on things that seem doubtful. Every sentence in an article does not need a citation. Mr.choppers | ✎ 05:06, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
- @Mr.choppers I will concede that I am a bit of a citation-freak. I'll look for citations myself, but if I'm hasty citation needed is always better than a deletion. Fleetham (talk) 08:01, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Double ref
Hi Fleetham,
Today I noticed that an important reference had gone missing. I traced it back to this edit https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Bitcoin&diff=587536746&oldid=587533068 with summary "remove double reffing". The statement was that there are more than twenty thousand online merchants accepting bitcoin. One reference was for Coinbase's 10k+ merchants, the other for BitPays's. Neither alone had 20k+ so both references were important to establishing the statement. I'll re-add the removed citation. I'll try to make it as a single reference to avoid double-reffing, which I agree should usually be avoided.
Cheers, Chris Arnesen 19:00, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll explain later how to add two or more references to support a single claim. Fleetham (talk) 03:37, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the lesson on my talk page! I've used that a couple times already on other articles. Chris Arnesen 22:59, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Smaller edits
Hello,
Much appreciated if you could make fewer changes in a single edit. When you do a combination of moving, modifying, and removing content all in one edit, it's harder for the rest of us to see what's changed.
Thanks, Chris Arnesen 22:57, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Cut and paste
Fleetham,
From Misplaced Pages:Plagiarism#Repairing_text_plagiarism "Material that is plagiarized but which does not violate copyright does not need to be removed from Misplaced Pages if it can be repaired." Instead of summarily removing those cut and pasted sentences about the pizza purchase, a better approach would be to simply modify the language or flag the issue on the talk page so that one of us other editors could do it. Chris Arnesen 23:14, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Sentence removed
I'm not sure if you meant to, but you removed "Bitcoin-Qt can be used as a desktop wallet for regular payments or as a server utility for merchants and other payment services." That's actually important.
Bitcoin brainstorming
I want to discuss a couple of points without needing to make the talk completely public. Hope you do not mind. You wrote: "...do you think we could find some sources that state Bitcoin doesn't need to have any intrinsic value outside of acting as a medium of exchange to work? Would that help with whatever perceived NPOV issues?" This helped me to look at the subject from a greater distance and try to summarize the issues:
- cirics, e.g., Paul Krugman state that bitcoin does not have any intrinsic value
- there are sources stating that value is never intrinsic, e.g. Ludwig von Mises; they can be interpreted as agreeing with the point on one hand, making the point irrelevant, on the other
- other pundits, e.g., Bank of America's FX and Rate Strategist David Woo state that bitcoin does have a "fair value", which is a result of his analysis, and as such, it is in Misplaced Pages called (perhaps misleadingly) intrinsic value, or, (perhaps less misleadingly) fundamental value
- Paul Krugman, in reaction to such analyses dismised the results pointing out that the value obtained was "extrinsic". I cannot help but agree with his point, knowing that value is always extrinsic.
So, now is the time to straighten the mess in my head and try to make some sense of it. Do you have any inspiration from which end to start? Ladislav Mecir (talk) 12:40, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
My above thoughts, of course, don't exclude the possibility that certain sources stated that there was no need for bitcoin to have any intrinsic value. Ladislav Mecir (talk) 13:04, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for your patience with me, now I think I have got a pretty reasonable idea how to handle this issue. Ladislav Mecir (talk) 17:27, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
Your last restore
I guess that you made an error when trying to restore some material. I think that it would be better to revert your change and revert the change HLachman made as a cure. Ladislav Mecir (talk) 18:10, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Bitcoin-Qt
Twice now you've moved "The so-called "Satoshi client" can be used as a desktop wallet for regular payments or as a server utility for merchants and other payment services. Bitcoin-Qt is sometimes referred to as the reference client because it serves to define the Bitcoin protocol and acts as a standard for other implementations." from the software section to the history section.

Query
What was happening here? --John (talk) 15:26, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
- Let me know if it would be better to reply on my talk page not yours. User Wuerzele has gotten in the habit of making personal attacks. perhaps what he or she has to say isn't entirely groundless but does seem like hyperbole. He or she also says things like "you have an awful writing style, don't edit using the word 'while,' etc." I've always been polite. I've repeatedly asked him or her to read ], but that has had no impact. I'm happy to change my behavior, but I'm not happy to hear that I need to do so in this way. And Wuerzele's most recent post isn't an escalation brought on by frustration, he's always written things like that. I'm also somewhat curious as to why a user who was banned as a sock made less than five edits to the page (all of them referring to the IRS as the "inland revenue service"), and then posted on the talk page about how I "lack respect for other's edits." I don't want to accuse anyone of sockpuppetry, but Wuerzele does seem a little too upset at my behavior... Fleetham (talk) 19:15, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the candid reply. Is there any way I can help mediate? I think there is definite potential to improve the article. This fighting isn't helping that to happen. As regards your suspicion of socking, I can maybe clear that one up as well if you seriously suspect this has been happening. --John (talk) 19:19, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
- Well, I don't really care about the sockpuppet thing although Wuerzele's the only one beside that sock who has made similar accusations. I do really want the personal attacks to stop, however. Again, I'm happy to change my behavior. Maybe Wuerzele's totally correct, and I simply disregard what is said because I consider it rude. But either way, I do think some mediation is needed because I'm not likely to respond to Wuerzele's comments by saying, "you're right. I am a horrible editor. I'll change my behavior immediately!"

- Ok, that's great. Leave it with me. --John (talk) 06:07, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
- Well, I don't really care about the sockpuppet thing although Wuerzele's the only one beside that sock who has made similar accusations. I do really want the personal attacks to stop, however. Again, I'm happy to change my behavior. Maybe Wuerzele's totally correct, and I simply disregard what is said because I consider it rude. But either way, I do think some mediation is needed because I'm not likely to respond to Wuerzele's comments by saying, "you're right. I am a horrible editor. I'll change my behavior immediately!" Fleetham (talk) 19:30, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the candid reply. Is there any way I can help mediate? I think there is definite potential to improve the article. This fighting isn't helping that to happen. As regards your suspicion of socking, I can maybe clear that one up as well if you seriously suspect this has been happening. --John (talk) 19:19, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Fleetham, you are kindly invited - for the second time - to take part in the discussion on the talk page and then to respect the majority view as clearly explained. Why are you so scared to reply to the arguments stated on the talk page?

Electrolux
You have removed nine months of changes to the Electrolux page with the simple comment of "restore" . This seems unfair to users who have added cited material in this time period, such as User:Captain260 who added material on Canada
Perhaps you could stop making this kind of change? See the Tata Nano section above also. - Ttwaring (talk) 14:36, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
May 2014
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Misplaced Pages, as you did to Electrolux, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Caution for unexplained and undiscussed removal of content, just like you have done several times on other articles before. Do not do blanket reversions to several months old versions without discussing it on the talk page, and gaining consensus for it, first. Thomas.W 14:47, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

RE: GreenTech Automotive
I updated information on the company. What other explanation is needed to maintain current information on the company?

https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Bitcoin&action=history I don't got it
Hi!
https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Bitcoin&action=history why you are removing my post?
How it can be considered promotion, localbitcoins is the biggest of its kind, and why I can't mention it? And who will "promote" website, mentioning that it's full of fraudsters, and you can be arrested dealing with "wrong guys"? If fact, I myself never use such marketplaces and strongly advice people to use reputable financial companies instead.
Also, I've added information about Fidor Bank and Ripple, and detalized exchangers description, why you are deleting all??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sr.ganador (talk • contribs) 23:13, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
Sr.ganador (talk) 23:31, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
Please suggest, how should I mention localbitcoins, if not telling that it's "most popular" You can see that it has much higher volume then other such marketplaces, and even some exchanges: http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/ So how you suppose is acceptable to write about it?

Be reasonable.
Give an editor a chance to supply a citation: ask for a citation, don´t just delete every addition as "no citation" otherwise it will be done with every word you add to the article: a citation will be required for every word you add to the article, like you are doing now to the current editor. MonteDaCunca (talk) 23:37, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
- Monte left similar comments on my talk. WP:V isn't optional and Monte doesn't understand WP:BURDEN. Furthermore by saying you should be reasonable, he is calling you unreasonable - completely inappropriate. The Dissident Aggressor 23:44, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello! There is a DR/N request you may have interest in.
This message is being sent to let you know of a discussion at the Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute discussion you may have participated in. Content disputes can hold up article development and make editing difficult for editors. You are not required to participate, but you are both invited and encouraged to help find a resolution. The thread is "Talk:Bitcoin#Regarding bitcoin_as_a_.22real_currency.22". Please join us to help form a consensus. Thank you!-- — Keithbob • Talk • 04:09, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
Bitcoin
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Bitcoin. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.Please be particularly aware, Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
Please give this time and do not continue to insert your preferred version without explicit consensus on talk. Thanks. SPECIFICO talk 22:01, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

edit summaries 12-28, 12-29, 12-30
Constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, but recent edits of yours on Bitcoin have edit summaries that appear to be inaccurate and inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Thank you. --Wuerzele (talk) 06:40, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
3RR on Bitcoin
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --Wuerzele (talk) 06:56, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
