[edit] Marginal utility

thank you so much for the improvements. At the time, I was writing a paper on marginal utility and wasn't sure if I understood it completely, so I looked to wikipedia for some help... obviously I was dissapointed. Had this version of the article been there then, I'm sure it would've helped me a lot. —Xiaoxitu 03:28, 28 December 2006 (UTC).

Good job on the marginal utility article. I'm glad someone finally showed up who understands it more thoroughly than me and others. You may want to improve the marginalism article too. Also the labor theory of value, subjective theory of value, and paradox of value articles may be of interest. Thanks for your efforts. —Anarcho-capitalism 01:26, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. After I've done some more work on that article, I plan to tackle the Marginalism article. I may deal with some of the others later. —SlamDiego 01:40, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

By the way, if you could provide sources that would be great, otherwise the information is eventually going to be deleted by someone who doesn't like what it says. —Anarcho-capitalism 01:31, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

The history section has lots of explicit referencing, so I assume that your concern is for the earlier section. I could put sourcing thereïn, but a problem would be that those same foes could reject any of the potential sources. —SlamDiego 01:40, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Well, according to policy, as long as the sources are from books that are not self-published by the authors or from articles that were published in journals, they they can't reject them. If they delete sourced information, it's considered disruptive and vandalistic. If something is not sourced, according to policy, anyone is free to delete it. And believe me they will. —Anarcho-capitalism 01:47, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I don't deny your point. It's just that there's a limit to what can be done here. —SlamDiego 02:05, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for rewording the claim about Hazlitt and the Austrian School. Your verbiage is definitely more accurate. I did restore the italics that you removed from one of the quotations (for the sake of intra-article consistency). Cheers, DickClarkMises 17:20, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User notice: temporary 3RR block

[edit] Regarding reversions[1] made on March 10, 2007 to Marginal utility

You have been temporarily blocked for violation of the three-revert rule. Please feel free to return after the block expires, but also please make an effort to discuss your changes further in the future. The duration of the block is 12 hours. William M. Connolley 17:39, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

There's an old joke about nuclear grenades: “Who'd throw it?” I guess that we have one answer. —SlamDiego 17:52, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
For the record: These reversions weren't of the same set of changes, and weren't (on my reading of the 3RR) a violation of the 3RR. But the issue probably wouldn't be worth argument even if it weren't moot. —SlamDiego 23:31, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
