Should some of the lists in this article be converted into prose? RJFJR (talk) 16:22, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
Yellen's 4-yr term as Vice Chair started on Oct 4, 2010. However, her 14-yr term as governor technically started on Feb 1, 2010, as noted in http://senate.gov/pagelayout/legislative/one_item_and_teasers/nom_confc.htm. --Emjaymem (talk) 01:46, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

How can you be a 'chair'? Does it make those who are not 'chairs' 'stools'?? Or tables? No wonder this article is locked. There must be dozens of people who believe in the English language who are trying to correct this nonsense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.102.167.176 (talk) 23:22, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

The section on her philosophy should include a statement about how the modern Phillips curve is different from the old one: it includes a role for consumer expectations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Youko shi (talk • contribs) 06:45, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
I agree but would go further. This sentence is very misleading, and illogical: "[She] believes in the modern version of the Phillips curve, which, in its original, pre-1970s form, stated.." Wait, what? 1. she believes in the modern version. and 2. the original form of the modern version was pre-1970's and says XYZ. That doesn't make any sense.
"[She] believes in the modern version of the Phillips curve, which, in its original, pre-1970s form, stated.." So the modern-version-of-the-Phillips-curve has an original, pre-1970's form?? I dont think so. I would like to see the original, pre-1970's form of the modern version of the Phillips curve. And furthermore, I would like to see it authentically, exactly as the people of the 1960's saw the original form of the modern version of the Phillips curve.
"its" refers to "the modern version of the Philips curve" So the page is talking about "in its original, pre-1970's form" being "in the-modern-version-of-the-Phillips-curve's original, pre-1970's form". But wait, The-modern-version-of-the-Phillips-curve MIGHT have an original form, but that form is certainly NOT pre-1970's. Actually the "original" form of The-modern-version-of-the-Phillips-curve is simply the form of The-modern-version-of-the-Phillips-curve as it "originally" was. And the form of The-modern-version-of-the-Phillips-curve as it originally was did not exist until the first modern version existed. The original form of the Phillips curve is not the same as the original form of the modern version. I'm sorry but the modern version does not have an "original pre-1970's form". The Phillips curve has an "original pre-1970's form", but the modern version does not. So, it is just very misleading to say that she believes in the modern version of Phillips, which in its original pre-1970 form says XYZ. It is a convoluted sentence tying her to the what the original Phillips curve says. Not only is it a sentence structure mistake to tie her to XYZ; it is a mistake to summarize original Phillips, and another mistake not summarize the modern version.
Let's make it simpler: She doesn't believe in the original version - she believes in the modern version. So it doesn't need to tell us what the original version says, cuz that's not relevant. The modern version is what's relevant. I really think we should correct those four things I listed. This is starting to appear biased in the way it reads.

I was surprised to see chairman, chairperson and chairwoman used inconsistently throughout the article. I noticed this when a similar discussion appeared on ITN:C: an original blurb was changed to chairman from either chairperson or chairwoman. I have quickly gone through the article to change chairperson and chairwoman to chairman, which appears to be the correct description and is used throughout Wikipedia. I have left alone references to other job titles, since chairman might not be the official title there. 131.111.185.66 (talk) 18:04, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Is she jewish? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.101.224.234 (talk) 14:59, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
Actually, it's very significant in one way. Antisemitic individuals are more likely to oppose the Federal Reserve because so many of its leaders have been Jewish. (She's the third consecutive Jewish chair/chairman/chairperson/etc.; the last non-Jew was Paul Volcker.)
Also, there is some overlap between the "Jewish-conspiracy paranoids", who believe "Protocols of the Zions of Elders", etc., and the "anti-Federal Reserve Bank" conspiracy paranoids who think that because our currency isn't backed by gold or silver, it isn't "money" and can't be taxed or whatever. Just because a viewpoint is nuts doesn't make the underlying factual basis "insignificant". Actually, it can be very significant depending on what results from the false belief. For example, historians now believe that the Spanish didn't blow up the U.S.S. Maine, but the fact that it exploded is significant mainly because this led so many Americans to believe (falsely) that Spain was responsible that the U.S. declared war over the incident. I don't have the time and/or interest to develop a well-sourced paragraph on this for the article, but someone else might.47.139.46.160 (talk) 20:58, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
