Your deletions at Ripple
You do not own this page and I am furious about your deletions. I expect you to self-revert immediately. Martijn Meijering (talk) 22:05, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
 * And may I remind you of the three revert rule? Unless you self-revert you are liable to be summarily slapped with a temporary ban without further warning. Martijn Meijering (talk) 22:14, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm waiting for your self-revert. I will not wait indefinitely. In the mean time, you may want to have a look at this warning: Martijn Meijering (talk) 22:21, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.


 * Dont bully. This article is about the Ripple payment protocol. It is not about 'RipplePay'. I posted this somewhere to you, but obviously you never got it....Dear Mmeijeri, I feel bad about this but, I feel your understanding of Ripple is 'past it's expiry date'. To claim that Ripple's "credit system still is the basis for Ripple's fiat payment mechanism." is erroneous. You said, for example, that it "now" has gateways. Gateways have been in place and critical since OpenCoin took over, and most certainly sense Ripple Labs did. Deposits to a gateway is the basis for the fiat payment. The over use of words like 'credit' and 'IOU' to discuss 'RipplePay's' founding philosophy are damaging to and inaccurate representation of Ripple. I am daily up to my eyeballs defending Ripple in discussion forum arguments because of your persistence in making these philosophical underpinnings so prominent in the article. In reality, they are applicable to many payment/exchange/remittance systems. Nowhere in the page on the US dollar, for example, does one read that dollars are actually IOUs owed by the government to the federal reserve. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? And...I should add...not one thing I deleted had a reference. I am not posting (or reposting) things with zero references.PirateButtercup (talk) 22:56, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Don't lecture me on Ripple, I'm a Ripple expert. It's not about the terminology, it's about decentralisation. Gateways are an enormously important addition to Ripple, but it's important to realise you can do without them. Ripple doesn't force you into using a partially centralised system of gateways, it allows you to go fully p2p if that's what you want.
 * Whether the material was cited or not doesn't matter, 3RR is 3RR. I'm giving you one more chance to self-revert before I report you. I'm quite happy to discuss matters with you if they are controversial, that's what BRD is for, but I'm not going to let you violate the rules and delete a whole series of constructive edits by other editors. Martijn Meijering (talk) 23:09, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Ripple is a payment system, currency exchange and remittance network. Money can only get into it via a gateway. Ripple is the internet for money. Gateways are the ISPs. If you don't have them, you can't get money in. ... and I'm sorry Martin, but I simply don't know enough about the rules of wiki to understand what your saying about 3RR or the ramifications thereof. I know I can read about it, but's almost 2:30 in the morning and I don't have time to read on it now. (Oh...there are a few videos on youtube about Ripple that you might find useful....specifically, check out the one on Gateways and Pathways)PirateButtercup (talk) 23:25, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
 * You are wrong about the gateways, but I will not discuss substance with you until you start complying with the rules. You even admit you don't know the rules, so you must read up first. In the mean time I will report you. Throwing away good-faith edits is highly disrespectful and I am offended. Martijn Meijering (talk) 23:28, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

This is to warn you that you have been reported: Martijn Meijering (talk) 23:46, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you.
 * You can see the complaint about your edits at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. You can respond there if you wish. If you will agree to wait for consensus before changing the article again it may be sufficient to avoid a block. As for anyone else, your continued participation depends on your willingness to follow Wikipedia policies. We are glad that experts want to participate here, but we can't get anywhere without consensus. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 00:10, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Please include a meaningful summary when you commit your edits
Please include a meaningful edit summary with each and every one of your edits to "live" articles (no need on "talk" pages IMO). In particular this large edit had no comment:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ripple_%28payment_protocol%29&diff=592856988&oldid=592853855

It re-inserting content that I had just removed. Wikipedia is a collaborative effort, and it makes all our lives easier if we provide information to our fellow editors about the changes we're making.

Thanks, Chris Arnesen 19:23, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah...I feel bad about that. I get so wrapped up in the content that I forget to write a summary until seconds after I hit 'submit'. It happens WAY to often to be acceptable. Is there a way to to 'edit my edit' such that I can go back and put the reason if I prematurely hit 'submit'?
 * I forgot sometimes too. In my browser, if I hit the "stop loading" button after I've hit "submit" sometimes I can catch it in time. Failing that, you could also follow up your first edit with a no-change edit whose only purpose is to provide a summary for the previous edit. Cheers, Chris Arnesen 16:42, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
 * There is a way to get reminded if you leave a blank edit summary. Go into Special:Preferences, click the 'Editing' tab, and check the box Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. EdJohnston (talk) 17:17, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

 Thanks for uploading File:Ripple Labs logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.
