Sources

Verifiable sources for changes:

The books listed will all give basically the same information about grants as the article, as will the links.

For grant scams, a good source is the New York Office of Consumer Affairs http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/grant_scams_ny.html (amusingly enough, this page has Google ads and several grant scam ads show up alongside the warning).

I'm new to this, so if sources or books need to be listed differently, please respond on this page.

Although the DK links are in danish, there is an english translation and the link gives references for the DK section. Link should be kept. Wikipedia needs to reference its information. The direct link is right here. --OrbitOne ^[Talk|Babel] 20:07, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Grantsfaqs.com external link

I think grantsfaqs.com will be a good addition to the external links page as it answers a LOT of grants-related questions in a clear and straightforward manner and is a legitimate resource for people seeking grants-related info.

It seems to be more of a how-to guide to getting grants than a look at grants from an encyclopedic perspective. And much of the information is already covered in the other links we already have. So I don't see the need for it myself. --Siobhan Hansa 20:05, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I am not sure then how this site is less qualified to be presented on wikipedia coimpared to grantadvocate.com and nenionline.org. This site (grantsfaq.com) seems to be much more direct to the point and useful. Grantadvocate.com tries to look like a non-profit site and has pointers to, and virtually endorses other for-profit grants-related sites. Certainly grantadvocate.com is more of a bibliography (and that's putting it charitably) than an encyclopedia article.

Perhaps someone can enlighten as to why grantadvocate.com made it to this wikipedia article. As someone seeking grants info, I certainly found grantsfaq.com way more useful and feel it deserves to be pointed to.

This article isn't for people seeking grant money, it's an encyclopedia article, not a how-to guide. So ideally it would be an appropriate place to look if you wanted to find out how grants affect the actions of others, or if you wanted to understand why there is grant money in the first place, perhaps what the most influential grants have been and what the differences are in the way grants are distributed, used and viewed in different societies. But if you're looking for how to get grant money, a real encyclopedia is rarely a good source. We'd become a huge directory.

On whether some of the other sites ought to go too - possibly. I'm not a big fan of grantadvocate.com either. I've been reacting to new edits recently rather than reviewing the article as a whole. Perhaps it's time for a dust out. --Siobhan Hansa 04:52, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

External links section

I propose that we just get rid of the External links section altogether, as it is heavily prone to link spam and it's not really Wikipedia's responsibility to point people in the direction of requests for proposals or grant applications anyway. I also suggest this for Grant writing, which shares the same frequency of link spam. Maybe since these people don't seem to "get it," they'll at least not be encouraged when they look at the article and don't see a list of external links and think "Hey, I ought to add mine!"

Receiving money

I have been discussing about receiving money. If I send money I'm being told I will receive money. Some medium amounts and some much bigger amounts. Besides a grant is this true. Gramps7576 (talk) 23:31, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

European Council

The European Council is very much a part of the EU, it is one of the 7 institutions alongside the Commission and the Parliament. I don't know what the author was thinking about when he said it was nothing to do with the EU. Totally crackers. --Tomb Blaster (talk) 19:41, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

To purchase a home for myself, I live in a government apartment please contact me. Thank you. 2601:485:4104:6740:E4C7:8DD5:F240:DA98 (talk) 15:06, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
