The text below is taken from an exchange that I had with one particularly problematic Wiki Editor. Kept here for posterity!
MrX - Circular reference. Now that's a comment I understand, thank you. Point taken and I'll avoid in the future.
Edit conflict - response Smallbones - Here are some responses. If you're in a hurry, you may want to skip to the end to the bit that will make you happy.
Ok, you win. I give up. Do what you want with the page. Life is too short and there are too many, far more important, things in life for me to worry about.
You're a long standing editor who has the reputational clout on Wiki (and free time), to hammer me into the ground. I'm just one ordinary person, trying to contribute to Wiki (although this page has taken most of my time, I have tried to improve other pages and contributed in other ways, including financially). It really doesn't matter whether I *think* you're being unreasonable, or whether you really *are* being unreasonable, I can't win.
I now understand a bit better some of the criticism of Wikipedia that I've read but previously ignored. That criticism mostly centres on the way that some editors lord over the Wiki world and use the rules and their reputation to stifle, rather than encourage. Sometimes I click on the 'random' page and so frequently find pages that would fail, in your eyes, as miserably as this page does. Maybe you just haven't seen them? Maybe you just don't like me. Or Gulden. Or Cryptos. Or the Dutch. Whatever....
As I said, you win. Pop back every week or so and remove a few more words, until the page is completely blank. I'm going to copy this talk page into my personal talk page, as a reminder for myself. I'm already aware of the positive things about Wiki and also some of the positive people that' I've interacted with here. It will be useful to keep a copy of this exchange to remind me that with every positive, there's also a negative. EyePeaSea ( talk) 14:52, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

The article Gulden (digital currency) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No evidence of notability, largely uncited, one RS and some crypto blogs. This is cut-down from a much more blatantly promotional version.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
