WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS The article Craig Steven Wright, 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!

In this interview (time stamp included in link https://youtube.com/0JvDauIX5lg?t=1477) Craig claims to have a degree in theology. Im not sure how of if youtube interviews are a good source but found that. Additionally, I found this source [1] citing him having a "Doctor of Theology (ThD) degree from United Theological College" which I assume is located in Australia https://www.utc.edu.au/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.112.177.218 (talk) 00:36, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Done I added United Theological College per his profile at his booking agent. BTW, the YouTube link did not work for me. --SVTCobra 14:42, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A booking agent isn't a reliable source, nor is YouTube. I will try to find something better.--FeralOink (talk) 03:46, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to submit adding the podcast series Dr Bitcoin - The Man Who Wasn't Satoshi Nakamoto to the popular culture section. The series started in November last year and covers Wright's experiences and controversies since 2011 to the present day. It now has monthly episodes and has over 10,000 listens across multiple platforms. It remains the first and only podcast series dedicated to Craig Wright. 86.9.210.104 (talk) 09:06, 28 April 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.9.210.104 (talk) 13:09, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[2] - I'm not sure Coinmarketcap is a reliable source here. Wikipedia:Notability (cryptocurrencies) suggests "More broadly, there is strong consensus that cryptocurrency-focused sources (such as CoinDesk or Bitcoin Magazine) should generally not be used on Wikipedia articles". I had a look for an alternative source for the information but the only ones I could find were similar cryptocurrency focused sources. JaggedHamster (talk) 12:37, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My edit that made this addition has been reverted. Other sources can be found, such as direct coverage of the court proceedings by news outlets such as Yahoo: https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/craig-wright-won-t-cryptographic-001254448.html

Whether this is deemed "reliable" or not is beyond me. Public record summaries of the court proceedings that name Granath can be found as well. — JivanP (talk) 19:38, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately that Yahoo link is syndicated content from Coindesk, who aren't a reliable source per WP:RSP JaggedHamster (talk) 14:53, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I will investigate this and find a source that satisfies WP:RS for the content. If I am successful, I will insert the removed content back into the article.--FeralOink (talk) 03:46, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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

The below is stupid to include in someone's wiki. This is just a tweet from a business owner and includes no substantive information. There are reams of disparaging remarks made against people on twitter every day. I don't understand why someone included one arbitrary one. This is clearly a biased, unnecessary inclusion. Please keep Wikipedia clean.

In response to Wright's actions preceding the Hodlonaut lawsuit, Changpeng Zhao, founder of crypto exchange Binance, called Wright out as a fraud.^[1][2] Hrichson (talk) 08:26, 31 August 2023 (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 and provide a reliable source if appropriate. M.Bitton (talk) 12:47, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

does anyone have sources as to how, why and when Craig managed to get a Antiguan nationality?

To me it seems as if he managed to obtain the nationality via the Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Programme . When and how he obtained this seems interesting, and I'm not sure what jurisdiction benefits Craig sought out by getting this, and if this was done in connection to avoiding the law.

I know in the Kleiman vs Wright case he used his Antiguan nationality. I dont think he's even ever visited the island. eyeCommented (talk) 12:36, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
