References

The fact "quantitative finance and econophysics only deal with modeling financial instruments without seeking to understand nature of underlying processes" can be verified by their definitions, references to which are already provided in the links to the corresponding wiki articles.

The problem is not the definition of QF or econophysics exactly, it's the statement that "physics of financial markets is a very young discipline and has not been shaped yet." I don't disagree with that, but it's a subjective statement which still needs a reliable source. Information which you know to be true but which isn't supported by reliable sources is WP:OR, and using sources about the definition of those other disciplines to indicate things about this one risks WP:SYNTH. Other Wikipedia articles should not be used for sources, see WP:CIRC. If sources used in other articles specifically apply to this one, then use them to support the content. Information in articles must be verifiable. Thanks. Grayfell (talk) 01:32, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarification. I agree with you and eliminated that "subjective" element. Algostox (talk) 08:24, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
