[edit] Online Ventures with IAC

I inserted the link to FiLife.com, which is the joint venture between DJ and IAC with ownership of 50/50. However, it was removed and I would like to understand why.

[edit] dow jones history

The author(s) omit to mention what the DJIA was 24 October 1929, when the Crash occured, and how much it lost that day. Also omitted is the amount lost "Black Monday" 1987.

As a side note, I found locating this comment area nightmarish. A simple "comment" space might be in order.

[edit] Buyout and Greenspan

There is no reason to have the section about Greenspan. He is mentioned only because he is a liberal and liberals do not like Murdoch. He is not even a serious contender. In fact, there is no reason to even write about the buyout until after the dust settles and the deal is finalized. Everything is fluid and can change overnight. Should we change the name 'wikipedia' to 'speculapedia' or 'meddlepedia?' To have this section, but then not go into the real history of DJ, etc., is just amateur. 70.218.159.207 17:20, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
