The article Ripple (payment protocol), 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 may not revert the removal of content unless the material is fully backed by inline sources (see WP:BURDEN)
Editors may not use industry sources (any publications which substantially cover cryptocurrency or blockchain) or primary sources unless an affirmative consensus is reached that a particular source is appropriate for use in accordance with all relevant policies, including WP:V, WP:RS, and WP:NOR/WP:PRIMARY.

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!

Ripple Lawsuit

Ripple is the company that owns the digital asset XRP. XRP is most commonly known to help with cross boarder payments. This would assist in sending and receiving money within a matter of seconds anywhere across the world. In December of 2020, the value of XRP was starting to go upwards of $1.50 per token. Almost a 60% move in less than a week. During this time the SEC decided file a lawsuit against Ripple for selling XRP as unregistered securities. This caused the value of XRP to drop by 50% in less than 24 hours. They have been battling this lawsuit since the peak of the pandemic. After numerous trials, the court has finally decided to have both parties come up with a final decision. The general consensus is that there will either be a settlement or the court will rule that Ripple is not selling XRP as unregistered securities. If the court decides that XRP is not a security, than people are anticipating that the value of XRP will increase dramatically. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevincao13 (talk • contribs) 03:31, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request to Ripple's XRP (payment protocol) has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

"Ripple" should be replaced with "XRP" or "Ripple's XRP" as XRP is the DLT-Blockchain Protocol while Ripple, Inc. is the company that designed it. 160.83.72.101 (talk) 20:44, 15 March 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. Where should this change be made? GiovanniSidwell (talk) 20:50, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article could use an update. XRP (the crypto currency) automatically redirects to Ripple (the company). Its a bit like saying Microsoft and Windows are the same thing. But if Microsoft went bankrupt, Windows the software will continue to operate just fine. XRPs are sold and transfered in the secondary marked, and it has nothing to do with Ripple any more. Further, XRP is not on trial. Ripple executives are on trial for selling XRP, which is a different matter. 79.161.216.232 (talk) 08:14, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
