User talk:Ossworks

Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. First thing: be bold! Editors are always happy to correct or revert mistakes and discuss changes with which they disagree. Here are some links that can help you edit better:


 * The tutorial
 * How to edit a page
 * How to write a great article

And for more detailed information:


 * Help pages - the instruction manual, contains everything you could possibly want to know
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia - our principles, or how to get on with other editors
 * Manual of Style - how to format articles, where to place pictures, and other stylistic matters.

All of this information can be daunting, but if you have a question and can't find the answer, you can always ask me on my talk page or go to Where to ask a question. One last thing: please sign your name when leaving messages for others on article and user talk pages using (~&#126;); this will automatically produce your name and the date. I hope you enjoy editing! --Sam Blanning (formerly Malthusian) (talk) 18:27, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

lehman update
That provoked a bit of commentary -- quite a lot for a soon-reverted change. If you can share, where did you get your information? +sj + 08:23, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

I pay close attention to the economy. On Nouriel Roubini's blog http://www.rgemonitor.com/blog/roubini there is a reliable poster who seems to be part of a bankruptcy evaluation team. He posted a tip that it was a gone the day before it became public. He also predicted WaMu's failure and is predicting Wachovia, but after being deleted so quickly I decided not to post to those entries.
