I'm confused by the merge proposal. Did you mean to ask if "History of the Federal Reserve" could be redirected here? -- EGeek ( talk) 03:59, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Where's the archives for this discussion page? Nunamiut ( talk) 23:14, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
There should maybe be a brief mention of Executive Order 11110, which links the Federal Reserve to Kennedy assassination theories. 67.68.65.192 ( talk) 00:17, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
I just deleted that endlessly-repeated-never-verified "most unhappy man" quote from Wilson. Here is the relevant part of the discussion at Wikiquote about this:
This is called "braiding quotes", I believe. Except for the "unhappy man" part, which appears to be sheer fabrication. See Gutenberg Project for "[8]" above. [1] See also the Google Books entry. The above quote, on p.18, is a general comment on monopoly power and lack of corporate accountability, not a statement from Wilson about the Federal Reserve. In fact, Wilson's New Freedom book, from which this quote was braided and embellished, apparently doesn't even mention the Federal Reserve. Yakushima ( talk) 11:47, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
Editor Yakushima is correct. The re-insertion of this so-called "quotation" is a chronic problem in Wikipedia articles related to the Federal Reserve System. Famspear ( talk) 14:15, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
I'm not quite clear how this article comes to jump straight from the formation of the Fed to the 1950s. There's obviously a lot of controversy over the role of the Fed in the inter-War period. If that is all dealt with somewhere else, this article might want to signal that rather prominently? Nandt1 ( talk) 23:33, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
Despite meeting in secret, from both the public and the government
It was not a secret to the folks on Jekyll Island. Some of the politicians names appeared in the local newspaper. Randy Golden ( talk) 15:54, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
