message: It's not easy to immediately check the source since it's a physical book, but this line sounds pretty suspect: "The inclusion of six active buttons was influenced by the popularity of the Street Fighter arcade series, which utilized six buttons.[3]"  The original Street Fighter was not a world-changing success, and while Street Fighter II was, it didn't release until months after the Super Famicom.

message: PIE citation forms are in e-grade, not o-grade; and if that h is meant to be a laryngeal, you should indicate which one it is.

replies: text: Actually, if you're citing "wheel" than the o-grade is supposed to be there (and the laryngeal as well, as you say). The noun is *rotH₂-eH₂ (the feminine is in -eH₂), hence Latin rotā and Sanskrit ratha. O-grades are typical in deverbal noun formation.

thread_title:  Indo-European Names (Ethnozoonym) 

message: The BS is very strong in this article. A lot of sweeping proclamations based on extremely little evidence. And probably will be revealed to be full of errors in a couple of decades. For example, section Patron-client states that there was a *w(n)nakts who was a king, presumably based on an older etymology of the Greek anax, however Beekes in his recent, fairly authoritative Greek etymological dictionary states that anax does not have an IE etymology and is Pre-Greek. Most of the claims about the legal system, cannabis use, charms against worms, poets being rewarded by women, are utter garbage testifying only to the overactive imaginations of linguists (who are mostly, btw, receiving their salaries from taxpayer money to work on stuff like this). This is not science, just amusing fairy tales. It's all based on nothing, possibly dubious etymologies that are assumed to have revelatory significance. There should be a disclaimer at the top of the page: "an artist's impression". 46.109.77.155 (talk) 02:41, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Deposit creation multiplier

message: Consider an initial deposit at a commercial bank. Because of this deposit (called a primary deposit), the bank is holding currency. To make a profit for its investors, the bank loans this money out. The person that gets the loan spends the money which will eventually be deposited in a bank. This second deposit is referred to as a derivative deposit or secondary deposit. Any of these additional derivative deposits increase the amount of the money supply.
Some governments (or their central banks) restrict the proportion of primary deposits that can be lent out. This is called the cash reserve ratio. For example, lets assume that a primary deposit of $1000 is made into bank A. If the cash reserve ratio is 12%, then $120 must be kept on hand by the bank and $880 is available to be lent to someone else (called the excess reserve). Now if bank A uses its $880 in excess reserve by lending it out, and that is deposited in bank B, it represents a primary deposit to the second bank. Bank B must keep 12% of $880 on hand but can lend out $774.40. If that $774.40 is eventually deposited in bank C, the third bank must keep $92.93 on hand but can lend out $681.47. The process continues until there is no excess reserve left (For simplicity we will ignore safety reserves.). By adding all the derivative deposits we can calculate the amount of money created. Alternatively we can use the deposit multiplier equation:
:TD = ID / crr
where
:TD=change in Total Deposits
:ID=Initial change in Deposit
:crr=cash reserve ratio 
The initial change in deposit of $1000 will increase total deposits by $7333.33 given a reserve ratio of 12% (1000/.12=8333.33).
In actual fact, the money creation multiplier is more complex than this simple description. We must add to the equation the currency drain ratio (the propensity of the public to hold cash rather than deposit it in the banking system),the clearing house drain (the loss of deposits from the system due to interactions between banks), and the safety reserve ratio (excess reserves beyond the legal requirement that commercial banks voluntarily hold - usually a very small amount). Also, most jurisdictions require different levels of reserves for different types of deposits. Foreign currency deposits, domestic time deposits, and government deposits often have different reserve ratios.
The USA is an example of a nation where the central bank regulates cash reserver ratios. Australia is an example of a nation where there is no such regulation.

thread_title: Cleanup

message: I watched this film about a year ago. Reading the awfully long plot summary, I can remember many events in the movie. But I have to agree that the "plot summary is too long" tag is justified in this case. But I don't want to go to the extreme of chopping it down to something like:
:Two brothers are drafted into the army. One has heart defect. Other promises to win medal in fight against North Koreans so brother can go home. But he then starts to like the adrenalin rush of fighting. They see some massacres. Brave brother earns medal but then switches to the North Korean side. Eventually the two brothers meet in battle and the one without the heart defect dies. His remains are found 50 years later.
Hopefully someone else who has seen the film more recently can do a better job of boiling this down to the essential details. たろ人 (talk) 21:30, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Finite groups are Lie groups? 

message: The first section after the introduction, Compact groups, reads as follows:
"''
Lie groups form a class of topological groups, and the compact Lie groups have a particularly well-developed theory. Basic examples of compact Lie groups include Section 1.2
* the circle group T and the torus groups Tn,
* the orthogonal groups O(n), the special orthogonal group SO(n) and its covering spin group Spin(n),
* the unitary group U(n) and the special unitary group SU(n),
* the compact forms of the exceptional Lie groups: G2, F4, E6, E7, and E8,
The classification theorem of compact Lie groups states that up to finite extensions and finite covers this exhausts the list of examples (which already includes some redundancies). This classification is described in more detail in the next subsection.
"
But even something as simple as the product of a compact nonabelian Lie group (necessarily of dimension ≥ 3) with the circle group seems to be a counterexample.
Is this correct? Can someone who is knowledgeable in this subject please please clarify this? Thank you. 2601:200:C000:1A0:2C05:9DCB:77A0:C778 (talk) 01:18, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

message: Right now, various editors are in the process of adding categories like :Category:1967 Toronto Maple Leafs Stanley Cup Championship Team to articles.  I'm not sure this is wise.  But if we are going to have it, then we should make it a sub-category of :Category:Stanley Cup champions, and once a player is added to the more specific cat, they should be removed from the more general cat, even if they won more than one cup.  Some players are going to end up being in multiples categories of this type (e.g. 6 for Mark Messier), and their names are quite long and ugly.
