Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:XRP Ledger


A tag has been placed on Draft:XRP Ledger, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.
 * It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://xrpl.org/history.html. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Appeal
I have received this message from. You can still edit this page. If you wish to appeal against my block, copy, complete and save the following. Note that it is likely to be a condition of any unblock that you will have to agree not to edit on the topic for which you were blocked, XRP Ledger Jimfbleak - talk to me?  05:24, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

What is your connection with the topics you have edited about? 331dot (talk) 20:10, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I am just enthusiast of the technology. It is an open-source, distributed blockchain technology led by a community. Anyone can use it, run or contribute to it. Jakub Ferschmann (talk) 21:30, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * As noted by Jimfbleak above, part of being unblocked will involve you agreeing to not edit about XRP Ledger. What will you edit about instead?  I'm also curious as to why you'd not edited in 15 years until two days ago. 331dot (talk) 09:10, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
 * My friend is a big wikipedian here in Czech. He always encouraged me to contribute to wikipedia. I didn't know about what. Until to my study at university I joined to a large project on speech recognition, speaking heads, sign language synthesis, etc. MUSSLAP. I wanted to write about it in Czech wikipedia, but even then it was not very well accepted by the administrators. So I gave up. Today I am interested in XRP Ledger and I often come across incorrect information on Wikipedia about it. For example the term XRP Ledger is redirected to Ripple is a mistake. So I decided to change that. I didn't know that after 10 minutes I would have a blocked account. I don't understand how I hurt Wikipedia so much? Even my friend  doesn't understand. I don't understand why I can't start a page about XRP Ledger? How starting a draft about XRP Ledger can be bad for wikipedia, even for anyone? Jakub Ferschmann (talk) 09:59, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The topic being "bad" for Wikipedia is not the issue. In this type of situation, we usually ask the editor involved to edit in other areas to demonstrate their understanding of Wikipedia guidelines regarding content, which shows that they are interested in contributing to Wikipedia more broadly and helps to confirm that they have no specific conflict of interest with the original topic they were blocked over.  If you have no conflict of interest as you say, you should have no problem being willing to edit in other areas for a bit.  You would not be permanently prohibited from editing about XRP, but we need to see what else you can do and how you do it. Please answer the question, are you willing to agree to not edit about XRP Ledger? Wikipedia has no deadlines so there is no hurry to have any specific article written. 331dot (talk) 10:11, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
 * If I want to contribute well, I need to have knowledge about the issue. Currently, I don't have the desire or time to deal with anything else. When I choose another topic, have I a warranty it won't turn out the same way? My goal is not to become a wikipedia editor of any topic. I want to spend my free time fixing and adding information about XRP Ledger. If it's a problem, I dedicate my free time to something else. Maybe in the next 15 years I will have more success. Thank you for your time. Jakub Ferschmann (talk) 10:39, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
 * It won't turn out the same way because you will be demonstrating you are not a single issue editor and that you understand guidelines. As I said, it would not be a permanent prohibition. 331dot (talk) 10:58, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
