Talk:Remittance

message: I put up a proposal to merge this page with Remittances from overseas.  These articles cover the same topic.  The question is which title to use.  I think "remittances" works the best.--Bkwillwm 02:24, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge proposal

message: This article should be expanded to include just how much each of the countries in the mentioned regions benefit from remmitances.
what about africans?!! --Nonchablunt 20:53, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Which countries benefit

message: I added some external links to work on emergencies (of which I'm a part).  I'll look to add links to the leading development and finance institutes working on remittances next (unless someone else does it first).
eg world bank remittances research
asian development bank
inter-american development bank

thread_title:  Need to add research institutes and links to work 

message: It would be better if the table of "Top ten remittance recipient countries" instead listed the countries whose share of remittance in GDP is the highest, not absolute value. France might get 12 billion in remittances, but that's peanuts compared to its overall GDP as opposed to say, Haiti, which probably gets much less in absolute value but where the remittances are much larger relative to the overall size of the economy.radek (talk) 00:48, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Top ten remittance recipient countries 

message: The disambiguation notice at the top of the page is fairly useless; the article it links to does not mention remittance at all, indicating a need for it to be covered in the accounting sense on this article. Is there any reason why that meaning is not covered here? If not, is it worth tagging this article for the attention of someone who can explain the concept? me_and (talk) 13:35, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Useless disambiguation notice 

message: I just reverted two large additions that were put in by Pdevasconcelos. The text had no citations, but when I entered a chunk of the text into Google, it appeared to have been taken wholesale from other sources.Notmyrealname (talk) 21:53, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Please do not plagarize 

message: The UN Human Development Report for 2009 on migration includes references to a concept known as "social remittances," which is an explanation of the finding that origin communities of migrants tend to experience upticks in demographic measures such as female literacy and other social rather than purely economic factors. If there are more sources for this term, it might warrant inclusion in this article in a short subsection. --Thomas B♘talk 04:14, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Social Remittances 

message: A colleague and I would like to provide updated 2010 statistics from the World Bank on the section titled "Top recipient countries." We also would like a broad description of the economic benefits remittances provide for top recipient countries. For the subsection titled "Asia," we would like to add a more nuanced description of the Philippines and Latin America. Lastly, for the section titled "Potential security concerns," we are proposing to insert a link connecting it to the page Migrant worker. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

message: the following block of "references" was not used in ref-tags in the article and thus are hard to calssify. Additionally the first in the list is a dead link and most are poorly documenting of what they actually reference:

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: In normal usage, a remittance is a sum of money that is sent as a payment. The kind of remittances discussed in this article are an important phenomenon but I think it would be better to make it clear in the article title that its subject is not remittances in general but the specific kind discussed here. This is important because other articles (Balance (accounting), for example) that use remittance in its broader, more general sense, link to this article.
Related to this problem, the disambiguation is ineffective and misleading.

thread_title:  The kind of remittance discussed here is a specialized form, not the most common kind 

message: The text states that Timor-Leste has remittances above 200% of GDP. On one hand, I don't know how this is possible. On the other hand, this piece of data seems to suggest a number of 10-15%, which seems far more reasonable.

message: The word remittance is not solely referring to foreigners sending money. To present it so reeks of racial bias.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Wikipedia has a dearth of useful comparative information about notable fintech startups that have been shaking up the remittance industry. I was dismayed to find that most information about these companies made its way onto Wikipedia in the form of messy corporate PR attempts. People like me who are genuinely interested in how remittances affect the developing world do not want to scroll through bulky paragraphs about CEOs, funding rounds, advertising language, and awards. We want the articles to read more like UN and think tank reports. People looking around for remittance providers also just need to know the simple facts about the basic services offered, like which countries are available. As a result, I have been revamping these articles and adding categories to improve our knowledge of what the remittance market is actually like, while cleaning up corporate PR bias where it exists.
We can use articles like this to get started:
