Talk:Xeelee Sequence

message: From what I've read, these books don't really forum a series in the usual sense; they're more like several different series and some stand-alone works sharing the same setting. Should this be moved to "Xeelee universe", with Xeelee Sequence possibly used to refer to a specific set of books in the universe?
Also, when making chronological lists, I prefer to sort by when the last scene in each book or sub-series is - basically try to have each one advance the overall history a little past the end of the previous one. --68.44.13.236 05:04, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

I got one basic question: how do the Xeelee look like? I know that they are so advanced that 
they probably can take any form they want or don't need physical bodies at all,but
there had to be time when they were biological beings like any other. After all humans have been at war with them
for some unbelievably long time so they had to find something that would give a clue about Xeelee's original form and evolution.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.150.48.89 (talk) 23:10, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Asset-backed security

message: while also reducing risk by diversifying the underlying assets.
This is a fairly common misunderstanding as the diversification only reduces the standard deviation of the risk but not the risk overall. Means: The chance to get struck by an unusual high (or low) failure falls and the risk will be nearer to the statistical average but that´s not the risk itself.
The variance IS the risk.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.222.90.170 (talk) 17:07, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  correction 

message: Why is it claimed in the article that ABS are of the kind of "bankruptcy remoteness"? Must ABS always be issued by an SPV/SPE or can ABS be also issued by the originator? For example, Bank A holds chashflow producing assets, and it issues an ABS based on those cashflow producing assets. The issuer of the ABS would be Bank A, and no SPV/SPE would be created for that purpose. This sort of ABS would not be of the kinda of "bankruptcy remoteness" and in my view still be ABS (against the view presented in the article)? /Fin_Pat
:ABS can be issued by the originator, although the practice is to remove it even from the effective issuer - as in, if Goldman wants to issue an MBS based on Northern Rock's mortgages, it will create an SPV and distance itself from the deal.

Portal talk:Visual arts/Selected picture

message: As it's been recognised as a Good Article, I've nominated Sistine Chapel ceiling as one of the pages to be 'selected' for this portal. I would have been bold and added it myself were it not for the fact that we already have the depiction of Jonah from the Sistine ceiling as a selected pic. So, for the sake of variety, might it be a good idea to choose another image to illustrate the technique of fresco? My personal favourite to replace Jonah would be the image at right, from Masaccio's Brancacci Chapel cycle in Florence, which was almost as influential as the Sistine ceiling. Possibly more importantly for the purposes of this portal, the reproduction is of pretty  high quality – enlarge it to see what I mean. Other options could be the more famous frescoes of the Journey of the Magi by Gozzoli or the Birth of the Virgin by Ghirlandaio, but personally I'd prefer this lesser-known part of the Brancacci cycle.

Category talk:Compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach

message: Every Bach composition should have its own article, though it is sensible to begin with that collections go in one article - e.g. French suites, English suites, well-tempered clavier, clavier-ubung 3, and so on. Every cantata should have its own article. 
The title format for each article should be its name followed by BWV number in most cases - e.g. Prelude and Fugue in C major, BWV 531 - this makes it clear it is by Bach and also exactly which composition it refers to, in the commonly denoted way. In multiple-title names, it should be e.g. Partitas, BWV 825-830 - properly with a long-dash in the middle. For very well-known titles, such as 'well-tempered clavier' (and when Bach is clearly the only one to have written a piece with the title), the BWV numbers can be omitted. I've used (J. S. Bach) as a modifier for 'harpsichord concertos' because they are not continuous in BWV numbers and are not a unified set - so these naming rules can be modified where it is sensible to do so.
In each case, the BWV number should also be made as a redirect to the article in question: e.g. BWV 531 would redirect to Prelude and Fugue in C major, BWV 531. This makes linking to Bach compositions extremely easy - just use the BWV number - when otherwise confusion might arise about what the exact title was. It also makes it easier to find the article direct through a search. 
In the case of multiple articles, each BWV number should be linked in a similar way to the title - so for Brandenburg Concertos, I've linked BWV 1046 and BWV 1047 and so on up to BWV 1051, all to the article. Only when the multiple articles get too long should there be an article about each piece in a unified set - and we are nowhere near this stage yet on any of the collections.
In writing articles on individual compositions, the use of pictures of musical examples, especially of themes, etc., should ideally be included - see Sonata on the 94th Psalm for an example of how I've done this. As the music is public domain in most editions, this can be easy to capture with picture editing software or a camera.
