At the time, wiki wanted to remove the page. There wasn't anything good that had been published detailed and described bitcoin other than the white paper. Wiki requires referencing, and the only thing I could find to try and link it to is what's in that reference there. In that, people take away the wrong concept.

if you look at the start of the posts
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=342

What you end up seeing is that they planned to remove the Wikipedia article on BitCoin. Wiki does not allow primary sources affiliated with the program and what it had from the original article was considered insufficient

This was updated and links to other concepts were included
https://web.archive.org/web/20110204060119/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin

You see this in the 2011 version of wiki where it mentions that comment.

The later article even mentioned Luke's boondoggle tonal idea.

It's not easy for me to be nice to stupid ideas. I needed people to start using bitcoin and the simple answer was that I did my best to ignore the stupidity and try and encourage any use.
