Talk:Central counterparty clearing
Page contents not supported in other languages.
The image on this page is incorrect. DTCC is the name of the merger of DTC and NSCC. See: DTCC.comMjd0210 (talk) 14:46, 16 July 2010 (UTC) MJD0210[reply]
I plan to make substantial changes to this article in the coming weeks. For example, DTCC has operated its Continuous Net Settlement system for decades. CNS is a CCP, created before the latter term was coined. I don't think that the illustration can be used going forward, as it does not represent the flow of trade data into CNS. Any disagreement, please let me know. WikiDorset (talk) 00:55, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
WikiDorset, thanks for all your work on this article to improve it.
A basic question is, what level of audience do you wish to address? Is it only for those, who are already familiar with the financial industry and its processes, or is it intended to inform the general reader? If it's for the general reader, then I suggest more background material and more basic explanation. The level should also be reflected in the assumptions that you make in your lead sentence and paragraph.
Here are some questions:
It seems to me that the name of this article and some of the sections are not proper nouns and therefore should not be capitalized per WP:CAPS. I'll await input from other editors, before changing the name of the article to, "Central counterparty clearing". User:HopsonRoad 21:08, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It seems to me that Clearing house (finance) has a lead section that encompasses the scope of this article. Is this article different in scope? If so, then that should be made clear what the difference is. If not, then any elements of this article, which are missing from Clearing house (finance), should be brought across to that article and this article should be made a Wikipedia:Redirect to the other one.

Much of the Clearing house article addresses the role of a CCP. I suggest moving those sections here, and then merging into the Clearing house article existing articles on Bankers' clearing house and Cheque clearing, which discuss its history and role.
