Abhilasha369 Greetings. Welcome to Wikipedia. I wonder why Wikipedia is spelled with a W. Even a 'V' would have sufficed. What are your thoughts on the matter? Abhilasha369 (talk) 04:47, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Ah, very interesting question O Curious Child. Wiki wiki (pronounced 'wee-kee', rhyming with 'leaky', not 'wi-key' as in 'lea-ky') is a Hawai'ian term which means quick. However, for reasons obvious to the romantic mind, I prefer the alternative Viki-pedia ;-) Sridevi Tolety (talk) 16:29, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Heheheheheheeheheheheheeh. Very innovative and interesting :) Abhilasha369 (talk) 14:36, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Renaming Page Title
Hi Sri!

There are various options to rename the page, but the simplest of them here.

I've moved the page for you, just have a look :)

Suggestions on Article
Hey Sri!

Suggestions first...


 * Correct the fixed exchange rate system to Fixed Exchange Rate System.
 * Avoid using external links in your article, it disrupts the flow. A better way of doing it is putting them in External Links section
 * " Members were required to establish a parity of their national currencies in terms of the US dollar and to maintain exchange rates within plus or minus 1% of parity (a "band") by intervening in their foreign exchange markets (that is, buying or selling foreign money). The U.S. agreed separately to link the dollar to gold at the rate of $35 per ounce of gold." Please cite references if you are stating facts!!!
 * Use to break a section, for e.g., "Excess Demand for Dollars" section is overlapping with the Fig:2.
 * Put more links(within Wikipedia uing square brackets), and put more references.

Apart from the points I mentioned above, your article is looking great!, esp. the diagrams. I liked the infobox as well :)

 * Hey Sri!
 * One more suggestion, if possible put some images, your article looks so serious :)
 * Coz it's related to money it's not that hard to find one, I searched on wikimedia commons and got a few...




 * It will make your article more presentable.

Fixed Exchange Rate System
I have explained my edits on the article's talk page. I am trying to make the article consistent with the Manual of Style. It is rude to revert edits that have been explained on an article's talk page, and it is wrong to revert edits that are correcting an article's style. I have also corrected punctuation and spelling. Do not revert my edits again. Thank you. Ground Zero | t 09:56, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

{{Hidden|style=width: 50%;|contentstyle=text-align: left;|1=How do I create citations?|2=#Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for. 
 * 1) Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
 * 2) In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
 * 3) Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
 * 4) Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like, copy the whole thing).
 * 5) In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
 * 6) If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:

Linking
Sridevi, you and I seem to be working at cross-purposes on Fixed exchange rate system‎. I have been trying to reduce the overlinking in the article, and you seem to be adding links back in. Let me explain the basis for my edits:
 * The Guide to writing better articles says: "When you do create links, link only one or a few instances of the same term; don't link all instances of it."
 * Avoiding common mistakes warns against "Over-Wikifying": "Wikipedia thrives on internal links, but keep it within reason."
 * Also, links should be made only where they are relevant to the article, and not to every word. See Make only links relevant to the context.

WP:OVERLINK specifically says:
 * "Unless they are particularly relevant to the topic of the article, it is generally inappropriate to link:
 * plain English words;
 * terms whose meaning would be understood by almost all readers;
 * items that would be familiar to most readers, such as the names of major geographic features and locations, religions, languages, common professions and common units of measurement (particularly if a conversion is provided);
 * dates."

I hope that helps you understand better how to link in articles. Thank you for your contributions. Ground Zero | t 21:27, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
