[edit] Sustainable Development Strategy in Canada
The place you're looking for is Wikipedia:Featured article candidates. The featured article review page is for articles that are already featured. If you want suggestions for how to improve the article before listing it at featured article candidates, I suggest Wikipedia:Peer review. The article you made is a very impressive effort, especially from a newcomer, but I can see some room for improvement. Good luck. Andrew Levine 00:14, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Going Concern
Hi Octopus-Hands!
Indeed, a going concern is the assumption that a business will continue its present operations into the foreseable future. This is an accounting concept. It is an underlying assumption in accounting as there would be no purpose in providing financial statements if there was no assumption that the entity was to continue it's operations. It can be found in the Statement of accounting policies (at least in elementary level accounting). None the less, it is very related at accountancy.
- "going concern" + accounting
^-- Please google that for more information. I will not reverse the change unless you are completely satisfied though :)
Sincerely,
Michael
- Yep, that would fit :) GAAP should probably be added to the accountancy section at some stage too though... *notes in mind*.
Cheers :) --Mishkle 06:01, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mission statement
I'm a little puzzled as to why you completely reverted the article. I may have been too blunt with the Dilbertian analysis, but there is no way that a mission statement (as that term is used in present practice) would be part of articles of incorporation. Mission statements are not usually created until an organization has been in operation for a while; articles of incorporation are legal documents.--Orange Mike 14:50, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] War of 1812 Aboriginal people
Since this only has one sentence and no content, my guess is it was supposed to be Category:War of 1812 Aboriginal people --ArmadilloFromHell 15:45, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Exceptional balance
It would have been nice to know exceptional balance was up for deletion; the convention is to post to the first contributor's talk page with a link to the AFD entry. However, on further investigation I agree that my accounting teacher was wrong about "exceptional balance" being an accepted term. NeonMerlin 04:33, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 1812 problem
I fear the 1812 people category is buried too deep. (I overlooked it for days). It's simpler to have fewer layers for readers to find things. (We do not have an excessive # categories under 1812). Rjensen 00:21, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Category:American civil war books
You may have noticed that has been blanked without a comment. The user who did this may also have severed all links to this category without reconnecting them to the parent categories; at least this happened in the case of one other category. Please check all pages (articles and subcategories) that may have linked to this category for such changes. Thank you! — Sebastian (talk) 01:56, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Never mind! I just noticed that you wrote "delete" yourself, so it's probably not a problem. I assume that you checked the articles that linked to this category, so none is dangling now. — Sebastian (talk) 02:00, 8 December 2006 (UTC) (Please reply on this page.)
