A belated welcome!


Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Malkavian. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
 * Introduction
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Questions, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there.

Creating new entries
Hi there, wanted to offer a bit of advice to respond to your comment here. One thing to know is that WP policy on reuse of copyrighted content is pretty strict: if a new entry is principally based on such material without evidence of proper licensing, it will be immediately deleted per CSD G12; any such material added to an existing entry will also be deleted. So in short, just never lift material from copyrighted sources unless you are quoting them, then only sparingly.

In terms of developing entries in your own words, but which you haven't had time to add sources to: I'd recommend creating drafts via Article_wizard. That way you can take as much time as you like to add all the sources necessary to establish the topic's WP:Notability, and then submit the draft for another editor to check over; if it has any remaining issues, the reviewer will let you know so you may fix them before it goes to mainspace, where certain kinds of issues may result in swift deletion. (Full disclosure: sometimes a reviewer will still accidentally overlook a problem and deletion may still happen, but a second set of eyes goes a long way.)

Hope that helps for next time! To be clear, if Bcash is deleted through in the current AfD, you should not recreate it (even through Article Wizard) until the issues raised at AfD can be addressed (e.g. if new sources emerge). Recreating deleted entries can be considered disruptive and lead to blocks, so I want to be sure I don't lead you astray in this regard--going through Article Wizard won't change whether or not an entry is notable, only new evidence of meeting notability criteria can do that. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions about this, I know it can be a lot to sort out. Happy editing! Innisfree987 (talk) 01:14, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

More bcash edits
Hi, you made this edit to the Bitcoin Cash article in reference to the alt-name bcash and  has already warned you above about this. You need to provide WP:RS to substantiate this pejorative claim. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 12:53, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

You are topic banned from cryptocurrency related articles
For the reasons above, and for your motivation for editing being to perpetuate the Bitcoin Cash dispute (see Tendentious editing), you are now indefinitely topic banned from all pages related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, broadly construed. Your editing privileges will be temporarily revoked if you edit in these areas. This restriction has been placed with the authority of the community, per General sanctions/Blockchain and cryptocurrencies, and has been logged at that page. MER-C 14:43, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
