Editing Protocol

Hello Fayenatic London. I think I've gotten off to a rocky start, since I replied under your talk page, rather than here. Hopefully you will respond back on this page, so I will receive notice of your reply. Gulbenk (talk) 09:02, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Do you have a reliable source that supports that information? --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 03:56, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I can add a reference to clean that up.Gulbenk (talk) 04:31, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 04:34, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Barek, before I add the reference, let me know if it passes muster with you. It comes from an authoritative source (see the bottom of the referenced page for the particulars) but I would rather be sure before adding. Don't care to be deleted a second time... http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/nge/Article.jsp?id=h-2207

I'm not familiar with the source; but from an initial glance it appears to meet the threshold of a reliable source - that should work fine. Thanks for locating a ref and improving Misplaced Pages's content. If you need help formatting the citation, let me know. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 04:59, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick review, and the offer of help. I think I did it correctly. I'm forcing myself to learn the process. Slow...but, for the most part, rewarding. Gulbenk (talk) 05:22, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Barek, saw your revisions. Nice work. Thanks. Much better.Gulbenk (talk) 20:42, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 13

Hi. When you recently edited Stock broker, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages RIA and IAR (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Misplaced Pages again, as you did at Category:American stockbrokers, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 16:16, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Relax, Hirolovesswords. The few individuals formerly listed under Category:American stockbrokers can now be found consolidated under the much larger Category:Stock brokers No information was lost. The category was becoming quite fragmented. Gulbenk (talk) 16:33, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

RE: Tehran Stock Exchange

Hi, my changes to Tehran Stock Exchange were relatively minor and I will honestly admit I don't even remember making them now. So feel free to look into doing a GAR, but other than agreeing with you, I don't really have any additional perspective to add. Cheers, Epistemophiliac (talk) 22:44, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your prompt response, all input is appreciated. The more I dig into this, the more it looks like the GA was a bit rushed. Gulbenk (talk) 22:54, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Lakeside HS AAAA -> AAAAA_AAAAA-2013-03-18T01:43:00.000Z">

Unfortunately I am not familiar with the school so I cannot be certain when the change from AAAA to AAAAA occurred. I suspect it happened when GHSA moved to having six classifications (from A to AAAAAA), since some of the schools that I am more familiar with went from AAAA to AAAAA at the same time. --96.32.138.125 (talk) 01:43, 18 March 2013 (UTC)_AAAAA"> _AAAAA">

Maybe look at the history of the GHSA region navboxes? --96.32.138.125 (talk) 01:45, 18 March 2013 (UTC)_AAAAA"> _AAAAA">

Thanks again and financial risk inversion

Hi Gulbenk, thanks again for your help on the IPO article. You made that much easier than I thought it was going to be. I absolutely think you should add the SEC regulation because I'm sure it was being trampled and it's really not fair to the balance of the article to leave readers hanging about whether the allegations, if true, reflect kosher behavior on the part of the brokers. If I had any familiarity with them I would do it right now.

Also I want to ask you about which I have noticed the same effect in bond funds, where "low risk" produced the greatest return for the vast majority of time frames I've looked at in US markets. What do you think about this? I want to edit financial risk and maybe stock market etc. on this topic, but I'm not entirely sure what to say about it. Maybe you know somewhere else it's been covered? I'm pretty sure it has to do with larger firms' ability to hedge the hell out of everything and invest their spare cash in broad high-return concerns that they probably have a lot of asymmetric hidden information about. I would love to know your thoughts. EllenCT (talk) 23:51, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Greeting... and relevance/verifiability

Greetings Gulbenk. Thank you for your note. The edit did not comply with Misplaced Pages's policy regarding Misplaced Pages:Verifiability. Regards, --Technopat (talk) 05:33, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

You thanked me for this edit so (assuming you didn't click actually mean to click the nearby Undo link) thanks for the thanks. I'm wondering, though, how the situation came to your attention -- perhaps you have PG on your watchlist. If you do you may know that -- the recent brief flurry aside -- I work mostly in isolation there. For the moment there's one other editor who engages at all regarding this article, and I'd very much like there to be more (no offense at all to Mirokado, it's just that two is still a lonely number). Would you be willing? EEng (talk) 01:08, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
