The existing page already cites unbiased sources and more can be added, such as the SEC Q&A. What you added does not fall in that category. Sorry but I am a student and cannot single-handedly fight a Wall Street lobby with time on its hands. --] 23:02, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Short selling

Not a problem. Let me know if that user shows up again - if it's within the next 18 hours or so it'll be a violation of the three-revert rule and grounds for blocking the user. (ESkog) 19:25, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I will. There seems to be a coordinated effort to vandalize the page.--Mantanmoreland 19:37, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

  • I can't revert any more times today or I would fall under the 3RR - the only time you can "break" the rule is for clear vandalism which this doesn't really qualify for. It seems that we'll be re-reverted right back as long as the page isn't semi-protected. (ESkog) 20:26, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • The goal would be to revert to a neutral version then freeze it - which is basically what will happen as soon as an admin processes our request for protection. (ESkog) 20:46, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Compromise page attempted

Based upon my own research, I have created a first draft of an attempt at an unbiased article at Naked short selling/Workshop. Feel free to contribute in whatever way you can - make sure to carefully cite unbiased sources as this is apparently a contentious topic. (ESkog) 20:05, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

The existing page already cites unbiased sources and more can be added, such as the SEC Q&A. What you added does not fall in that category. Sorry but I am a student and cannot single-handedly fight a Wall Street lobby with time on its hands. --Mantanmoreland 23:02, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
