Talk:Petroeuro

message: We have about 20 or so sources and unless someone reads all of these, s/he has no way of trying to see the relevance of the different sources. It's dangerous to remove a source, since maybe it's necessary to justify one or more of the statements, but at the same time, the long list of sources discourages people from reading any of them. 
Unless someone has some objections, i will sooner or later start making proper references in the way that it's possible to have several citations to a single reference, i.e. the wiki source text looks something like
in the text 
another paragraph later on

#   Santa's Iran Oil Bourse statement 25.12.2005
The ordering in the external links section is easy to make in numerical order - just add new sources at the end - the ordering inside of the text is, in general, not going to be in numerical - people may add new citations in between previously existing citations, and you don't want to have to reorder the whole thing.
See Wikipedia:Footnote3 for more detail.
After some time, links which don't contribute anything could be shifted to the talk page in case anybody wants to "rescue" them. 
Here i'm adding a few sources i find relevant, i don't want to put them on the main page without properly citing them in the text (and maybe some are already there...):

thread_title: sorting out the sources

message: Most of this text is about the Iranian plan to create an International Oil Bourse, and there's some debate about whether or not it will actually be focussed on the petroeuro:
* http://www.energybulletin.net/12463.html
so IMHO probably a lot of this should shift to International Oil Bourse. Boud 18:08, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: shifting most of text to International Oil Bourse?

message: i found plenty of sources suggesting March 2006, but not many recent ones, and nothing anything like primary source saying explicitly 20 March. From the sounds of it, ahmadinejad had problems getting a minister of oil which the parliament would accept and on the principle that big government projects almost never run on time, it would be surprising to expect that this is a serious date if there is nothing public being said about it. In any case: does anyone have a source? Boud 18:08, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: 
20 March 2006: is there a '''recent''' (or any?) source for this?


message: As someone who doesn't know much about the Petroeuro or its signifiance, I am left wondering: What does the section on the Fed not reporting M3 have to do with the Petroeuro? If there is a good reason why half the article should talk about M3, could someone who understands it add a connecting sentence or two, or explain why it's fine as it is? Thanks.

replies: text: I moved that section to the inflation article where it is relevant; but it should be noted tha much of the recent rises in oil prices are most likely a result of M3 growth which is the broadest measure of money and includes M1 (all the minted coin and savings accounts) and M2 (all the long term deposits, CD's and so on) plus all the institutional depostits.  If the Fed keeps increasing the M3 money supply and drives the value of the dollar down, this would be a perfect impetus for countries like those in Europe to switch to Euro denomitated oil.Carbonate 23:51, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm not clear on why Noam Chomsky's 2006 AI lecture is linked. I listened through it and while he does discuss the middle east, American policy, and Iran, I did not catch any directly related information. Good resource, but seems unrelated. -Neil — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.158.64.126  (talk • contribs) 02:10, 9 March 2006
:i was curious about this too. i'm unlikely to listen to check this. In Chomsky's written stuff there are generally links to (relatively) primary sources and/or sufficient precision in the statements that you can find primary sources. Maybe the Chomsky link could be shifted to U.S.-Iran relations and material from the talk added to the page (if there's anything important not already on the page). Boud 01:10, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Obviously, any recent 'revelations' about war plans will scare off potential traders. I hypothesize this is exactly the reason for war planning. Can you refute this hypothesis? -- Rwst 08:15, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

message: The estimates (% euro (est.) in the tables) seem to be unsourced. If nobody can find sources from them, I'll probably remove them as WP:OR after a while. --SLi 22:53, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The article about "petroeuro" does not even cite the words European Union, Eurozone, or any other European country; referring simply the US external affairs. Petroeuro does not simply exist. The petrodollar system is much more than buying oil with dollars. Using this article as a basis you could create any other article in WP named petro(any currency).João Pimentel Ferreira 17:27, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
