Great work, very close now! +5% +5%

We should have "reception" section like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethereum too,
it seems there we can brag and pretend not to brag while bragging about press. ;)

We have received some feedback on the wiki article.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Bitshares

Please feel free to make changes so that it can be accepted.
I will work on it again but am extremely busy at work at the moment.

I just asked the reddit community (r/CryptoCurrency) for a feedback.

Maybe we can arrange some tipping there for good feedback!

Yes I have already made substantial changes addressing the below before re-submitting the article.
But if more improvements can be found, fantastic.
(I left the criticisms on the article so that the reviewer is reminded of what he/she said initially).

"articles for review are severely backlogged"

So let's take care of all the issues they listed before it gets reviewed again:

Quote1. Tone has a throbbing undertow of excitement: understandable but needs adjustment.
2. Numerous technical errors e.g. authorship of reference 3 is unequivocally wrong, and the sentence it cites does not seem to receive support from that source (using bot search for cited individual.)
3. Would benefit from adding more WP:RS used carefully. Uncited assertions are not going to fly per Wikipedia guidelines.
4. Several in-line links attach to deprecated or non-existent sites - needs clean up.
5. Perhaps (stylistic issue) there is undue use of unexplained jargon.
Good luck. Overall, should eventually be an acceptable article if these issues are properly addressed. (Note: Help available at Teahouse).

I would like to use this thread for our Bitshares wikipedia article.

Here we can propose and discuss changes

The current temporary page can be found at:

I have been messaging the previous editor to try and speed up the review process.

If anyone knows any wikipedia editors who can help of with approval of the article that would be great.
