What is the difference between the Currencies in major currencies, and those in major currencies? --Swilatia (Not Swilly!!) 17:08, 23 February 2006 (GMT)

They're more developed: there's more in their articles. I suppose I was hoping it would be an incentive to add more than just 'the currency of $nation'. But I admit they're arbitrary distinctions, and people should change if appropriate. Gruen2alk 17:35, 23 February 2006 (GMT)

Quite well done, m'boy. (( Pacitalkia )) Time sent: 03:22, 25 February 2006 (GMT)

Rearranging the currencies

Perhaps, however, this should be rearranged into four categories: Hard currencies, stable currencies, fiat currencies and soft currencies. The Gulden may be a "major" currency in terms of article development, but the exchange rate against the NSD/USD classifies it as a soft currency.

I don't understand --swilatia 19:14, 25 February 2006 (GMT)

I would support subdividing, but that runs into two problems: one, many currencies aren't developed enough to fit into one of those categories (like my own, the Gnor), and two, many people have no idea what those different terms mean. –|–– Ceo \ rant 19:28, 25 February 2006 (GMT)

Becoming Major Currency

I just put a fair bit of work into my Currency subpage- The Dowland. I was wondering whether the work I've put into it as of now allows me to become a Major Currency? If not, what else could I put in to become a Major Currency? I know its odd, but I would like to become one. Skinny87 16:15, 5 April 2006 (GMT)

I think its long enough. Since there is no telling how "major" it really is, the well-devolped articles go there, as on most wikis, the really major things in the world tend to get more attention from edeitors, and therefore they are well-developed. If you want to see how developed a major currency page should be, take a look at some. --swilatia 19:34, 5 April 2006 (GMT)

Well, I've looked at the Major Currency Articles. With the exception of Guffingfords Gulden one, which is seemingly perfect, and about two others, I think I've got a longer and more detailed article than all of the others. So I think in terms of detail and variety, I have enough to become a Major Currency, but I didn't want to change anything and get banned or warned. I was wondering who made a decision about this.
