Unable to edit this article

I was doing to correct a spelling error in this article, but was unable to do so because it appears to be blocked from editing. Please fix this ridiculous situation! 173.88.246.138 (talk) 02:13, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What spelling error were you doing to correct? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 21:18, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Secondary source cited instead of primary source?

The claim that FTX was at one point the third-largest cryptocurrency exchange is attributed to "NPR" using this link: https://www.npr.org/2022/11/14/1136482889/ftx-sam-bankman-fried-shockwaves-crypto.

However, this article is just a republication of an Associated Press article. NPR attributes the article to "The Associated Press". The same article can be found on AP here: https://apnews.com/article/sam-bankman-fried-ftx-crypto-downfall-a2eaec231027dfd9f18426ff8982bbf8. There it is attributed to Ken Sweet, who is a writer for AP.

The odd thing is that the publication date for NPR is a few hours earlier than the AP one. However, the NPR article explicitly attributes it to the Associated Press so it seems pretty cut and dry that AP did the original publication. I think someone should change the citation to point to the AP article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.103.84.202 (talk) 21:35, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 23 October 2023

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at FTX. (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 autoconfirmed 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 {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

The last paragraph of FTX#Widening impact and contagion fears could stand some updating re: Silvergate Bank. How about this sentence, copied from the lede of Silvergate Bank: In March 2023, the bank announced plans to wind down and liquidate.^[1]

Additionally, I think Concerns were also raised would be better than Concerns have also been raised to start off that paragraph. YMMV. 57.140.16.45 (talk) 22:25, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
