Talk:Water supply and sanitation in Ecuador

message: This new section includes some content that is not appropriately referenced. The website of the USTDA indicated as a source does not seem to include the information inserted in the article. Other content uses a biased article on the Guayaquil concession as a source. That article itself includes some information that is not backed up by specific figures (e.g. on tariff increases) or puts information out of context (e.g. public water systems do not provide good quality drinking water in Ecuador either, while the charge is only made against the private concession). While it would be welcome to have more information on the Guayaquil concession in the article, it should be balanced, well-referenced and in a more appropriate section of the article (e.g. on service provision or history and recent developments). For the time being, I would suggest to remove the section, but would like to seek inputs from others before doing it.--Mschiffler (talk) 01:58, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) 

message: The rewritten introduction located here looks much better. I have noticed a couple of minor points; there are certain parts in which it is clear that the section has been based upon the essay. First the use of "is characterized by" (which is a very minor issue), and the second is "making municipalities highly dependent on financial transfers from the central government" (the second is mostly just a change in tense from the original). These are quite distinctive phrasings. This stems from there being the one source, and the attempt to alter it to be acceptable, rather than boiling it all down and building something new from the facts. For me, it seems as though using "financial transfers" is a little odd; I'm not sure that that phrasing would occur naturally without the original text; "central government investment" would probably be what I'd say, or even totally rephrasing the sentence.
One of the remaining challenges is limited cost recovery, making municipalities highly dependent on financial transfers from the central government. would become something like:
Municipalities rely overwhelmingly upon central government investment, rather than recouping the costs at a local level. I'm not well versed in the subject, so the meaning may not be spot on, but you get the point. –  Toon(talk) 18:13, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm sorry, I meant to explain earlier, and I thought I had. I moved this page from T40 to T38 in anticipation of expanding the article with more info on the T38. The T40 is basically 2 coupled T38s, so I thought it made sense to cover them together. Unfourtunately, the person who added so much info on the T40 did not use sources, and left WP right after I asked for specific cites. I had hoped that he would be able to add info on the T38 when I made the move, but that did not happen before he left. SInce then, I've had trouble tracking down specific info on the T38, or sourcing the T40 material. Hopefully at some point in the future, more info will be forthcoming. I'll try to rewrite the Lead in the next few days to reflect why this is at T38. At that point, I hope you won't feel that a move is necessary, or even a split.

thread_title: Contradiction

message: The article is not entirely misinformed, and the main body is correct, if incomplete, but in the examples it is in danger of confusing recommendation with statement of fact. 
The bald statement "High Tech is overweight" is ambiguous. There is a crucial difference between "I recommend you to go overweight in High Tech," and "your portfolio is overweight in High Tech." When a equity analyst recommends investors to "go overweight in High Tech," he means that in his opinion, share prices in the High Tech sector have the potential to perform better than the average in the market, whereas when your broker tells you "your portfolio is overweight High Tech," he is not expressing an opinion at all. He is stating a fact. He is informing you that High Tech shares make up a larger proportion of your portfolio than they do in the market index (the market index against which your portfolio is being compared, or "benchmarked"). Whether that is a good strategy or not is another matter, depending on whether the analysis that High Tech should be "overweight" is correct or not. "High Tech is overweight" could mean either of these. -- Jonazo (talk) 14:51, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

message: The article claims that these birds eat the seeds of Eucalyptus trees. This seems unlikely because Eucalyptus seeds are only about the size of a grain of sand, hard coated, with little endosperm, held within a woody capsule until released to fall to the ground and packed with unpalatable and toxic compounds. It seems incredible that a bird of this size would eat such tiny and hard-to-collect seeds at all, much less such highly toxic ones. Does anyone have a reputable reference for this claim, and if so can you elaborate how they collect such seeds.
