WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article Legality of cryptocurrency by country or territory, along with other pages relating to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, is designated by the community as a contentious topic. The current restrictions are:

Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period)

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be sanctioned.

Remedy instructions and exemptions

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.

With respect to any reverting restrictions:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

British Gibraltar in Center Europe

How can british Gibraltar be in Center Europe, when Spain is in Southern Europe, and France in Western Europe? How can Spain be in Southern Europe being at the west of France when France is in Western Europe?

First a source may be given for any such used geographical classification. Later, common sense should apply... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.120.88.229 (talk • contribs)

Binary legality?

I am not to understand this will to classify Bitcoin either as legal or banned. Is such classification based on any source?

Does it help to understand applicable (and changing) regulation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.120.88.229 (talk • contribs)

"legal status of cryptocurrencies" (sic) ?

It is written: "The legal status of cryptocurrencies". Legal status is defined as "Legal status describes the legal rights, duties and obligations of a person or entity".

Are cryptocurrencies a kind of person?

Shouldn't it be: The law applicable to cryptocurrencies varies substantially from one jurisdiction to another, and is still undefined or changing in many of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.120.88.229 (talk • contribs)

Yes, the definition at legal status is probably too narrow, but in colloquial use the term makes sense. It's not limited to applicable law but whether the law allows its ownership and use.

Also please sign your comments. I'll do it for you this time but it's expected of all editors. You can do it with four tildes ~~~~ Oblivy (talk) 12:12, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
