You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Federal Reserve System. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively. In particular, the three-revert rule states that: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Favonian (talk) 18:36, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Federal Reserve System
Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! The Lewis case is already cited in the article. This is an article about the Federal Reserve SYSTEM, not the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, or the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, etc. All twelve Federal Reserve banks are "private" in the sense that they are nominally "owned" by the "member banks," which are also "private" corporations.

However, the Federal Reserve System ALSO includes GOVERNMENT ENTITIES, such as the Board of Governors and the FOMC.

It is incorrect to say that the Federal Reserve System is "private." That would be like saying that the "solar system" is a "planet." The solar system CONTAINS planets, but that does not make the solar system a "planet." Please read the ENTIRE article and the countless explanations on this in the archives of the talk pages for the article. Thanks, Famspear (talk) 18:47, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

A kitten for you!
You sound pretty well-informed. Maybe Ron Paul is wrong about the banking system after all. I don't want to get off the track, but I have to ask since you gave a planetary analogy in your explanation. How come after 40 years we never went back to the moon?
