Talk:Variable universal life insurance

message: I hope this page isn't a waste of space .. delete it if it is unhelpable. I started it when trying to figure out what "VUL"s were. Not a whole lot of financial information on the 'pedia y'know. - karlwick 20:10, May 5, 2004 (UTC)
:No, its a good, needed article.  The article should really be at Variable Universal Life Insurance I think, and VUL should be a re-direct to that. I am quite familiar with VUL's and I will write an article on it soon.  Agreed the financial areas are a bit lacking.  What specific topics did you find lacking?  Check List of finance topics first and see if they are already there.  If not, add them as requests on that talk page and I'll see what I can do to write or improve them, if you also do what you can to write the articles you know about. - Taxman 20:27, May 5, 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: Pjkundert's recent edits are a problem. One problem is reverting over and over without discussion or much attempt to handle concerns by other editors. Adding references is a good thing, but a few POV websites don't count as reliable references. The other, is the edits represent very little attempt to state things factually and follow the NPOV policy. While there is nothing wrong with dicussing fees and legitimate criticism of policies (some of which was removed in earlier edits and shouldn't have been), the way to solve that is to state facts and balance the article. That doesn't happen by adding biased text in an effort to counterbalance. So please read WP:NPOV and WP:V and discuss instead of repeatedly reverting in your preferred material. - Taxman Talk 17:34, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recent edits 

message: The page may have been relevant when written but it is factually incorrect (as a previously licensed seller). See this link, on the State of Colorado website: http://www.dora.state.co.us/Insurance/consumer/2007docs/lifeinsaug2107.htm.
Also: "VULs, as securities, may only be sold in Canada by representatives duly registered with their provincial securities commission to sell mutual funds."  This is currently incorrect.  A life insurance-licensed representative is not required to hold a mutual fund license or securities license in order to sell this product.  Also, the article implies that a VUL is a security.  This is also incorrect - it is a life insurance policy and is governed as such under the Insurance Act, regardless of the nature of the underlying holdings.  --anon  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.71.131.150 (talk) 07:05, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Coastal Plains Region 

message: I don't think this is correct.  I quote from the article:
The southwestern coastal plain of North America is notable for its species diversity.
Shouldn't it be southeastern North America? I've never heard of a southwestern coastal plain, unless there's one in California and western Mexico.  Then again, where exactly would southwestern North America be (not the southwestern United States); wouldn't it like be in Central America, say somewhere like El Salvador or Panama? This really needs to be more specific, more detail given, and probably even a source cited to please the Wiki police. Shanoman (talk) 06:10, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Southwest coastal plain in North America 

message: The article starts with this sentence: "A coastal plain is flat, low-lying land adjacent to a seacostal plain."

thread_title:  This article contradicts itself(Note, relates to section flagged for needing citation) 

message: As of this posting, the opening sentence of the "Legal" section of this article reads as follows
In addition to a public civil action for damages to the environment was brought in September 1995 by the Federal Public Prosecution Service (Department of Justice), together with the State of Goiás’ Public Prosecution Service, before the 8th Federal Court of Goiânia, legal proceedings were also brought against the Federal Union; the National Nuclear Energy Commission; the State of Goiás (through its Health Department); the Social Security Institute for Civil Servants in the State of Goiás – IPASGO, which at the time of the accident was the private owner of the land where the IGR was located; the four medical doctors who owned IGR; and the clinic’s
physicist, who was also the supervisor.
As one who has studied a sufficient level of English can see, this is an incredibly overloaded sentence who's very opening context is quickly upset and lost in the weeds amidst multiple tangents by induction of commas.
 
Or put most simply, it reads poorly. It requires attention to separation of details. It has sufficient content to compose at least three statements. It is ostensibly a paragraph by volume alone. I'm pretty confident we can strive for better on Wikipedia.
I'm sure this statement is supposed to tell me something in relation to the rest of the article it presents from. However it instead reads as a poorly formed list with a fragment of context. By the end of it, I'm left wondering precisely what actions correlate with which parties. Even after several minutes of struggling to decipher it, I have become compelled to ask of anybody else who does comprehend what it's saying to improve upon it's terribly muddled structure. 99bluefoxx (talk) 02:44, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Emotion

message: Information to be added or removed: Emotional Theory of Rationality - ETR. An evolutionary approach to emotions as functional elements to optimizing brain functioning as a whole. It explores the structure and dynamics of emotional system, linking it with attention and cognition through a new architectural model. According to ETR theory, emotions are the mechanism to optimize the balance between the interdependent variables that define the quality of responses that living beings deploy before challenges, including survival and reproduction. The model sets a framework to scientifically define and better understand some psychological and behavioral phenomena. 
    Explanation of issue: This is a new architectural and transversal approach to explain emotions, which integrates different casuistics into a more general model. It has already (recently) been published in a JCR journal and received more than 8.000 readings and almost 900 downloads.

thread_title: Introduce a new theory about emotions

message: # Although it wasn't stated in the request where this particular information is to be placed, the Theories section may be where the COI editor intends the information to be placed. 
# Looking at that section shows that more than one reference is given for each different theory offered. Nowhere in the article is there a particular theory offered with only one substantiating reference.
# I think a good idea might be to require additional sources for this theory before adding it to the article. But as the request was just made, I'll leave the request open so that other local editors more experienced in the article's subject can weigh in.
# I'd also note that the COI editor appears to have a connection to the offered reference based on their username being the same as the report's author — although the spelling and grammatic errors in their proposed text do raise questions about that connection.

thread_title: Untitled

message: In the abstract, criminalizing all wrongs that cause harm makes the offense principle almost synonymous with the harm principle.[citation needed] However, the definition of what constitutes a wrong may change over time—such that harm may be caused by actions that were not considered wrongs at the time, and vice versa.[4][6]
The harm principle states that causing harm to someone else is equivalent to a wrong doing, so the line all wrongs that cause harm is redundant as anything that causes harm is a wrongdoing and any wrongdoing is something that causes harm. The definition of wrong may not change if it is defined as doing harm. So the last sentence is irrelevant in context of the harm principle, as unless what is considered harm changes it is impossible to change wrong.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.50.136.41 (talk) 18:53, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

The name "Project Lincoln" was chosen because the Laboratory sits near the towns of Bedford, Lexington, and Lincoln, and the names "Project Lexington" and "Project Bedford" were already taken.
