Naming convention for Companies and Businesses
I just wanted to draw attention and comment to on a draft poll to determine naming convention for companies and businesses. I have looked around a number of places and have only seen comments to the effect of "we should have a convention" or "do we have a convention" on how to name a XXX company. This has either the effect of drawing a few uninterested comments or a stirring up a heated debate. In either case the net result is generally zero. Your comments to help clarify this poll and later corresponding vote would be greatly appreciated. --Reflex Reaction (talk)&bull; 17:58, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Dates
There is no need to include the announcement date (i.e. the date the press release was issued) of index changes. Please start a new paragraph for each date (there may be several changes in a single day) beginning with the effective date of the change, not the date the change was announced. Do not confuse effective dates with announcement dates. Note that changes generally take place before the market open on the date of the change. Chris319 (talk) 05:53, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

To the user at IP address 174.20.141.52: please reread the above paragraph. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris319 (talk • contribs) 07:20, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Is Fiserv not a financial company?
The first paragraph says that there are no financial companies in this index. Is that an error, or does Fiserv not meet the definition because it is services and not a bank? tharsaile (talk) 15:54, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Interesting trivia
Nobody seems aware that "QQQQ" was an old gag amongst computer geeks in the late '70s. When pronounced "four kew" it clearly indicates "fuck you!" in a manner that couldn't be controlled by the sysop; years later, it evaded automated censorship. The user, if confronted, could feign innocence and claim it meant "I'm very confused" ("????"). Weeb Dingle (talk) 18:21, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
