[edit] Trillion
A note about the value of derivatives transactions: Nader did indeed say they would total $500 trillion (not billion) this year. That number is consistent with other discussion of derivatives. See, e.g., "Derivatives the new 'ticking bomb': Buffett and Gross warn: $516 trillion bubble is a disaster waiting to happen", Paul B. Farrell, MarketWatch, March 10, 2008.--ragesoss (talk) 12:52, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Length
Are all pages on Wikinews this short?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Normiad (talk • contribs)
- Wikinews doesn't make a habit of giving the entire world history of a subject in every article. For instance, when we write an article about one of NASA's probes, we don't feel compelled to spend 12 paragraphs discussing the Space Shuttle Columbia accident, or the destruction of Challenger, or 3 paragraphs about Neil Armstrong. The article is about a probe, not about NASA's entire history. Instead, we do this: NASA, and you can read about the background if you choose to do so. If you read an article on CNN on the other hand, they will have ONE paragraph of (non-informative, overly generalized) news, and then 3 pages of useless blathering crap. It's up to you to choose which one of those two styles you want. Gopher65talk 18:51, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
