Talk:Return on investment

message: Someone please make this page redirect to rate of return instead, and optionally merge the content.
I don't know what term is more common "return on investment" or "rate of return", so a rename is perhaps a good idea also after researching this.
(Sorry for not being able to do these changes myself).
:Rate of Investment is more common parlance in UK project management. Added reference in "See Also" list.ComplyAnt (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 11:36, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

:Cleaned up the article a bit to: add external reference to non-marketing definition; removed US bias ($ changed to "money") and put content under relevant sections. ComplyAnt (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 11:39, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Return on investment (%) = Net profit ($) / Investment ($) * 100 %
The equation above implies incorrectly that you are to multiply by 1.00  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ragaar (talk • contribs) 15:26, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge Pages? 

message: Recently there have been repeated edits by IP user 70.81.235.50, who created a tutorial-style "Example" section; those edits were reverted by other users. Such a section violates WP:NOTHOWTO and would do so even if it were properly sourced. 
The edit summary of one reversion asked the IP user to discuss the issue on the article's talk page, which the IP user has not done yet, but perhaps that person will read the talk page. The edit summaries of other reversions explained that the IP user's edits violated Wikipedia:Core content policies regarding WP:POV, WP:OR, and a reliable, published source. The IP user's edits included calculations that do not qualify as routine calculations, which are further explained in this essay. The IP user's edits also violated WP:EDITWARRING.  --Rich Janis (talk) 16:21, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The editor in question, , has been repeatedly warned that the material is original research and asked to discuss the issue, both in edit summaries (here and on two other articles) and on their talk page. Having ignored those requests repeatedly, they are currently on their second block. It's not going well. - SummerPhD (talk) 17:27, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
