Talk:Electoral reform

message: Consider looking into this.  It started as findings from Occupy working group on electoral reform in 2011, morphed into an 11 point proposal based on information harvested from a wide number of stakeholders as shown at http://bigbatusa.org, and recently has been in a book that made #1 at Amazon in Civics Kindle, briefly, Open Power: Electoral Reform Act of 2015 - Open Source Activist Tool-Kit. The home page tiny url /OpenPower has been blocked for reasons beyond my comprehension, further confirming my view that Wikipedia suffers from too many abusers.

message: The merge proposal with sex work failed so it would be best to more clearly differentiate the two articles. There were only vague points made in how the topics are different, so I looked to other similar comparisons, like healthcare and healthcare industry. As the short description for healthcare industry says it is the 'economic sector focused on health', it would help to make this article about the industry aspect and shift the other content to the sex work article.

thread_title:  Frayed cord in main picture? 

message: I recently came across quite by chance a hard-copy dated June 1987 where it is stated that Chris Baker invented this as part of the Oxford University Dangerous Sports Club group.In the PBS show cited, Geoff Tabin himself self-claims to have "invented" bungee jumping in Oxford, England in exchange for beer .I don't know whether PBS is recognised as a reliable source and similarly whether someone making an otherwise-unsubstantiated verbal claim in 2017 relating to 40 years earlier is acceptable, but I don't care to undertake down-time research on this small point as I surmise some of it to be amateur. Similarly, the date of the event showing him wearing a white tux for a jump is unclear when compared to the WP prose (looks like a US-setting).The 2014 BBC piece cited states that the first jump was in April 1979, but does not mention Chris Baker. Would Geoff Tabin have been present in (or prior to) April 1979? Would he have been involved from 1979, but made a jump wearing white three years later? I've looked at his professional bio and there are no dates whatsoever.I don't propose to change any of the prose presently (there is insufficient evidence he took part in the first jump), which interestingly asserts he was an experienced mountaineer who tied the ropes (presumably from this ref, which appears to be permanently deadlinked http://library.thinkquest.org/C0123122/historybungee.htm), but I will place here for posterity the 1987 citation (from a companion/sister magazine to Motor Sport).Motorcycle Sport, June 1987, pp.253-254.

replies: text: Something I would have thought this article might address... What actually is an index; what does it measure, how is it calculated, how is it used.

thread_title:  What is a Stock Market index? 

message: In the Definition Addendum it is stated that a stock market index can be traded.  That is not correct - you cannot own or trade an index.  What you can do is own a share of an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) which is constructed using the same structure and wieghting as an index, therefore it will follow the index exactly.  Or you can buy (or sell) stock options based on the preformance of the index.  In other words, you can own something that looks like the index or derives it's value from the index, but to say that you can own the index is incorrect. 173.197.29.146 (talk) 21:49, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Risk

message: I think most of the problems with definitions have been sorted or at least improved now. It is unlikely everyone will agree on a singe definition but the main authorities have been referenced and different views acknowledged.
The main problem in my opinion is the numerous contributions on diverse topics that would be better addressed in more specialized articles. I think all the "Risk" article really needs (apart from definitions) is acknowledgement of different approaches and some links to the other articles. Moving the existing text and integrating it into other articles is probably unrealistic, given that many of these other articles also have multiple issues. 
Therefore I propose to delete the discursive text, where it is obsolete, not suitable as a summary, not referenced, duplicated or paraphrased elsewhere. Comments welcome before I begin.

Such claims are rarely explained or defended, however, and it is not clear how they should be assessed.
