rethink-your-strategy doesn't appear to be active anymore, but I'd just like to say that the original post in this thread is great detective work!
Someone should really do some serious editing of
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CryptoNote which misrepresents the whole CryptoNote/Bytecoin story.
I'm still around when I get emails about thread updates. That Wikipedia article is fucked and definitely needs editing. Know any Wikipedia editors?
Not sure if sarcastic, but anyone can edit Wikipedia articles. That's the whole premise of Wikipedia.
Some get locked and you need access to edit them. Mostly it's the political ones like global warming but if there is complaints a member with access privileges can lock it or verify you to edit it. But what you just stated was the initial intent.
There are topics that have edit wars and I'm not surprised that this would be one. I used to laugh at people that used wiki as their evidence in an argument but these days the info is much more reliable it is a laudable effort that had born fruit.
BTW I read it years ago and pointed that out as well when I first got into XMR but completely forgot about it since then.
