Wikipedia has a cancer. Let your voice be heard at the village pump, although it is very unlikely anything will come out of it.

Crypto topics

edit

As a general rule, don't use any crypto blogs and news sources. Instead, find sources in more mainstream news outlets. Look at the Reliable sources link above and see the previous discussion about that source. Never use blogs or crypto media to establish notability, and especially don't use these for Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons.

For new editors creating pages related to cryptocurrencies or crypto-related projects, please review Wikipedia:Notability (cryptocurrencies)

Also see the previous noticeboard discussion of CoinDesk as a source (2019) and generally don't use it for crypto-related articles.
