DC Meetup notice

Greetings. There is going to be a Washington DC Wikipedia meetup on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in Category:Wikipedians_in_Virginia, I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "but let me know about future events", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices \(like this one\), you can list yourself under "I'm not interested in attending any others either" on the DC meetup page.--Gmaxwell 22:08, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:John sweeney aflcio.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. High on a tree 20:59, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Autograph book

A tag has been placed on Autograph book requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article consists of a dictionary definition that has been transwikied and the author information recorded.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Kkmurray (talk) 04:05, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Economy of the United States

Thanks for your recent contribution to that article. I'm far from an expert in economics; I was attempting to neutrally reword that passage. What do you think of the current intro? OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 05:06, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

I think the rewording was generally good, you just happened to use a word according to English common usage instead of its technical, economic definition. I noticed I made a mistake too since the sentence talks about output and the data was GDP per capita. Generally, I think the intro is OK. New economy changes frequently, so it seems hard to maintain a high quality static version on articles like these. I'll take a closer look and see what else I can find.--Bkwillwm (talk) 18:05, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Environmental issues in India

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Environmental issues in India, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Beeblbrox (talk) 02:35, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Francisco Franco

To state that Franco was not a fascist is not POV. It is a fact of history and political science. It is the overwhelming consensus of scholars on the subject; Payne says as much. I provided two reliable sources to support this, Payne and Laqueur (although you quibble over Payne's words). The fact that he may have borrowed the trappings of Fascism is beside the point. Many interwar governments had policies in common with fascism, including the New Deal. As to the Roman Salute, even American school children early in the century used it during the pledge of allegiance. If you insist, I will demonstrate the point for you on the talk page. It is fair to say Franco was authoritarian and a dictator and that some of his supporters early on were fascist but going beyond that is not accurate. Mamalujo (talk) 17:13, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

List of price index formulas‎

I was thinking of shifting the article form away from being a list and convert it to regular article with more discussion of each index (background, technical properties, usage).

Excellent! As it is, it's great to have these assembled in one article, but more history and critical apparatus would significantly amplify the value of the article. —SlamDiego_←T 04:22, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Foreign aid to Thailand

Hi Bkwillwm, I see you have a history of working on the article Foreign aid to Thailand. I am looking at it from the project Wikipedia:Unreferenced articles where it is one of the longest {{unreferenced}} tagged articles that does not meet at least the barest minimum of verifiability. It has been tagged and completely without references since July 2006. It would be extremely helpful if you had some references you could add to the article to help support its verifiability and notability. Thanks for any help you can give.

Proposed change of article title to "Monetary economics"

Thank you for your help on the above. Now comes the more ocmplicated part of making the change without losing the history of "Monetary economics" which is now a REDIRECT.

Hi, I've done some edits to the False Face Society article, specifically to the Modern Conflicts section. Since you created the article and are quite knowledgeable about the Iroquois in general, maybe you could help me with some questions I left on its talk page.

FWIW

I've started a talk section of “Marginal utility” which you might want to use, but I wanted toput a sort of restatement here.

There is a difference amongst the claims

• that utility need not be quantitified
• that marginal utility need not be quantified
• that marginal utility can diminish without being quantified

The passage that you removed speaks to the last point. —SlamDiego_←T 13:12, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Velocity charts

Good addition, and I agree with the caption on the first chart, but we really need a citation for that interpretation. I thought that I'd ask you on your talk page for a citation before tagging it, as you might have a citation immediately at hand. —SlamDiego_←T 04:47, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the chance to throw in a citation. Mishkin's textbook also has a chart showing that money velocity is unstable and economically correlated. I realized by caption was a little one-sided, but the chart ended up being more one-sided than I expected.--Bkwillwm (talk) 05:10, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Neo-Keynesian?

Thanks for the cite about what macro-economists now agree upon. The list according to the cite you provided is:

1) coherent intertemporal general-equilibrium foundations

2) base quantitative policy analysis on econometrically validated structural models

3) model expectations as endogenous

4) real disturbances are an important source of economic fluctuations

5) Monetary policy is now widely agreed to be effective

Of the above, the original Keynesian model was completely lacking in 1) and 3). It was not general-equilibrium, it was partial-equilibrium of the worst sort. Expectations were not endogenous, they were in fact not a factor in consumption decisions (which were simply a fixed proportion of income).

The above two shortcomings made Keynes be thought of poorly by theoretical economists.

2) and 4) were at best tangential to Keynes, not really related or relevant.

5) was an alternative view of the world, a competitor to Keynes.

If there was anything at all that is similar to Keynes' model in the above list, it was that wages and prices are sticky.

So if the above 5 are the current "mainstream" then I fail to see how this "mainstream" has anything to do with Keynes.

And also if you look at the cite carefully, the only time the word Neo-Keynesian is mentioned is in the sentence "In the 1960s and early 1970s, the main division was between the neo-Keynesians and the monetarist school." That hardly is support for neo-Keynsian being the current "mainstream".

Steel2009 (talk) 03:39, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Your points about Keynes don't have anything to do with the issue on Neo-Keynesian economics. The paper I cited states that New Keynesian economics forms part of current mainstream economics, and that's what the article says. New Keynesianism developed out of Neo-Keynesianism which came out of Keynes. I could discuss Keynes's theory, but it's not even relevant here. It's twice removed from the statement in the article.--Bkwillwm (talk) 04:12, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

If anything a multi-generational model with endogenous expectations is a rational expectations model. If you introduce features like sticky wages and prices into it, then it is more a modified rational expectations model rather than anything Keynesian. Be that as it may, it appears to me that the reference you provided does not say the "mainstream" is Neo-Keynesian.

If you are claiming that the "mainstream" is Neo-Keynesian, because the cited article is Neo-Keynesian, you are committing two bits of "original research". First you are claiming that the article represents the "mainstream". Secondly, you are claiming that the article's content is Neo-Keynesian.

Either find better cites for your claim that Neo-Keynesian is the "mainstream" (a poorly defined weaselish word to begin with), or remove the text.

Steel2009 (talk) 20:15, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

From your non-answer I presume you are okay with the removal of the disputed text. Steel2009 (talk) 23:29, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

I had limited internet access for a few days. Don't read too much into it. First of all, you don't seem to understand even the basics of what you're debating. The text you've removed from the article says that "New Keynesianism" forms part of current mainstream Macro. The current status of Neo-Keynesianism (the predecessor for New Keynesianism) isn't the subject of the text issue at issue. Second, the article I cited clearly states that mainstream macro is a synthesis between some New Keynesian and New Classical ideas. Several other articles also mention this synthesis and state it makes up the current mainstream. I will add them to the article soon. This discussion is better suited to a talk page. If you want to debate this further, please discuss at Talk:Neo-Keynesian economics.--Bkwillwm (talk) 03:29, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Spare me stuff like "ou don't seem to understand even the basics of what you're debating". If I told you my qualifications, be assured I would leave you behind by a mile. So stick to the subject and don't make this personal.

Where in the reference that you provide does it say "that "New Keynesianism" forms part of current mainstream Macro"? And where does the reference "clearly states that mainstream macro is a synthesis between some New Keynesian and New Classical ideas"? Steel2009 (talk) 22:35, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Until now, you've always used the term "Neo-Keynesianism" when the text in question and my arguments are regarding "New Keynesianism." It doesn't matter what your credentials are if you're missing the subject of the debate. Please see the cited section in Mankiw, and I'm adding another paper on the "New Neoclassical Synthesis", cited by Woodford and Mankiw.--Bkwillwm (talk) 04:44, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

You should follow the discussion, and not make obvious factual errors. If you keep making factual errors it becomes hard to discuss anything. You wrote "you've always used the term "Neo-Keynesianism" when the text in question" I had actually never used the word "Neo-Keynesianism" except to quote you once. I had used the word "Neo-Keynesian" (which is bad enough) without making it worse by saying "Neo-Keynesianism".

The text which I had originally edited was "This is known as the new Keynesian synthesis, and currently forms the mainstream of macroeconomic theory."

After a series of edits the text that you currently have written is "The new Keynesians helped create a "New Neo-Classical synthesis" that currently forms the mainstream of macroeconomic theory."

The current text is much much better than saying "new Keynesian synthesis" is the mainstream, as it says that "New Neo-Classical synthesis" is the mainstream, and that "new Keynesians" only "helped" create the "mainstream".

"New Neo-Classical synthesis" sounds much more like rational expectations and Neo-classical economics than anything Keynesian. If it incorporates Keynesian ideas like slowly adjusting prices and wages, that is acceptable to me.

There are still weasel words like "helped" and undefined and convoluted terms like "New Neo-Classical" (what next, New Nuovo Notun Naya Neu Neuf New-Classical?) in the current text that are a disservice to the lay readers, but it is not something I would like to spend any more time fixing.

Cheers,

Open Currency Areas

Having not followed the particular Keynesian source, it seemed like the Criticism section was a place for pot-shots from various theories, and since Keynesians were the only ones shooting, I figured I'd even the score. Open Currency Areas are not exactly common subjects for discussion in Austrian circles, but the notion of market determination of pretty much everything--and especially currencies--certainly is... so I thought I'd add the general information (which included in one of the sources a biographical note about Hayek favoring competing currencies), and then I synthesized the rest from the ether of Austrian readings which is stored in my personal cache (and, potentially, though not immediately, sourceable). Nonetheless, it's better sourced now and I even discovered that there is ONE article specifically about OCA's in the Austrian literature (don't worry, though, there are hundreds of tangential and supporting general competing currency/anti-monetary policy articles). I also have an inkling that just because something is unsourced it doesn't mean it's speculative, and I prefer it left to improve rather than just reverted. so long, 71.224.206.164 (talk) 10:36, 17 January 2010 (UTC).

WikiProject Economics census

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.

Thanks for catching this [1]. Atm, I don't have access to Mankiw and Romer, but you bringing it up makes me think that something from that should be included in the article. Like at least a general sentence or two on how the coconut model fits in with the broader neo-Keynesian framework (essentially because it establishes the importance of expectations and non-uniqueness of the natural rate of unemployment).

Congrats

The work you have accomplished on the Economy of the Iroquois is to be commended. Where did you find sources by the way? Congratulations again. ValenShephard (talk) 22:14, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. Most of the sources I found at my college library. A few of the professors specialized in Native American history, so I lucked out.--Bkwillwm (talk) 20:24, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
