[edit] Help request for logging in

Dear RJFJR: You were my greeter in March when I was a Wiki newbie. What a difference a few months make. I have since created a couple of articles near the top of Google searches for that subject (perhaps more usual than not, I admit). Thomasmeeks 01:15, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Social Choice and Individual Values

I screen the WP collection of articles once in a while so I wounded up reading your article.

It lacks in :

  • sectionning
  • inline citations
  • NPOVness, it has point-of-vue orientation (though I don't know the subject very well)
  • as you say, linking to other articles to let other people give feedback
  • that there is no lead section appropriate to what encyclopaedic search for

See Krazy Kat or The Illuminatus! Trilogy for template-like articles that can help with improving the article.

Other than that, your prose is really good and the text flows when I read it. Best of luck. Lincher 15:30, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

It looks good to me, but its still missing inline citations (as in referencing the books that were used for the article). For more info you should ask a Peer review or go into Good article phase in order to get more in depth advices. Lincher 15:01, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
I cannot give you more info on your article, to me it seems well written and referenced though some other fellas might find it needs more and a Good article nomination can help you with that. Lincher 23:17, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
I removed the cleanup tag for you, you could have done it. As for the spoiler, it can stay there, since it tells people that they might find info from the book on the article. Lincher 01:12, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User Talk page

It is easier if you write on my user_talk page so that when I log on, I can see your comments or questions. Thanks Lincher 14:55, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Social Choice and Individual Values

((help me)) 1. This is the title of a new WP article I wrote. How can I make GO connect to it if I use only lower case for the GO window?

2. I'd like to get review comments as to clarity and content on it before I put links in other articles. Should I just go to the Talk page of related articles and solicit comments on the Discussion Talk page for Social Choice and Individual Values? (It's about a book by the economic theorist Kenneth Arrow.)

Thx. Thomasmeeks 23:23, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

  1. A redirect should do the trick. I already created one for you, but for more info check out Help:Redirect.
  2. Posting on talk pages sounds like a great way to get more feedback. I would also suggest Wikipedia:WikiProject Books as another good place to ask for feedback and see more details about this type of article. --Hetar 23:28, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your message

Thanks for the message on my talk page. I'm not sure where I saw Social Choice and Individual Values... did you post about it on the Help Desk? It's on my watchlist and I often answer (and ask!) questions there. MCB 05:02, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Public Choice Theory

Great work on the PCT article. Feel free to remove the cleanup banner when you feel comfortable with it. You've satisfied my reasons for adding it. Morphh 13:19, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, that's pretty authoritative. Thx, Morphh. You were right to post the banner, and I wouldn't have been emboldened to act without it. I may do a bit more on the article, but I'll return the honor of retiring the banner to you.
I think that the substance is there, but the article could still use some concision. Wish that there were a banner for that. Maybe there should be. Or I could at least post this on the PCT Talk page. BW, Thomasmeeks 11:39, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] John P. Meier

I answered your question on my talk page with some page numbers, then went back and corrected them; sorry if you picked up the first (incorrect) edit. If you have a copy of AMJ handy you might select some quotations (I did my checking at the bookstore); otherwise, I'll add them when I'm next at the main library. Cheers, Michael K.
