Reviews

• Wow. This is highly technical stuff. I'm not close to being qualified to review it, but just to give a little input: it looks like excellent work, and it's apparent that the Vanna-Volga method is notable and worthy of an article. So thank you very much for contributing this article. This is just the sort of thing we need. There are thousands of editors (like me) who are qualified to contribute articles on places and events and people etc. but qualified technical editors like you are very valuable. Now, let me point to Wikipedia:Make technical articles understandable - this is a general encyclopedia, and to the extent possible it's good to make it articles useful to non-experts. For instance, I edited just the first sentence of the article, to make terms such as "exotic option" and so forth be internal links, so readers can quickly look them it. I wonder if it is necessary to use a term such as "FX" instead of "foreign exchange" and so forth. I would recommend beginning the article with an even broader definition, such as "The Vanna-Volga method is technique used by stock analysts [or whomever uses it]. It is..." Although the article will never be accesible to people like me, it'd be good if, should we stumble across it, we have some idea generally what it's about, I guess. But these are quibles, and other editors can fix some of this. If you want to achieve the highest Wikipedia excellence in applying your talents to future articles, though -- and I hope you do -- something to consider.
