Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/William M. Connolley

message: Well, the next step would typically be let the bureaucrats that are familiar with the process handle it. I'm not sure why you insist on commenting in innapropriate places and changing this nomination against all RFA conventions. If you don't know what the consensus standards are, surely you must reallize that since almost every other RFA nomination goes smoothly, someone does, and there is no need to ask on the top of the nomination. For the record, if you've followed the RFA discussions, the generally agreed upon standards are above 80% is a shoe in, 75-80 is bureacrat discretion zone, depending on their interpretation of the comments, etc, and less is no consensus so no promotion. It's less, so typically this case would not be promoted, though I won't speak for Jim or Mark. As a bureaucrat, you can close the nomination if you like, but notice there are a number of steps involved for the process to go smoothly. Also note, letting nominations go without comments until one of the other bureaucrats has a chance to do it is not a problem, since consensus is what we are after, not strict vote closing times. Your behavior in this case is unusual at the very best. - Taxman Talk 16:03, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
:Thanks (I think). I'm inclined to just go ahead and make William an admin anyway. I did that for Cecropia (if anyone remembers that far back) and it worked out superbly. I will think about this for a few hours and then ... gosh, who knows what this Ed Poor character will do next?! --Uncle Ed 16:36, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
::I sincerely hope you're joking, Ed. That would, for all the obvious reasons be wildly inappropriate. IMHO, you're too closely involved with this user to be involved in closing the RfA and for a bureaucrat to ignore community consensus and precedent would be a serious step. -Splash 16:47, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree completely. It doesn't matter whether Ed promoted or rejected, there would be chaos either way. Even if Ed weren't closely involved with WMC, the fact that Ed asked mere hours ago "What's our next step?" wouldn't instill people with confidence that process was followed. There's plenty of active bureaucrats to close this one. Let's wait a bit. Carbonite | Talk 16:55, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

text: There is not a consensus to promote the user.  Not in the vote, and not even in this discussion!  However, the vote is fairly close to consensus, so I suggest extending it for 24 hours to see if consensus is reached.  If consensus to promote is not achieved by then, the nomination will have failed.  With a small majority in favour of promotion, in that instance, I would strongly urge renomination in a month or so (i.e. Cecropia's option 1). Warofdreams 17:45, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

message: As a tank commander, it's very unlikely Terence Young fought at Arnhem itself, as the tanks never crossed the bridge at Arnhem.  I would guess he was part of the Operation Market-Garden and faught on the corridor to Arnhem, trying to rescue/relieve the british 1st Airborne beleaguered in Arnhem  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.42.80.225 (talk) 21:52, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Early Life 

message: Sadly there doesn't ever seem to have been a full biography of Young, but this piece on p.119 of the St. Catherine's college newsletter seems to point to a lot of stuff here being inaccurate. Specifically:
*1) Young appears to have been an intelligence officer, not a tank-commander. The claim that he was with the Irish Guards specifically appears a bit dubious based on this - he could have been on the divisional staff.
*2) Young's full name appears to have been  Stewart Terence Herbert Young

message: This source claims that he was in the Welsh Guards, not the Irish Guards, though it says he was in the " Welsh Guards’ Armoured Tank Division", which is not something that ever existed AFAIK. This source also says "Welsh Guards Armoured Test Division" which is an even more strange name for a unit. For this reason I have removed the claim that he was in the Irish Guards, which anyway was without a source. FOARP (talk) 08:05, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

message: We're saying he was married to Dorothea Bennett. Dorothea Bennett died in 1985 according to our article on her, but the 1994 Times obituary says he was survived by his wife Dosia (i.e., Dorothea). Is the 1985 death-date wrong? Also some sources (e.g., the Sight & Sound obituary) describe him being married to someone else (an "Italian starlet" according to Sight & Sound, though other sources mention Sabine Sun, a french actress). For Sun at least this is a BLP situation so I'm not going to include any other details without better sourcing. FOARP (talk) 09:23, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Warrant (finance)

message: I am a little confused as to how a third party can issue a naked warrant when it is not the issuer of the instrument upon which the warrant is based.  In other words, how can a bank issue a promise that another party will issue stock at some point in the future?
Mike Black
: Good question. A third party cannot force the underlying issuer to issue new stock. They can however deliver existing stock. That's where the difference between warrants and stock options comes in. Warrants are options, which can force the issuer to issue new stock. Issuers of other stock options deliver shares that they've bought in the market. DocendoDiscimus 22:45, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I wonder where this difference comes from. Can you refer me to a source about this difference between stock options and warrants? I have seen contractual grants of options for purchase of shares that will be first issued upon exercise (employee stock options are just one example).

message: The article makes the following claim: "When a call option is exercised, the owner of the call option receives an existing share from an assigned call writer (except in the case of employee stock options, where new shares are created and issued by the company upon exercise)."
In general, I don't believe this is true. Generally, employee stock options are carved out the common for sequence of deals, e.g. Round A. In this sense, the options are already issued, and hence not created and issued upon exercise. This statement should probably be corrected, or at least modified to illustrate that employee options may also come from an existing pool of common stock.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.106.244.163 (talk) 22:06, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

message: "Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation.  The Transhumanist 00:09, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
