We now have a Burst wikipedia article !

[Gadrah_]

@LithStud Thank you :) But I was not alone on this project ! In particular, @iKnow0 has done a great work and the article wouldn't be where it is now without him. So @nameless, can you give him a cookie as well ? :)

i think thats a great idea! It will help spred the word and explain people why it is worth to buy some!

Fun fact : during yesterday's edit war, Palmaris was banned from editing the article : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Palmaris

On a more serious note, the article has apparently been reviewed by serious wikipedia members and a few parts that seemed promotional or without references have been removed, including the section about the forums.
Please don't try to put it back there as we don't want any negative attention from moderators to our article. Thanks.

@Gadrah_ Awesome work on the wiki article - love it.

And LMAO that Palmaris got banned for vandalism.

Edit And even more so that the Wikipedia Editors say that these forums are the Official ones!

Interesting that it got removed after all that... I thought the encrypted messaging feature was worth mentioning though. Would you guys mind if I tried to work it in somewhere else?

[Gadrah_]

@k.coins Initially it was included in the "features" section, along with other things, but the draft was criticized by wikipedia mods for "reading like a brochure describing the features of burstcoin" so I only kept what I felt was the most important. If it was up to me to decide I would not change it but hey I don't own this article :)

@nameless my address is below.
Re: the wiki article, this is huge guys. Search engine rankings will get a huge boost, already other alt-coins have started linking to the article. Only 24 cryptocurrencies are officaly listed by wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cryptocurrencies) this gives an idea of how hard it is to do. I would like to personally thank @Gadrah_ for his Trojan work.

@Gadrah_ @iKnow0 Thanks for the great work you guys made ;P

[Intbrk]

I have translated this article for russian wiki and it was already edited and confirmed by wiki editor. Hope it helps. :)

[iKnow0]

@Intbrk Excellent work. If there are any other polyglots out there more translations are needed.

I agree fully, having this wikipedia article is great news for Burst and search engine rankings!

As soon as I get the chance I will translate it to Spanish :)

[ccminer]

[Gadrah_]

I can translate to French, but only starting next week :)

[Propagandalf]

[gpedro]

... Same in here to Portuguese but i need to find time first xP

[richkid]

@Gadrah_ great job

[Energy]

You have to have account in the wikipedia to be able to translate it ??

In my case I could try to translate it into Spanish and Galician, that if with my level of English I could destroy it jaja

[Gadrah_]

@Energy Nope you are not required to have an account to edit an article, I personally don't have one yet. However, you need an account to use the "content translation" tools that should make the translation easier (from what I understood, but I have not looked deeply into it yet).
