Category:Behavioral and social facets of systemic risk

was Category:Systemic Risk - Behavioral & Social Facets

• I'm the original author of two category pages
  • Category:Systemic risk This has a related article page Systemic risk that I did not author but could use updating. There may also be key Wikipedia pages that could be tagged with this category. Help from ASIA would be really nice!!!
  • Category:Behavioral and social facets of systemic risk I did not write an article page on this but would participate in a group to write one. See the talk page for more. This is bleeding edge research - 10 toes over the front of the surfboard type stuff. However its very real and have found at least one initial survey article (top quality in a heavily refereed journal) so its undeniably legitimate. Would love help here!!!

Hollywood accounting

Would any of you like to look at Hollywood accounting? I'm concerned that it's a mishmash of different examples, out of context, and with a large dose of WP:SYNTH and WP:OR. I doubt the content is due to deliberate misuse of sources; more likely a consequence of editors not understanding the topic they write about. For instance, this source is used to make a general statement about how some concrete concept called "hollywood accounting" turns commercially successful films "into a net loss". We have problems with primary sources, too - if some celeb complains on a talkshow that they didn't get enough money out of some venture, this article blames it on Hollywood Accounting. bobrayner (talk) 20:28, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Leaflet For Wikiproject Finance At Wikimania 2014

Hi all,

My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.

One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.

This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:

• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film

• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.

• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.

• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____

• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost

For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to:

The "Bitcoin exchange" redirect

The Bitcoin exchange article is a redirect that conflates:

• bitcoin exchange, an organized market matching supply and demand for the digital currency with
• bitcoin exchanger, a market maker

I propose to cancel the redirect to disambiguate these two. Ladislav Mecir (talk) 06:51, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

I noted that a few articles had directed Bitcoin exchange to Digital currency exchanger, I think Bitcoin exchange is becoming notable enough in its own right to warrant an article, so created the article but set it as a redirect to Digital currency exchanger for now as did not have enough time to create an full article yet. The redirect is not ideal but is what was happening anyway. As for Ladislav Mecir comment, I do agree that there are two different concepts here but I note that in common usage the same name is used for organisations providing either a trading facility or an exchange between Bitcoins and Fiat money or both. His separation, although correct, does not seem to reflect common usage. It seems that its being used in the same way as foreign exchange which covers both trading facilities and physical exchangers of currency. My feeling is the best solution is for or somebody to create a full article on bitcoin exchanges, which can cover both concepts. Sargdub (talk) 04:20, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Please help assess a draft at AFC

Draft:Mesbah point is about a concept in Islamic finance, please evaluate whether it is potentially notable and should be included in the 'pedia. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 14:39, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
