Adding an event
Any editor can add an event! Here are a few guidelines and suggestions:
 * Add events that are relevant to the history of finance; for example:
 * Birth dates of important thinkers
 * Enactments of key legislation establishing financial institutions and financial instruments
 * Important events, such as major market events, the creation of indexes, the creation of investment products, the creation of account structures (retirement plans)
 * Don’t forget events not related to the US
 * Add as many events to a particular day as you like
 * Briefly summarize the event:
 * About 15–25 words
 * Use the past tense
 * Use consistent formatting:
 * Note the formatting of existing entries, especially in terms of punctuation.
 * Many dates do not have any entries yet. To create a new "date" article with correct formatting, see Anniversary.
