Aave moved to draftspace

[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to Aave. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability, it is promotional and reads like an advertisement, you may have a possible Conflict of Interest and recently speedy removed and removed by AfD https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Aave_Protocol . I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit for review" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Taking off shortly (talk) 08:30, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional editing on Algorand

[edit]

Hello. I've reverted the changes you've made to Algorand. Please keep in mind that Wikipedia isn't a platform for promotion. Avoid citing pre-prints. Any claims about being 'quantum resistant' introduce WP:CRYSTAL and WP:FRINGE issues, and would need much better sources and more context from those sources. Also avoid MDPI-published journals -there are a lot of shoddy journals operating in the cryptocurrency space, and MDPI isn't a particularly reputable publisher regardless. Additionally, avoid cherry-picking from such journals to promote a topic without providing and useful information. Further, if you own any Algorand tokens (or related investments) you have a conflict of interest and should review WP:COI. The article's talk page would be the place to discuss this further. Thanks.

@Grayfell: Thanks for your feedback. While I might sometimes probably get overexcited about a lot of different blockchains, I think we could at least add a few things. What I've written was really technical, so I didn't immediately think of it as promotional. We can at least mention FALCON standards, which really isn't promotional at all but rather is just a technical aspect of Algorand. I can leave out sentences with "quantum-resistant blockchain" if that's overdoing things. Newatlascamels (talk) 10:11, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You can check my edits again. I don't think anything promotional was added this time. Plus I added only one sentence. Newatlascamels (talk) 10:16, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Reorganizing the article to downplay factual information (such as the SEC lawsuits) can be promotional. I hope that's obvious. Since it had already been reverted, it should not have been marked as a minor edit (see Help:Minor edit). Repeatedly marking contested edits as 'minor' is disruptive.
The source you cited for FALCON did not even mention Algorand at all, making it inappropriate for that claim in that article. Even if a reliable source mentions that Algorand cryptographers contribute to this standard in some specific way, we would still need to provide enough context for that to more than just bland trivia. Wikipedia's goal isn't to just list-off things which sound impressive without any context.
If you are overexcited about blockchains because you have a have a conflict of interest, you shouldn't be editing articles about those blockchains. Again, please read WP:COI and confirm that you understand this. You may also find Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide helpful. Grayfell (talk) 20:55, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
