[edit] Supply and demand

It's big it has pictures, what else does it needs? Just kidding, it seems a great article, surprises me it's not featured already.--Alexandre Van de Sande 16:59, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • Abstain. The content seems ok, but the article needs much more ilinks (wikifying and such). Shouldn't external links and references be separated? I will change my vote when I have more time to carefuly read the entire article - those are very important concepts in the economics and deserve a very good article. As a side note, note that supply is a redirect to this article, but demand deoesn't even mention it (perhaps disambig or rediect is needed here?), also ilinks to those terms needs to be created/fixed from various economics-related articles. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 23:50, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • I have wikified a lot of topics throughout. Are there any more that you think would be useful to wikify? The separate supply and demand articles, especially the demand article are so bad they need to be rewritten. That of course does not affect this article. - Taxman 19:42, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)
  • I also wikified some links, they look better now. I will wait a little more though, I need to think a little more about wheter this article is complete.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 20:47, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Support. I flagged the difference between partial and general equilbrium models in the header, this seems a fairly good explanation of partial equilbrium supply and demand. Psychobabble 01:19, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • The problem with this is that it makes the intro significantly more difficult to understand for the layperson. I'm not sure the extra accuracy is worth that cost. - Taxman 19:42, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)
  • This looks pretty good, but could rewrite at least the first sentence of the lead section? It is currently rather difficult to understand for the layman. Terms like microeconomic, Marshallian and equilibrium should be brief like explained (f.e. Marshallian could be something like: "conceived by the important economist Alfred Marshall).

Sorry, that's my fault. I'll se what I can do. Psychobabble

  • Support. -- ALoan (Talk) 12:55, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Support - great article, explains everything I already forgot from my microeconomics class a couple years ago. Spangineer 17:07, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)
  • Support -- though I'd like to see the Supply and demand#History of supply and demand section expanded. 172 19:11, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
