Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, wikis, personal websites, and websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight. These sources may express views that are widely acknowledged as pushing a particular point-of-view, sometimes even extremist, being promotional in nature, or relying heavily on rumors and personal opinions. One of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 14:10, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Never did any of that. The only resources that were included were academic ones and websites created for the purpose of education. Not blogs or personal websites. Dianas90 (talk) 14:31, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

websites created for the purpose of education is not the sourcing standard. You need to comply with the policies linked above, particularly WP:RS. A self published site is a self published site regardless of its purpose, and Wikipedia cannot use them as sources. MrOllie (talk) 14:41, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

The only resources I included were either academic or the ones published by organizations that do not have a bad reputation and have in fact for years been a reputable source of information for people interested in cryptocurrency technology. None are self published. They comply with the policies. Could you please provide proof of why you believe otherwise for each resource removed? Once again, that article was live before with a YouTube video used as source Dianas90 (talk) 15:00, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

That there was an existing problem is not a reason to add more problem sources. published by organizations that do not have a bad reputation is also not the standard used here. Please familiarize with the standards Wikipedia uses. MrOllie (talk) 15:03, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Could you please provide explanation for each resource as to in which way it's problematic. Dianas90 (talk) 15:06, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

I have read the document you are referring to and do not see an issue with any of them Dianas90 (talk) 15:07, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

If you have read the guidelines and still don't see the problems with using the likes of Arxiv preprints, learncrypto.com, and geeksforgeeks.org I do not know how to explain it any more clearly. You should ask someplace like WP:TEAHOUSE. MrOllie (talk) 15:21, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

I very much respect your dedication, but do not agree with your interpretation of those guidelines. It's too narrow and doesn't take into account established practices. For example, geeksforgeeks.org has been used in many Wikipedia articles. Including this one Software engineering. Dianas90 (talk) 12:22, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia is a large site and volunteer time is limited. If you have noticed problem sources on Wikipedia, that is a reason to fix those problems, not to make the problems worse by replicating them elsewhere. MrOllie (talk) 12:27, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Let's agree to disagree on this topic, ok? Dianas90 (talk) 12:32, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

btw it's completely incorrect to redirect this article to Smart Contract. Those are not even remotely the same. Dianas90 (talk) 12:32, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Blockchain oracle. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:53, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Why is that I am receiving this message instead of the person that has created this situation. Who I believe is harrassing me. I have already explained to them many times the reasoning behind edits made. Please view the talk page. Dianas90 (talk) 13:07, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Asking you to comply with Wikipedia's sourcing requirements is not 'harassing' you. MrOllie (talk) 13:18, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Why don't you focus on removing the links that you feel are not in accordance with sourcing requirements then? The example I gave you is an article that is very popular on Wikipedia, much more than the one I edited. Why the bias? Dianas90 (talk) 14:49, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

I have been, you kept reverting without real explanation. That I have not fixed every problem everywhere on Wikipedia does not mean I cannot fix this one problem now. MrOllie (talk) 15:15, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

please take the time to read my previous messages properly Dianas90 (talk) 15:56, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Ditto. MrOllie (talk) 16:07, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Rosguill! Could you please specify exact phrases that you believe have been quoted from copyright protected content? Dianas90 (talk) 19:49, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

so that I could correct this issue. Because at the moment I don't believe I've used any content that violates copyright Dianas90 (talk) 19:50, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

The Examples section was a direct copy of part of the examples section at https://www.joinplank.com/articles/random-numbers-oracle. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 19:57, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

the paragraph mentioning Augur was added before I edited the article. By the previous person. Will correct. Thank you for the information! Dianas90 (talk) 21:12, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Ah, my apologies, I mistakenly assumed it had been you because of the recent activity on the article _signed, Rosguill ^talk 22:09, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
