Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg

Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

In my opinion, this posting should be more accessible to a general audience. Economists would understand what you've posted, but they're probably not going to go to this posting. It's meaningless to nearly everyone else. Marsge01 (talk) 12:21, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Consistent notation across articles

The pages for Marshallian demand, Hicksian demand, and Minimum expenditure functions, Roy's identity, and the Slutsky equation have differing notations. While this isn't a problem for experts, the connections between these concepts are very important. It might help people using Wikipedia as a learning resource if the notations were unified.

should the first equation read

<p,x> <= I instead of <p,x> <= w?

Overlapping pages

There is an apparently large overlap between Demand curve, Marshallian demand function and Utility maximization problem. I would like to see some explanation about the differences and relationships between them. -- Erel Segal (talk) 10:37, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

not at a general level

the intro is not at the level needed for a general encylopeida; almost insulting so it is written for someone who has at least a solid 1 year college course in econ most of the econ articles seem to be like, really badly written shame on the authors for spending hours on hard to read math notatation but not taking 20 minutes to put the intro into english — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:192:4700:1F70:D889:4C2C:9221:FFC7 (talk) 02:07, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

I added a link at the start to try to direct nontechnical readers to the simpler demand function article. Marshallian demand actually is a technical concept, so it's hard to write it more simply than its present state, though it can no doubt be improved. You are right that a common Wikipedia problem is that articles are more technical than they need to be-- or at least it would be good to have different sections of the article saying the same thing but for technical and nontechnical readers. Math articles have this problem a lot-- they are used both by math professors and by freshmen.
