Proposed new draft edit
I've just created this Talk page, with the goal of improving this article. However, since this Talk page did not exist until just now, I'm going to assume no one is watching it. Instead I have posted requests for assistance at WikiProject Cooperation's Paid Editor Help. Cheers, WWB Too (talk) 14:39, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
Addition re: Dodd-Frank definition changes edit
Following my note above, the article has been updated with a new draft that I proposed and that was reviewed by editors from WikiProject Cooperation and WikiProject Finance. During the review, John M Baker suggested making an addition to the article to note that the definition of CPO had changed under the Dodd-Frank amendments to the Commodity Exchange Act in 2010. To follow up on this, I have prepared the wording below to be added to the end of the History section:
- In July 2010, the definition of commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act was expanded by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to include "persons operating collective investment vehicles that trade swaps". Prior to this, swaps were not included in the CPO definition.[1][2]

I'd like to invite anyone who may be watching this page to review the above and add to the article if it seems neutral and supported by the sources. Since there was no reply to my previous note on this page, I've also left at request at WikiProject Cooperation's Paid Editor Help page. Cheers, WWB Too (talk) 17:23, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
