== 247exchange ==
Could you please add the exchange service 247exchange.com to this list https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Buying_Bitcoins_(the_newbie_version) ?
247exchange is a fixed-rate exchange. Accepting credit & debit cards, bank wire transfer, SEPA, express cash transfers (through MoneyPolo system and its partners), etc.
Also, coin.mx seems dead, so, I guess, it's better to remove it from the list. Thanks.

== Bitcoin Fog ==
Could you remove bitcoin fog advertisment from bitcoin wiki, because it scammed a lot of people? {{unsigned|Pampa|20:20, 5 March 2015 (UTC)‎}}
:See [[Talk:Bitcoin Fog]] --[[User:Taras|Taras]] ([[User talk:Taras|talk]]) 21:36, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
== Can you at least consult with me ==


you have admin rights on the english wiki. that means you can move/delete pages when you deem it appropriate. {{unsigned|Nanotube|02:41, 14 August 2014‎}}
...before editing "every" thing I write. Isn't that the point of this being a community wiki and not a centralized wiki?
:Acknowledged :) [[User:Taras|Taras]] ([[User talk:Taras|talk]]) 02:46, 14 August 2014 (UTC)


==Proposed article for deletion==
Why did you rename the PS Coin page (see how I'm consulting first before just undo-ing)?


Hi, I would like to propose deleting the article [[Tonal Bitcoin]]. I have added a justification here
Additionally, I changed the "planned" template you edited back to "soon" which I originally had made - there is a very literal distinction between those words. Planned would imply uncertainty. We've already tackled the sufficient regulatory hurdles necessary, minus one additional step which we're in the process of completing now.

To avoid having this article reappear, it might be best to blank the page while keeping it protected. [[User:Lunokhod|Lunokhod]] ([[User talk:Lunokhod|talk]]) 09:42, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
:Is [[PS Coin]] really called "PS Coin - incentivized exchange"? They write that down as their name all the time? If it is, go ahead and put it back.
:See below [[User:Taras|Taras]] ([[User talk:Taras|talk]]) 21:25, 22 August 2014 (UTC)


==Proposed block of user [[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]]==
:: I just feel the distinction would help in this case, since it's radically different than other exchanges (no other exchanges have an incentivized algorithm like PS Coin - it really should be in a category of its own) [[User:Bliljerk101|Bliljerk101]] ([[User talk:Bliljerk101|talk]]) 18:29, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi there, in addition to the above proposed article deletion, with further research and run ins with the "overseer" of that page, I kindly ask that you consider blocking the user account [[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]]. I have never once asked such a thing before on any of the wiki's I edit, so I do not do so lightly.


To summarize:
:Also, "Planned" does not imply uncertainty. It is only used when implementation is imminent. [[User:Taras|Taras]] ([[User talk:Taras|talk]]) 14:37, 9 February 2015 (UTC)


# If you look at the editing history of [[Tonal Bitcoin]], you will see that user Luke-Jr has reverted almost every single edit that has been made to this page. This has been done with no discussion on the talk page. This manner in which the edits are reverted are done so in a fanatical way, and this applies to several users that have attempted to contribute to this page, not just one.
:: "Planned" implies the inherent uncertainty of any future event. Until it happens, it is always uncertain. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] ([[User talk:Luke-jr|talk]]) 06:09, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
# If you look at the history of the talk pages, you will see that several people have made sensible comments. Furthermore several people have previously made arguements for why this page should be deleted. However, Luke-jr has consistently removed these comments from the talk page, affectively stopping all further discussion, or ending in a revert-war. Though it is common to to have differences in the content of a wiki page, I have never seen a user in my life revert to removing comments and discussions posted on the talk page.
# With regard to the above point, I emphasize that Gavin Andresen himself (!) commented on the talk page, suggesting that this page be removed. Luke -Jr had the gaul to even remove this comment from such a member of high standing in the bitcoin community.
# If you look at this user's talk page, you will notice that he has consistently blanked his page after receiving comments about his edits on other pages.
# If you look at his editing history, you will see that he consistently makes edits that go against community consensus, all while giving little-to-no justification.
# Finally, as seen in the tonal bitcoin forum, he accuses all members that are not on his side (i.e., everyone in the tonal bitcoin case) to be trolling. At the very least, this is not very kind. At the worst, this behavior is itself trolling.

:It's really not my place to block Luke. While I agree that TBC doesn't belong on the list of alts, it '''does''' constitute an article of its own (even if it may need some rewording) and Luke is otherwise a contributing member of this wiki. I dislike that he blanks talk pages for being against his ideals, over the guise of being simply "trolling," however he is right that TBC is in no violation [[Bitcoin:About|of any guidelines on the wiki]] and his actions would not constitute a block on my behalf. Regardless, I appreciate you trying to improve this wiki.

:::: [[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]], Thanks for your input here. [[User:Taras|Taras]], I think there is no reason to not keep both templates.
