Talk:Dividend/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

B Class rating

These comments are my ideas that may help Dividend get promoted from B Class to Good article. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 22:02, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Add history of dividends
  • Workers cooperative paragraph is vague and unsourced: it needs specifics
  • Add mutual insurance profit distribution
  • In-line citations for the more contentious and complex statements
  • Images

Finally, some brief thoughts on getting from GA to A Class and Featured article:

  • Accountancy - where dividends appear in the financial statements (profit and loss account) - and their role in assessing value
  • The tax effect of dividends could be explained in a separate section, not as part of Dividend#Cons
  • Investment company and collective investment scheme dividends have special considerations
