We appreciate you're willingness to see the possibilties! :) We hope you have a laugh. http://geddongear.com/wackapedia.aspx

Optimal Money Management

See kelly criterion, much of William Ziemba's work or read Ralph Vince's book "The Handbook of Portfolio Mathematics". There is essentially one percentage of your wealth that you should put at risk in any given investment. Risking more than double the optimal ensures ruin, risking less than optimal you forgo geometric gain and only preserve artimetic, risking more ensures no more geometric gain but potentially greater artimetic loss talk

Mechanistic Value Investing

Automated investing that selects equities to invest in by comparing the value of a company based on fundamental accounting details and present market value. The idea is that fund managers are extraordinarily expensive and their performance is often less than black-box investing in the same style. talk

Speedy Deletion: Why was my page deleted - and w/out notice?

Hello Peridon - I recently created my first wiki article complete with more than 30 references and as many external links. I logged in this morning add additional information to the page and was greeted with a page indicating that it had been deleted via Speedy Deletion per your action. I am disappointed that I did not receive notice of this - and was not given a chance to defend my article. The reason stated on the page for deletion was:

   A tag has been placed on Gunnar Peterson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done because the article, 
  which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not 
  indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the 
  criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time

I cited many sources indicating how this person is notable. Arguably credible media outlets such as CNN and Sports Illustrated assert that he is "the" expert in his industry. I also followed a similar (albeit mine more thoroughly written) format used on other current wiki pages for same industry professionals - i.e.:http://en.wikipedia.org/Jillian_Michaels_(personal_trainer)

I see where another administrator re-tagged the page to drop the parenthesis industry clarification. But after their edit - you used Speedy Deletion. Is this in error? My original page location is at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/Gunnar_Peterson_(Personal_Trainer,_Fitness_Expert) I am eager to learn wiki best practices - and have MANY references if there is simply a question or concern about the content I have included.

Please advise, as I am anxious to begin other articles - but do not want to repeat a mistake if I am in error and continue to have articles deleted.

Thank you in advance for your time and guidance. Best!

Re your message: Thanks. =) Patience is a virtue as it has been said. Though I am a bit confused over the context of the patience. I'm not exactly sure which situation you are referring to. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 23:51, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Re your message: Ah, okay. I do get a lot of complaints from people when I delete their articles about their brand new band that has yet to release anything, but absolutely must be on Misplaced Pages. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 00:01, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
