Adding references to article Bitnation
Please do not be offended that I've removed most of the references you recently added to the article Bitnation, which is currently under consideration for deletion. As further elaborated in the current deletion discussion (AfD), references from Bitcoin-related publications such as Bitcoin Magazine or futurist / transhumanist publications such as h+ Magazine, as well as references purporting to be reportage by persons like Giulio Prisco who are closely related to the project, are overwhelmingly likely to be rejected as having a conflict of interest and therefore not being independent sources capable of establishing notability.

I'm strongly in favor of retaining—not deleting—the article Bitnation, and have been arguing in favor of doing so at the AfD, as well as editing the article extensively to meet Wikipedia's standards. I've retained a few of the references you added, that do not clearly fall afoul of the independence criteria. I've also retained some of your references that come directly from the Bitnation project, but moved them into an "External links" section; although not independent as references, they are useful as information about the project's self-characterization.

Please be more discriminating in adding references in the future. One hint: a reference which is not itself independent may contain links to other references that are superior. Chasing down these links may take a little more time, but it will do more to create a good article that is resistant to deletion.
