Semi-protected edit request on 31 May 2016

This edit request to Onecoin has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Remove the last sentence "There is a petition to stop the claimed scam operation and arrest the people behind". This has no place in an encyclopaedia, anyone is free to start an online petition on any subject they wish no matter how serious or how frivolous, it amounts to pretty much nothing. For example the petition for Taco Bell to "Bring back chili cheese burritos at all locations", which for some reason we don't include in the Taco Bell article, nor is the one for "Taco Bell in north London" or the many many others easily findable on change.org. Not to mention the reference to change.org is not a proper link but to hxxps://, this is because change.org is on the spam blacklist 82.14.37.32 (talk) 18:12, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done I removed it, besides the mention of change.org Onecoin was said to be a "scam" and run by "mobsters." Clearly not something for an encyclopedia. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 18:19, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Potential Sources

Not sure what the view is regarding reliability for [1] it's certainly interesting, since it certainly belies the idea that they are selling "educational material" --82.14.37.32 (talk) 18:48, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is http://www.onecoinnorway.com/ a reliable source for the claim of "the fastest growing company" as it says in the page "Digital currency is the fastest growing industry in the world, and OneCoin leads this growth" (above the image of "The Bitcoin killer").--RicHard-59 (talk) 10:10, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, you need a neutral/independent source for a statement like that. OneCoin Norway is a Onecoin affiliate, meaning that it's Onecoin themselves claiming that "they lead the growth in the fastest growing industry in the world". That is pure unsubstantiated promotion.

Mirror story

Here's one of the few WP:RS on Onecoin in English:

Who wants to be a OneCoin millionaire? YOU don’t - here’s why hyped-up web currency is virtually worthless

10 Feb 2016

By Andrew Penman

Bitcoin is the virtual currency world leader and it is claimed that OneCoin comes next, but something doesn't add up

You mean exactly the same one as I pointed to in the section above ? --82.14.37.32 (talk) 21:46, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 29 June 2016

This edit request to Onecoin has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I am part of onecoine multilevel network (now onelife.eu) for 3 months now, and I am very educated in this matter, what we do, what we want to achieve and I find this article very poorly written by educated person and all sources are only blogs ran by anonymous people that are attracted to write bad about onecoin just so they can sell ads and they really like onecoin because it is so popular for so short time. I care about onecoin and onelife, it changed our life and lives to many people, so I would like yo edit this article so it will reflect true about onecoin and onelife network. If you decline this, I will just open new true onecoin article. Thanks ahead

Not done @Igorkrnic: As the note says: "State UNAMBIGUOUSLY your suggested changes. Other editors need to know what to add or remove." Any attempt to create a new article will be seen as a violation of Wikipedia's policies (see WP:POVFORK). Instead, you must attempt to build consensus here. The way to do that is by making specific suggestions, not vague insinuations, and do not make threats to ignore policy and disrupt Wikipedia. Thank you.

New top product €225,500 EUR. [2]--RicHard-59 (talk) 08:30, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As payment method

According to OneCoin support, OneCoin cannot be used as payment method by merchants until 2018, as it is still not in public. And as the founder Ruja Ignatova announced in recent event in Thailand, OneCoin would not go public until the second quarter of 2018.[3]--RicHard-59 (talk) 08:30, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. NeilN ^{talk to me} 06:13, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong introducing sentence

I would suppose that the introducing sentence is not correct: "Onecoin is a virtual cryptocoin, based on cryptocurrencies, with a private blockchain". There is nothing like a "virtual" cryptocoin. It means that it doesn´t exist. What is "based on cryptocurrencies"? Onecoin does not exist, it is based on nothing, it is just a fantasy. A private blockchain? Same. Just a fantasy. Onecoin is nothing else than a ponzi scheme with fantastic words describing nothing but hot air as we say in Germany. --TechArtGer (talk) 21:30, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at OneCoin. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

"Each level (except six and seven), or package, gives new educational material, which are copied from several sources" - the word "copied" should be replaced with the more explicit "plagiarised". See for example [4]. To suggest that the material has been copied legitimately is POV.

Also, for grammar, "are" should be "is". --87.224.68.42 (talk) 13:55, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
