DocendoDiscimus

looks a bit empty here... ah well, newbies etc..

Welcome!

Hello, DocendoDiscimus, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (~~~) for just your name. If you have any questions, you can post to the help desk or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!  BlankVerse ∅ 17:51, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

hi, thanks for the welcome! took me a bit to find out about the ~'s. This Wikipedia thing is quite addictive! My main area of expertise is finance (in particular bonds & derivs), and there's a lot of work to be done there... Hope to be able to contribute a lot though! DocendoDiscimus 16:24, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

You might start with one article on a topic that you are interested in and then look at the category or categories that they are in for similar articles. For the financial articles on the Wikipedia I've seen too many of them that are written in a manner that only a PHD in Economics would be able to understand the article, and others that seem to be touting someone's pet stock theory, but I do not know enough to be able to copy-edit either type of article.

Wikilink Re-Directs

Why are you creating Wikilink re-directs? It is Wikipedia's goal to ELIMINATE them. You added "U.S." to "Securities and Exchange Commission" in some articles, this just causes a RE-DIRECT. Why? WikiDon 08:16, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

the name should be U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (which is also the term they use themselves, see [1]). Trying to sort this by changing it to the correct name and then redirecting "Securities and Exchange Commission" there. DocendoDiscimus 08:20, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Here is what you should do (should have done): MOVE the page Securities and Exchange Commission to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, then change the links. If you go to Securities and Exchange Commission and click "What links here" in the "toolbox" on the left, you'll see all the pages linked to that page. Then you have to each MOVE one and change the link. WikiDon 08:25, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

PS Normally you will have to reply on the that users talk page for them to know that you did respond. It is also better to put the discussion on that pages talk page. WikiDon 08:25, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

OK - will move the page now; have already corrected quite a few links. btw, there are a number of pages that use the {{SEC}} template, which always seems to link to SEC. Any idea how to get those pages to link to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission?

How_to_move_a_page

PUT BACK WHAT YOU JUST DID.

You don't COPY+PASTE to move a page. READ How_to_move_a_page. You use the MOVE button, this moves the talk pages, the watch pages, the links, everything.

BACKUP and try it again.

WikiDon 08:47, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

I am not an admin, recommend you use: Requested moves and/or go to the admin page and see who is online now, then hit one up. WikiDon 09:12, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

You might try User:Curps I think he is on now. WikiDon

Okay, Curps moved it. Now you can begin your link fixes, there are about 70.

I wouldn't worry to much about the "user" pages. WikiDon

Merging "Stock Market Regulation in the United States" & "U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission"

I responed to your request to merge "Stock Market Regulation in the United States" and "U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission" @ Talk:U.S._Securities_and_Exchange_Commission#Merge_article WikiDon 10:47, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Are you saying you agree with me, or that it should be merged? WikiDon

Good job!

I, OwenX, hereby award you the Financial Editor Award for your diligent work on a host of finance related articles. Well done!

Closed-end fund links not "spam"

Why did you delete the links that explained closed-end funds? They were part of the sources of the article. They were not "spam"; they had not been put there to attract traffic to the pages; they were put there because they were a valuable resource for learning about CEFs. Jaysbro 13:15, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

MAN AG

Hey, did happen to see the MAN AG talk page, and what I wrote? WikiDon 16:44, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Invitation

Hi, Would you be interested in joining WikiProject Business and Economics?. Thanks. --Pamri • Talk 14:47, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey..thanks for joining and keep up the good work. Can you please help sort this list of finance topics at Wikipedia:WikiProject Business and Economics/Version 1.0 assesment as per the criterion listed there. It has two benefits. One, it helps the Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team project and we also get an idea, where financial topics stand, in terms of coverage and content. Please feel free to ask, if you need any assistance. Thanks again. --Pamri • Talk 14:27, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Contingent Analysis

Hi DD. The guy who put this up is an obvious crank. Can you add your vote to the deletion page, per your nom, so we might have a chance on getting it removed. --JJay 23:36, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Forex

Hi. The link you just deleted was for once not spam but ... pointed to the international forex dealers association's website. I have been pondering for some time as whether to include a link to their site or not, as obviously their standards have slipped in recent years and their site is not worthy of an international body [2]. Henri Htournyol 10:07, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. There's a helluva lot of work to do. I have been remodelling the French language finance pages since June but, frankly, until you came along last month and started cleaning up the mess on the English language ones, the task of upgrading these felt just too daunting. There are just too many people on this planet who speak English and think they understand financial markets and have access to the internet and wikipedia and want to communicate their "knowledge"... So many pages have to be entirely re-written,thanks to wrong concepts and wrong logic. Please do keep up the excellent work.Htournyol 10:37, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Securities Template

I've added inflation-indexed bond to the securities template (the template certainly makes quite a difference in terms of pulling together all of the pages). I hope to turn the stub into something more comprehensive asap. EconomistUK 12:42, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

User:Wsiegmund

Thank you for reverting vandalism to my user page. -Walter Siegmund 15:38, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

WP:RM

Unlike WP:AFD comments about articles listed on WP:RM go on the talk pages of the article. I have moved you comment to Talk:Celesio. Philip Baird Shearer 10:17, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

need a reason

When you use the tag {{db}} you must give a reason, eg. {{db|shit cruft}} for Chilidog. You gave no reason for the deletion of Warcombe Farm and indeed there was no good reason for speedily deleting it. If in doubt, use the AfD process. -- RHaworth 03:30, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Lists of companies

Thanks for your comments on that AfD (though you didn't actually vote either way - was that intentional?) - at times they kept me from feeling I was going nuts. I've now effectively given up on that list/category issue; if some people insist the lists are useful, so be it, it's no skin off my nose. (I just thought it was skin off Wikipedia's nose because of timewasting and confusion and duplication.) Incidentally, who was "the person who has spent most time actually editing the lists"? Rd232 ^talk 00:01, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Case Corporation

I am going to guess that you are not done working on Case Corporation? Right now it looks a little ill. Either make it a pure timeline, like in Detroit Diesel, or the timeline in Mack Trucks, or make it a proose article with paragraphs. Right now it is something in between, and doesn't look good. But, I am guessing that you know that, and it is just "under construction"....?? WikiDon 18:18, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

• 1) Why did you respond on my user page, and not my talk page?!?!?!?!?!? Silly, don't do that.

• 2) I know all about Case, if you will look at the HISTORY tab for CNH Global, and Case CE, you will noticed that I created both articles, also, I created Case Corporation, and intended to add more. I have also been working on Case IH.

• 3) You changed the link from Case CE to Case, which is a disambiguation page, please put it back.

SLOW DOWN a little, quality, quality. WikiDon 18:36, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, I worked in the CE business, so that I know a little about. The Ag business I am not as familiar on. WikiDon 18:58, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Dominion of Melchizedek

I noticed that you edited the article that has the following:

"When the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission brought a civil suit again a lawyer operating a bank purportedly licensed by The Dominion of Melchizedek it was described as 'non-existent.[3] However, after settling that legal action, the Commission only identified 'The Dominion of Melchizidek (as having) a website promoting itself as a sovereign entity, recognized by certain governments'".[4]

Although your input was only on the U.S. bit, do you think it is better just to say that the "SEC, among other things has called the DOM 'non-existent'" or the more detailed one above. If you agree with me can you help me make the argument at the DOM talk page? Because a few insist (and now the article is protected with the shorter version) that the shorter version is less biased, fairer and more balanced. Sincerely, Johnski 07:59, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

• Hello Docendo, Thanks for answering so quickly. I was hoping that if you were familiar with the SEC that you might see the wisdom in the longer version that you edited, because what the SEC states at the end of their case seems more significant than what they state at the beginning, no? Sincereley, Johnski 08:28, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Please restore the Agfa page

Agfa is very much alive (thank you) and has survived the transition to the digital age.

FYI, Agfa and Agfa-Gevaert are the same company. In the USA, it's Agfa Corp. In Canada, it's Agfa Inc. In the Netherlands, it's Agfa B.V. In Belgium, where our head office is located, the legal name is Agfa-Gevaert, which is neat because it speaks to the history of the company. But around the entire world, both internally and externally, we call ourselves simply Agfa. No matter which country, "Agfa" is always included in the legal name for the company. The only company with "Agfa" in it's name, that is not part of Agfa is AgfaPhoto.

Kindly restore our Wikipedia page. If you would like to include a section on our old cameras and film, that is fine, but the "Agfa" page should take the user directly to the page about the company, not the old cameras. Past or present, we are still Agfa!

Thank you. JEL 03:07, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Tea anyone?

I have added your name to WP:TEA. Good job! Owen× ☎ 22:00, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

May I recommend you make a real user page? Tell us about you, what you're interested in, where you've edited. Redirecting to your talk page is frowned upon. Redwolf24 (talk) 06:50, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

I am keen to know a bit about you, too. --Walter Siegmund (talk) 18:43, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Linkspam on Foreign exchange market

Hi, I've noticed that you commented in the discussion page of Foreign exchange market about standards for external links. I think there is a problem there with linkspam, but I'm not willing (or maybe not competent) to judge exactly what is linkspam and what is not, and to take on the linkspammers myself. Could you take a look? Smallbones 00:42, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Covered Call

Any chance of getting you to comment/edit on "Covered call?" It's been marked for cleanup.

Thanks,

Smallbones 14:19, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Economic impact of AIDS

As you are a member of the WikiProject Business and Economics, your help is kindly requested in the section of the AIDS article linked to above. Any help would be appreciated. --Bob 18:28, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Featured list candidate

I thought you'd like to know that List of United States federal legislation has been nominated to be a Featured List. It needs 4 votes by October 2 2006.

As I have labored hard on the article, I would appreciate your looking it over. You can find a discussion here: Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of United States federal legislation.

Thank you!

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Spykercars logo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Spykercars logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Finance Portal

I saw your work on finance related articles. I have been doing a lot of work on the structured finance end of wikipedia structured finance, asset-backed securities securitization etc. I am interested in creating a Finance portal to start organizing the financial links in wikipedia. There is one user so far who has also been very active who is going to start work on this but were looking for some more. We created this site: Wikipedia:WikiProject Finance Would you be interested?

If you are can you email me from my user page --DrewWiki 20:02, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I made changes to Rational_pricing#Fixed_income_securities, attempting to incorporate your comments. Hope these are what you meant. Thanks. Fintor 07:46, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Imf logo.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Imf logo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ilse@ 09:06, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I added a rationale. Can you maybe help me with the source of the image? – Ilse@ 11:59, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 16:06, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Financial markets content project

Hello,

My name is Tijana and I am a team leader of Wikinvesting.com project. Along with five of my colleagues and friends who are investment and trading enthusiasts, I have started the Wikinvesting which is based on MediaWiki platform.

Wikinvesting is a non-profit, game-changing movement which aims to round up all those individuals who believe that unbiased financial market information and knowledge should be extensively available to everyone. And this is also how I got to you :) Namely, I was searching for information I needed on financial markets and I have noticed that there isn’t a lot of "useful" information available on Wikipedia (to my surprise). In addition to that, the information available through sites such as Investopedia or Investing is tightly controlled by the business owners and hence easily manipulated. Simply, traders like me could not trust such sources in planning the investment and trading strategy...

So, what we want to create is a base where active or aspiring traders, content writers, investors, and generally financial enthusiasts will share their knowledge and experience, discuss investment opportunities, analyze news etc., all for the purpose of wikinvesting becoming the biggest financial knowledge “open source” base. I am not sure if you are familiar with the recent case of GameStop where gaming enthusiasts gather around the GameStop via reddit forum and prevented the hedge funds from sinking it down. They were basically our inspiration to starting this project.

I would love to share more information about this project with you and also discuss future potential opportunities, hence if you are interested, please let me know so we can continue this on our slack channel.

Cheers,

TijanaRistic (talk) 13:35, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
