Talk:Tax file number

message: The initial section of this article is not up to encyclopedia standards. Some history needs to be given either in it or in its own section. For example, rather than saying "In the past", the section should give a precise date when the TFN was introduced and give a citation. Rather than saying "Now", it should give the precise date that 9 digit TFNs became standard and give a citation. Rather than saying "in the future", it should give the precise date that 10 digit TFNs are proposed to be introduced and give a citation.Robert P. O'Shea (talk) 19:10, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: History needed

message: I'm reinstating the worked algorithm (for the second time).
This is consistent with the following pages which describe the equivalent numbers in other juristdictions, along with detailed descriptions of their algorithms or worked examples:
:Social Security number describes valid numbers, the number has no check digit.
:National Insurance number, the British equivalent, dedicates quite a bit of space to valid structures for the number
:Canada's Social Insurance Number includes a worked example, I'm planning on simplifying our worked example to match theirs.
:France's INSEE code includes a description of the validity check - simpler than the TFN's so less space required.
:The Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas in Brazil even includes code snippets for a validation algorithm.
:Ireland's Personal Public Service Number also contains a worked example.
In fact every number I've found which uses a check digit algorithm includes either a quick description of the algorithm (in simple cases), or a worked example (in complex ones).
I'll grant that the examples of pass and fail are unnecessary, so this time they're being left out in favour of a more terse version.

Talk:Presto card

message: When something is "loaded on the card", is it actually stored on the card itself, or does the card merely provide a unique ID and the attached data is stored in a central database? —Naddy (talk) 14:45, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Where is the data stored? 

message: Presto has been subject to many headlines, especially with the TTC. This includes presto gates failing, being subject to hacks, miscalculated fares on TTC, etc...
Is it appropriate to add a separate section such as Presto Incidents or Controversy?
:"Controversy" sections are, well, controversial. It's better to include (properly sourced) mention of any such incidents or coverage within the existing article where appropriate. This is addressed in WP:NPOV, specifically in WP:POVNAMING, WP:STRUCTURE, and WP:UNDUE. I would advise against a separate section given the NPOV policy but if properly sourced and widely covered by reliable sources, mention of issues with Presto is fine. —Joeyconnick (talk) 06:39, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Add Presto Controversy 

message: I propose moving the section Presto card#TTC participation to a new section, TTC fares#History#Presto fare media, in order to keep Toronto Presto history together. Entries in the rollout table (Presto card#Rollout)and a few other entries elsewhere would remain in the Presto card article. Thus, when a Presto event becomes history in TTC fares, we would move it to TTC fares#History#Presto fare media instead of Presto card#TTC participation. I would add Toronto Transit Commission fares to Presto card#See also. Any comments? TheTrolleyPole (talk) 20:16, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Where in Toronto Transit Commission fares#History are you proposing to put the "Presto fare media" section? I assume at the end since it's the most recent type of fare media?

message: Damon Westmoreland is scamming shareholders of GreenZap and must be stopped.  He sold GreenZap but has neglected to announce it.  It is interesting to note he sold it to Larry Wilcox - the LA actor who starred in CHIPs and Lassie.  Damon illegaly collected (and continues to) the proceeds from the sale.  He has kept the proceeds without distributing them to the shareholders.  Fees associated with the sale were not paid as well.  This guy is a habitual liar and thief and really should be stopped.  What he and Mr. Wilcox are doing is nothing but a complete scam.  Security Exchange Commission should be notified.

thread_title:  Interesting 

message: I've just reverted an edit which said (in essence) that memory cards cannot be compatible with 14443. However 14443 only covers up to transmission layer protocol - it does not describe an application layer protocol (such as ISO/IEC 7816-4). So far as I can see, there is nothing in 14443 that prevents it being used by a memory card. The edit that I reverted also mentioned some specific cards, saying that they were not compliant because they were memory cards. While those specific cards may not be compliant, it is not because they are memory cards.  If someone wants to restore some of this edit, please:
* Cite the 14443 part and clause that prevents it from working with memory cards, and/or
* Reword the mentions of specific cards which comply so that the compliance is not conditional on their being more than memory cards. (I can't see the point in listing cards that do not comply.)

Talk:Ebionites/Spiritual Ebionite Archive

The talk sections below the article detail the issues involved and how the RFC was resolved.  Ovadyah 18:20, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The new links added by an anonymous user are to a group more widely known as the Nazirene Essenes.  Their founder, Allan Cronshaw, claims to be Jacob who lived as the Brother of Jesus, and lived in the fourth century as an Ebionite Elder named Matthew.  Nothing against them, but they seem to fit better under Gnosticism. --Ovadyah 22:41, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I need to make a small point here, but an important one.  If you disagree with the findings of who Allan Cronshaw is or what he represents, that's fine, but make your comments in your own name.  It is dishonest to edit someone else's opinions to make your words come out of another persons mouth.  Thank you. --Ovadyah 20:47, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Ebionites are not gnostics.  This group certainly is, or some new age mystical facsimile.  The creator of the linked pages is a self-described mystic  who believes he is a reincarnation of something or other .  This has as much to do with Ebionism as vegetarianism.  My apologies to the Nazorean Essenes, who are another gnostic group. --Ovadyah 17:39, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: New Links

message: NazireneMystic,
Do not reinsert the spiritual ebonites section until there is a consensus to do so.  Right now, there has not been a consensus among the editors here that the material should be included in the article. By all means, continue to post here on the talk page in an attempt to create such a consensus, but do not simply add the material back into the article yourself. 
I've explained why I do not feel that your group is large enough yet to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia.  One way to change our minds would be to produce evidence that your group has been mentioned by a major media outlet or scholarly journal.  If it hasn't ben mentioned in that way yet, you could contact scholars and reporters directly and suggest that they hear your views and report on them.  That would certainly alert a lot of people to your beliefs.

Talk:Masao Adachi

message: The article currently claims that Adachi became a Stasi agent in 1987. Now, that's a serious claim, and I'm concerned that we don't have enough evidence for it. The claim has a single citation, to a German-language news article published by Heise Online. I don't speak German (although the Bing translation I did on the article was surprisingly coherent). Several questions: Is Heise Online reliable? Does it have an agenda? The article opens with the claim that Adachi was a Japanese Red Army leader. This contradicts most of what I've hard about the JRA; while Adachi was certainly in Lebanon with the militant group, I've never heard of him having been a leader, which causes me to doubt the accuracy of the Heise Online article. A Google search for "Masao Adachi Stasi" reveals mostly mirrors of the Hesie article or mirrors of this Wiki article, which is based on the Heise article. So, are there any other reliable sources out there making this claim about Adachi (and preferably in English, so more people on English Wikipedia can evaluate them)? Tigercompanion25 (talk) 04:54, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: And I think it worth noting that the Stasi claim and the citation were added by an unregistered user whose entire edit history consists of two edits to this page, both of which-- the Stasi claim and the claim that he was in Lebanon to plan terror attacks (this one without a source-- could be interpreted as suggesting an animus against Adachi. Tigercompanion25 (talk) 04:57, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

message: It's very hard to find convincing proof that these financial instruments actually existed.  France's 18th Century Assignats and Mandats are in museums and collectors hands.

replies: text: MEFO bills were, by decree, to be accepted at any German bank and were payable in RM with a discount %. So hypothetically you do a million RM deal for bullets, get paid 1.1M in MEFO bills and deposit the bill at a German bank and are paid 1M in RM, give or take. The bank can present the MEFO bill to the central bank and get the million it put out refunded and the central bank just prints up the money. But since it is a MEFO bill and not actual government debt, the transaction doesn't have to go on the government's books and so long as nobody looks at the books, the inflation is hidden from the public. The quantity and even existence of MEFO bills, I understand, was a state secret that was not revealed until after the war. TMLutas (talk) 18:40, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Mondex

message: Ha! I can't believe that Wikipedia would allow this misinformation to exist on their site. It just goes to show that the webmasters are not looking at the information and verifing the credibility of the posts. Just as an FYI for those out there who are quaking in their boots right now. MONDEX ONLY produced SMART CARDS, not biological implants! Verichip is NOT ASSOCIATED at all with Mondex. This information is bunk!
Oh, just to give you information on the words Mon Dex -
The Greek word for Right-Hand is Dexioserious, another variation is dexiteros (not Dexter, as you have been misinformed)
The Greek words for Money (we will start with the Ms) are; Mesenguema, Meon, Misarguria, and Mna (not Monatary). I could list hundreds of additional words that the Greek language can use for money.
The word Mondex means nothing at all in Greek.
Now, that having been said, the company Mondex drives it's name from Monde (meaning World) which makes sense considering they are looking to replace normal currency with their smart cards (not biometric chips).
French;
Money: Argent
Right-Hand: main droite
World: Monde (MONDEx)
Just a couple of facts from someone who worked on Mondex in its early days:
1) The name Mondex was intended to suggest "Money" "Monde" (French for world) and perhaps "Exchange", since an important part of the design was the ability to hold multiple currencies on one card.
2) A previous version of this page referred to a "religious controversy" in which Mondex was linked the Book of Revelation and 666 as the Number of the Beast. This was deleted as being uncited. Nevertheless, such accusations were made in the press at the time.
