Let’s try again.
The Wikipedia “Cardano” article was undeleted today. Cardano is the #10 cryptocurrency with plenty of reason to have an article.
This is an interesting study of how just a few mostly anonymous people on Wikipedia can manipulate info.

The Cardano founder’s rant (above) is highly entertaining and persuasive. His story ought to be told if for no reason than what it illustrates about the seedy operations of “the encyclopedia anybody can edit.”
I’m not endorsing Cardano, which I know little about. Caveat emptor.

Leading the charge against crypto in general on Wikipedia is one David Gerard, who is, let’s just say, one of the people responsible for the mess that Wikipedia has become—and a leader of the libelous, silly RationalWiki. Has been a friend of Jimmy Wales.

I myself have been suspicious of the opportunity for rampant dishonesty both on Wikipedia *and* in crypto, which is why I can’t endorse Cardano; haven’t checked it out.
But I think the behavior of Wikipedians toward crypto is worth investigating. That’s a story I’d like to read.
