I chose my username,Hroðulf (orHrothulf), from the Anglo-Saxon orOld English language epic poemBeowulf. It was a little presumptuous of me, as the onlyWest Germanic languages I know are modern English and modern Scots. I actually understand much less of Beowulf than I do of the modernWest Frisian language, which isn't that much. Wikipedia has an article about the literary and historical characterHroðulf, which I did not write.
That is the letterEth, used in Germanic and Celtic (Irish) alphabets. My username comes from theOld English language, where ð represents theth sound in modern English (as in the wordsthat andthe). It really is a modern West European character, listed in theISO/IEC 8859-1 Latin-1 standard character encoding, and is used in some modern Nordic languages, so most computer applications developed in the last ten to fifteen years support it.--Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 10:11, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Retail banking merge withCommercial bank, expand, spin out, and add to{{Banking}} series - proposed and rejected in 2006 - but still a woeful 2 line stub, confused with a generic section on types of banking.
Electronic trading needs a lot of cleanup and references, as do hundreds of articles in investment and finance. There seems to be a large amount of guesswork, quack theories, content forks , lack of global perspective, and even walled gardens, in these fields.
Dividend - expand as discussed in its assessment comments
{{Ise}} is pretty unsatisfactory. It links to Yahoo!, its text is ISEQ instead if ISE,{{ISE}} doesn't redirect to it, it uses non-standard Yahoo! ticker symbols instead of ISIN or SEDOL number, and it doesn't work for {{Ise|AIN}}[1]
{{Tyo}} works better, but displays a complete non-standard acronym, and Bloomberg has lots of ads
MergeEpiscopal intoEpiscopal politydiff and tried to expand and cleanup the resulting article – took a couple of hours; unfortunately the combined content is still far from being a comprehensive encyclopedic article
