I'm presently working on improving international finance articles that presently do not meet Wikipedia's core content policies: WP:NOR, WP:V, and WP:NPOV in an effort to get them up to GA or FA quality. If you'd like to help, take a look at WikiProject Finance. If you'd like to collaborate with me, feel free to visit my talk or send me an email.

Notes

Quotes

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
— Voltaire

A man's dreams are an index to his greatness.
— Zadok Rabinowitz

Once we overcome our fear of being tiny, we find ourselves on the threshold of a vast and awesome universe that utterly dwarfs - in time, in space, and in potential - the tidy anthropocentric proscenium of our ancestors.
— Carl Sagan

Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
— Blaise Pascal

Life is sacred, that is to say it is the supreme value to which all other values are subordinate.
— Albert Einstein

Every one of us is precious in the cosmic perspective. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.
— Carl Sagan

Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, it takes religion.
— Steven Weinberg

The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle.
— Anais Nin

-:I'm presently working on revamping [[international finance]] topics that presently do not meet Wikipedia's core content policies: [[WP:NOR]], [[WP:V]], and [[WP:NPOV]]. Many of these articles are written or edited by young finance students or adult financiers who, despite having knowledge or expertise, lack strong technical writing ability and lack familiarity with Wikipedia's standards (particularly NOR and V), most likely resulting from mere inexperience in editing Wikipedia. If you'd like to help me, take a look at [[WP:WikiProject Finance|WikiProject Finance]], and if you'd like to collaborate with me specifically, feel free to post a message on my [[User_talk:John Shandy`|talk]].
