[edit] Speedy deletion of "Uppsala Auktionskammare"

A page you created, Uppsala Auktionskammare, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is nonsense or gibberish.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thanks. Cretog8 (talk) 09:03, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

It may be of interest to know that identical articles in Swedish and English were written for Wikipedia. The Swedish article was accepted but the English article was considered nonsense or gibberish. Max7437 (talk) 16:32, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Hee! That makes sense. Did you just accidentally submit the Swedish one to the English wikpedia? Cretog8 (talk) 17:36, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vickrey not Canadian

Well, technically not Canadian. It appears he was born there but became a U.S. citizen. Nobel page.

According to the William Vickrey page he remained a Canadian citizen although he was a US resident most of his life. Max7437 (talk) 09:30, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, I guess that will have to change, too. Encarta entry. Cretog8 (talk) 09:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences has him both Canadian and U.S. Any suggestions how to proceed? Not sure if Wikipedia thinks that birth-country counts in its own right.Cretog8 (talk) 09:40, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Well, he looks USian to me. I'm going to go ahead and change this where I find it, unless someone turns up evidence that he considered himself Canadian or something.Cretog8 (talk) 09:52, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

It seems he arrived in the USA aged 1 and became a US citizen in 1945. No exact date for this has been found however. Max7437 (talk) 10:29, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] dummy bids and such

Hello Max-I'm not sure about your recent edits on dummy bids in Auction. I wasn't familiar with "dummy bid" being used in this fashion. Some web searching on it does turn it up, but every example I found is Australia-specific. I did come up with a few examples where "dummy bid" is used in different ways.

In contrast, I believe the term "shill" inherently means deceitful, so "if clearly declared as such by the auctioneer" could not apply to a shill bid.

My impression from this is that "dummy bid" is an Australia-specific term of art, where "shill bid" would be the common term in English-speaking countries. I've never heard of a "Co-owner bid".

I also think the last sentence: "In Sweden there are no legal restrictions, but it will severely hurt the reputation of an auction house that knowingly permits any other bids than genuine bids." is too specific to Sweden, so doesn't belong in a general article on auctions.
