message: The link to equity is to something that has nothing to do with fundraising, as far as I can see. Unfortunately, the page at equity (economics) doesn't look right either. Something is missing here, any experts who can look into it? (IANAE)

thread_title:  Moving foward with this article 

message: From an insider at the ground level of structured finance, there are two major types of structured finance, asset backed and mortgage backed.  Regardless of which, the goal of both is to secure an entire bundle of loans together into a massive pool (valued in the low billions/upper hundreds of millions of dollars).  The pool is created in such a way and with a certain amount and type of loans so as to make the risk of CONSEQUENTIAL amounts of default of the ENTIRE POOL virtually nonexistent (think mixing low risk with high risk but more complex try searching "scratch and dent" and securitization).  For instance, an example of risk sheltering is done by the originator of the loan.  The originator (bank, financial institution etc) will bundle the loans and sell off 85-95% of the entire bundle, reserving 5-15% as a default cusion (much like putting 20% down on a home).  The bank would therefore suffer the first 5-15% loss on the pool, if any.  
Investors then purchase shares in the almost guaranteed income from interest and thereby return the money that was loaned out by the banks, back to the banks.  In the end, this process enables banks/financial institutions to make more loans, repeat the process and pick up a few hundred million or so a month.
Since it is essentially making thousands of 50-250k loans or making several large loans and breaking them up, selling most of the rights to the interest payments thereto, and in the end recovering 90% of the money that you initially had to loan out.  This process takes approximately 6 months from the day the loan is first contemplated.  Jan 1 contemplation, Jan 30 arrives at lawyers, March 30 Closing, June loan is sold.

Talk:Soviet (disambiguation)

message: Interesting! By seeing the name of USSR in Ukrainian, I can see that word for Soviet sounds like Radianskyi -- as in radiant? Could this be the root meaning of Soviet? --Pinnecco 10:33, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not quite sure I understand your question.  In any case, "radianskyi" is the adjective, formed from the noun "rada", which, in turn, means "a council".  There is no connection with "radiant" whatsoever; it only looks similar and depends only on the romanization system used.  Hope it helps.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:50, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the old Slavic "rada" (and "radianskyi") has no connection with "radiant": from Latin radiantem (nom. radians) "shining," prp. of radiare "to beam, shine". --Kubanczyk (talk) 10:50, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:History of the Jews in Indonesia

message: This is crazy. 2 million Jews in Indonesia would make it one of the largest populations of Jews in the world. I think the number of Jews there is more like 20 or 25 individual persons.
This article is pure nonense - it needs to be revised completely - there might be 50 Jews in the whole country if you count temporary nonIndonesian residents (diplomats, NGS's, academics, etc.169.252.4.21 14:21, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: [Untitled]

message: I'm curious. Do Indonesian Jews, if there are still any around, register as "Muslims" in the six-religion system? (I'd suppose that's the closest religion to Judaism from a theological and practice oriented point of view, although the mythology is closer to that of Catholicism and Protestantism.) 198.151.130.41 (talk) 04:07, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Religious registration 

message: Changed 
"The social and cultural characteristics of Indonesia that facilitated the extraordinary economic, political, and social success of the Indonesian Jewish community also contributed to assimilation. "
to
"The social and cultural characteristics of Indonesia contributed to assimilation. "
What extraordinary successes? They may well exist but there are no examples or references provided and the rest of the article seems to contradict the claim.
Whose extraordinary successes, the 100-500 people mentioned in one place or the 20,000 mentioned elsewhere? [was only 2,000 in older version is this page]. I assume the latter since it connects assimilation and success, and the larger number refers to the assimilated descendents, but if they are so assimilated to the point many no longer view themselves as Jews it seems unlikely they are greatly more successful than a similar sized random sample of the population.
Does this only refer to the present day since they were persecuted in living memory, e.g., WWII?
Are they truly a politically influential population? Are there any Jewish politicians? Do their votes have an outsized impact?
What is extraordinarily socially successful - invited to all the right parties? 
[Note: I found the article by accident and don't know the topic.  I'm not making any arguments for or against assimilation, about the populations involved here, etc.] Fitzhugh (talk) 08:24, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

message: Please use the book Infobox template for the books.  I have added an example but the correct details need filling in.
We also need to decide what we're going to do about the original releases and cover art - as Joe Dever is British and the books were released in the UK before the US, we should use the UK editions as the main details, then list the US and other international details (ISBNs, publishers, titles and differences), and have a gallery of the different cover art.  We should set up the article for 'Flight From The Dark' to use it as a template for the other books before we add the articles for the other ones to keep the level of information common.

message: The common sense says there are three major approaches for semantics. One example is this book (which also cites Attribute grammar as an approach). Most of the major references in semantics agree on that.
Also, I have sorted the approaches by some criterion: first three major by year/widespread, and the other ones alphabetically. It makes more sense to keep this way, unless someone who know them all and has a NOPV could sort them all by year/widespread.

message: "Markku of the Year, 2002. The award is given by an association of people named Markku." This seems especially bogus.  Based on the 1 seemingly "official" reference I can find I think it is hardly notable enough to warrant inclusion. --Bdoserror 05:03, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not bogus, but it's not a particularly significant piece of information, either. Markku association exists and it has awarded the title, but the association is small and not well-known. Some major Finnish newspapers have mentioned the nomination, at least Turun Sanomat. BTW Wikipedia: Notability covers only permissible topic of an article (in this case, that Uusipaavalniemi is a notable enough person to warrant an article), and not content.
