Talk:Structured settlement factoring transaction

message: My name is Matt Bracy.  Thank you for your interest in developing a "structured settlement factoring transaction" article on Wikipedia.  This article was first drafted on September 22, 2006.  Please join in planning, improving, and expanding this article.  I look forward to seeing your edits and improvements to this page so this article can be a resource for valuable and objective information.
Hello everyone,
A few months ago I added a structured settlement factoring discount rate calculator link to the discount rate section of the Structured settlement factoring transaction page. 
A month later an individual created an account and has been undoing my edit, removing the link.
Here are my thoughts on why this calculator is vital to this page. 
1) Annuitants, judges, financial professionals and others do not have a practical way to calculate the discount rate of a structured settlement factoring transaction. 
2) Structured settlement factoring transactions have received a bad rap in the past because of the future value vs present value math equation most people use to calculate price (i.e. simple math vs. discount rate).   
3) The individual (Factoring 10) stated that the website where the calculator is shown is a commercial site. Comment: It looks like you can take this calculator's code and place it on another website (non commercial- future option) 
a) This website http://structuredsettlements.typepad.com/structured_settlements_4r/structured-settlement-factoring-discount-rate-calculator.html appears to have the same calculator as the original and is a blog from an authority figure in the primary market. Should we provide a link to this page?
b) Can we find another venue (website) to place this calculator so annuitants, judges, and financial professionals will have access to it?
Any comments will be helpful on this matter.

replies: text: Probably not.  The Telegraph obituary says he was "rejected", and the interview with the man himself makes a distinction between what happened to him and the normal procedures of either refusing an appointment or declaring someone persona non grata after they have arrived.  I'm also dubious about the reason given for the rejection (Jewish ancestry).  The Telegraph says background (which is ambiguous), while the interview implies it was because they discovered he was Jewish.  I'll change the text to match both these points.

I expanded and moved the comic book appearances to the top, as Thrakkorzog appeared in the comics first, I believe it takes precedence over the animated series.  Also added infobox.
I edited the discussion of the animated series to formalize the language.
I deleted the dialog between the Tick and Thrakkorzog, because I don't think that it really added anything to explain Thrakkorzog as a character and it might also violate copyright.
:Yes, but it's funny. I think a small snippet of dialogue would constitute fair use. You're not reproducing the entire script, after all.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.167.136.139 (talk) 08:32, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Asiatic Exclusion League

message: during the voncuvouver riots, is there any chinese people were killed? with sources please. Jackzhp 20:24, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nothing in Vancouver's local historiography indicates any deaths, but a UBC student recently found such claims in contemporary Taiwanese newspapers. I wouldn't take it as hard evidence that there were actually deaths, but it does raise the possibility. The standard story is that the rioters destroyed property in Chinatown, but physical confrontation didn't occur until they reached Japantown, where Japanese residents, who had advance warning of what was coming, fought back. A classic account of the riots is in White Canada Forever by Peter Ward. bobanny 20:48, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am afraid that Chinese people was/is just not able to defend themselves, and not able to take action to report and complain to the government. Jackzhp 20:29, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They did protest what happened with a strike following the riot. There was also a government inquiry into what happened where they voiced their concerns and demanded compensation for damages. I'm guessing you're not in Canada? Official discrimination ended after WWII, and today, although there's still racism, the Chinese are a large and powerful political constituency in Vancouver. There was recently a government apology and promise of redress for a head tax that was imposed on Chinese immigrants for decades and, as of next month, the city will have it's first Chinese police chief. bobanny 21:11, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Andean mountain cat

message: Hi, I'm a bit new to this, so I hope I can explain what I'm asking about right. ^^; I've known this cat by 'Andean Highland Cat' as well as just 'Mountain Cat' or 'Andean Mountain Cat' like was mentioned in the article, along with the 'Andean Cat' name used. All of these names bring up the same cat in a google search. Is there any way it can be made so some or all of these searches will redirect to this page? It was kind of difficult to find this, because searches for 'Andean Highland Cat' and 'Mountain Cat' didn't bring me to a specific article, it just gave similar ones (that this one was in.) I think since the names are used interchangably, that it might be good to redirect to here. 
The second thing I was wondering about was that in a book I own, where I first found out about the Andean Highland Cat, it mentioned "From anatomical evidence, we discover it has a unique skull--apparently two skulls partitioned by a thin membrane." (From 'The Complete Kitten & Cat Book' by Norman H. Johnson, D.V.M. with Saul Galin, copyright 1979 published 1993 by First Galahad Books.) The Andean Highland Cat is mentioned on page 316. I haven't found any mention of this information about the skull elsewhere, so I'm not sure it's entirely factual; any idea, and should a mention of it be included in the article? - Indy Gold 17:57, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
