I'm quite inclined to add the definition I added yesterday for "pink sheet" used as slang for over-the-counter stock trading, since User:Leschnei reversion confuses me (since it was obfuscated by other changes). Back in 2007, an editor called Rand McNally a "pink sheet" company], and mistakenly linked to the "pink sheet" redirect that existed at the time (which pointed to a specific branded exchange). Rand McNally has nothing to do with "OTC Markets Group", yet someone else (later down the line) mistakenly changed the redirect to point to "OTC Markets Group", rather than linking to the general definition of "pink sheet" jargon. This disambiguation page needs to make the distinction between the jargon "pink sheet trading" and one of the specific companies that helps investors with "pink sheet" trading. -- RobLa (talk) 01:42, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Leschnei: -- thanks! I've got some minor tweaks to your work (which I may make immediately after writing this comment), but generally, this looks much closer to what I would expect. Before I encountered that "Rand McNally" article, I knew nothing about "pink sheet trading" being slang for "over-the-counter trading" (which, itself, is slang). I can imagine that both forms are derived from carbonless copy paper pages that probably had a white page on the top, a yellow page beneath it, and a pink page beneath it, plus (perhaps) other colors, and traders would used a ball-point pen on a "trading counter" to complete the exchange. It's speculation, but not hard to imagine happening in the 1960s and 1970s (for instance). -- RobLa (talk) 03:55, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
