Hey, nice edit on Inner product space! It's tough to write a mathematical overview clearly, but you pulled it off. Ben Kovitz (talk) 01:42, 18 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 05:35, 20 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Protectionism

edit

Hi, I'm reverting your recent edits to Protectionism as they do not reflect the mainstream economic view of the subject. As it is a subject that people have strong views about, the people who have been editing it have agreed that the definition should not be changed unless first discussed on the talk page. If you want to continue improving the article on protectionism, please discuss on the talk page about what needs to be done. Thanks, lk (talk) 03:04, 1 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Notability of The linux documentation project

edit
 

A tag has been placed on The linux documentation project requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Shadowlynk (Talk) 06:58, 4 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Quotes do not contradict Special Relativity

edit

If you think that there is anything wrong with the quotes, then I think you should show it formally on the talk page the article. Count Iblis (talk) 23:11, 16 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

I had already done so; the quotes are in an pseudo-scientific, book-selling style that is inappropriate for an encyclopedia - and they're very inaccurate: by virtue of Relativity of Simultaneity, they imply distance, and ultimately, space doesn't exist. They are poetic, but not very well thought out. Blablablob (talk) 23:16, 16 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Smith and Trickle-down

edit

I've put up a quote onto Talk:Trickle-down_economics which I think demonstrates that Smith is (at least by some) thought to have supported trickle-down. The article itself actually goes on to discuss why Smith's alleged support of trickle-down isn't applicable to trickle-down these days, and I think that's something which could be mentioned in the Trickle-down_economics article. Any thoughts? Darimoma (talk) 14:23, 16 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

WikiProject Economics census

edit

Hello there. Sorry to bother you, but you are (titularly at least) a member of WP:WikiProject Economics, as defined by this category. If you don't know me, I'm a Wikipedia administrator, but an unqualified economist. I enjoy writing about economics, but I'm not very good at it, which is why I would like to support in any way I can the strong body of economists here on Wikipedia. I'm only bothering you because you are probably one of them. Together, I'd like us to establish the future direction of WikiProject Economics, but first, we need to know who we've got to help.

Whatever your area of expertise or level of qualification, if you're interested in helping with the WikiProject (even if only as part of a larger commitment to this wonderful online encyclopedia of ours), would you mind adding your signature to this page? It only takes a second. Thank you.

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
