Talk:Foreign exchange option

message: Thanks, Nbarth, for explaining FX options in terms of an option on the exchange rate. I've always thought that to be the easiest and most direct way of thinking of FX options. Finnancier (talk) 03:32, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Explanation in terms of exchange rate

message: Thank you to who ever wrote this article to begin with.  As a non-finance minded individual, it might be easier to consider the whole page in terms of one example.  For instance, in the terms section, if you were able to relate the "ratio of notionals" explanation back to the earlier GBPUSD example, it might be easier to understand.  Additionally, if more explanation (or relation to the "example section" could be added to the "Hedging with FX Options" section, I think this would also help to clarify things.  I'm still not entirely clear on the point of Hedging with options.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.26.132.183 (talk) 07:47, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Foreign exchange swap

message: There needs to be some explanation of swap points, and how one can trade interest rate differentials. Finnancier 12:09, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. Finnancier 10:54, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Agreed. I have removed the paragraph that reads: "The fixed rate in this transaction is the forward rate that is locked in by the forward contract.  The floating rate will be the overnight rate that is realized on a daily basis by the spot transaction.  Typically, the floating side of these trades are indexed to the Overnight Index Swap (OIS) rate.  This rate is an average of the rates that are paid based on a survey." Are there other changes that need to be made? Finnancier 12:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Linked exchange rate system in Hong Kong

message: Richarocks (talk) 10:39, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

message: I suggest a change in the title of this article, as there are other currencies which are linked as well. Lithuania and Estonia for example also have their currencies linked to the Euro.
This article however refers only to the Hong Kong Dollar and therefore should be renamed into for example Hong Kong Dollar link to US Dollar

Talk:Germanic Iron Age

message: Wonderful timeline. I love the concept. I have a few small nags about the accuracy.
In the terminology, Ancylus and Litorina originally referred and still do refer to Baltic sea basin bodies of water: Ancylus lake, Litorina sea. As far as I know, the use of "age" there is someone's neologism. The bodies of water do not correspond to anything else, such as climate periods, pollen zones or archaeological periods. Are we sure we want to use them in that sense?
If we do use them in that  sense, then they are incomplete. Before Ancylus lake was Yoldia sea, and before that was Baltic ice lake. Now Baltic ice lake followed the last glaciation. So, Ancylus age cannot do so. Baltic ice lake started around 12600 BC more or less. The earlier times are off.
Usually in such time lines and charts you see rather the pollen zones or Blytt-Sernander periods. In the Holocene those would be Pre-boreal, Boreal, Atlantic, Sub-Boreal, etc. I suggest those replace "Ancylus age", etc. They are just as native to the Swedes as the lake/sea phases; in fact, the Swedes invented the names.
One last carp (sorry). The Palaeolithic goes on way too late. The Mesolithic starts in the Boreal in north Europe, about the time of Yoldia sea, although some say earlier. It depends on where you mean. There was already a full-blown neolithic in the Mediterranean lands.
Here are some articles in this encyclopedia that should shed some light: Baltic sea, Ice age, Baltic ice lake, Yoldia sea, pollen zone, Blytt-Sernander, Boreal (period), Atlantic (period). I've been doing some work on some of these articles with a view of eventually getting around to such topics as the one in this article as well as the known identities that emerged from it, but I have "miles to go before I sleep." When I do get here I hope I will not have to do anything.Dave 15:36, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

"If the same information can be conveyed multiple ways while following NPOV, the less offensive is generally preferred but the offensiveness must be balanced against other editorial concerns."
Readin (talk) 13:56, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The criterion of offensiveness (i.e. "Wikipedia does not mind it some people find contents of it offensive") is supposed to apply only on cited texts. If some person states something or other that people may find offensive, the statement can be included in a relevant article. It should be self-evident that the rest of the text, and specifically the text written by Wikipedia editors, should be written without the editor taking sides. Using controversial or judgmental terms is clearly taking sides. -The Gnome (talk) 10:39, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needlessly offensive 

message: It is a choice to be offended or not by things you see or hear. Some people are offended by factual statements and information which then get removed from Wikipedia, for example, calling president Obama an African American when he is in fact mixed race, his mom was white, and fully American as he was born in the usa. An African American would truly be one who was born in Africa and came to the usa. But state these logically irrefutable facts on Obama's wiki, and they get removed. They're offended by facts and I'm offended by their ignorance  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.47.127.61 (talk) 12:41, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

message: The link to mono as "the current esperantist international currency" seems wrong.  As I commented on that article, mono is a performance art prank, and one that most Esperantists have probably never heard of.  I don't believe it's a real currency and certainly not "the" currency of the Esperanto community.  Well, in that sense "spesmilo" and "stelo" were never "the" currency of the Esperanto community; they were just ideas proposed by a few people, that may have gained some interested from some part of the community.  But "mono" isn't even that -- it's some guy who printed up pieces of paper as an art project.  -- Jacob Schwartz  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.47.146.202 (talk) 23:44, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Compressed tea

message: To what extent were Tea Bricks used in Colonial America? Can this be addressed in the article? Thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lbeaumont (talk • contribs) 12:18, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have not seen this addressed in writing in a reliable, citable source, but a docent at James Monroe's Virginia residence, Ash Lawn–Highland, who presented himself as a member of the history faculty at the University of Virginia showed us a tea-brick in the kitchen and told us that brick tea was widely used - in fact the standard form of tea - in the colonies and in the fledgeling United States into the 19th Century.  I believe it was mentioned in connection with the Lewis and Clark expedition, but I am not certain I am recalling correctly. Assuming the docent was not just making this up, he must have had sources upon which to draw so presumably the information is out there, if not yet here. 72.49.43.222 (talk) 06:43, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

message: I have changed my username from my real name Nicolaas J Smith to Herbou which is not for the purpose of being a sock puppet. 
I can see the logic of not using your real name. Using your real name always leads to COI. 
I may be adding to this article but not as a sock puppet of Nicolaas J Smith.
I may ask for the username Nicolaas J Smith to be deleted. I have not yet done that.
I better do it straight away so as not to technically be a sock puppet of Nicolaas J Smith.

thread_title:  Nationality of Person 

message: There seems to some confusion about the spelling of the name of the personality. 
Is it Khudiram Bose or Kshudiram Basu? 
Secondly, in case of Prafulla Chaki there is link to Bangalpedia and the same incidence which made both of them popular. But in case of Kshudiram Basu, the photograph is quite similar to Banglapedia but spellings are different. Also, there is no reference to Banglapedia. 
I believe that master editors should look into the articles mentioned above. I understand that Wikipedia has well defined policy of showing the photographs but here the similarity with Banglapedia picture is so deafening that it raises the doubt that it has been merely lifted from there. It may be other way round also. 
As far my role and contribution is concerned, I assure to contribute to these articles as per my capability and research.

What need is this article serving if not helping us quantify/understand the value of the work we perform?  Is our time/energy not so valuable?  What does wood finishing accomplish for us?
