[edit] Bank of Sweden Prize in Economics
There is no such thing as a Nobel Prize in Economics. Nobel never instituted a prize for economics, nor would he. Economists have free-rided the event to enhance their profession. The Bank of Sweden Prize for Economics was instituted with public money, tipical, and they forced their hand to be given at the same date. The marketing ploy is in the "In Memory of Alfred Nobel", which belies a laugh. Not even the most liberal economist would honor a monopolist business man, warmonger, inventor of Dynamite, suplier of the military. Only wikipedia can tell the truth. Britanica hires economists to write about the Nobel Prize in Economics and spread the small lie around.
User:Optim, I'm sure you're watching this page, so I'll reply to your comment on my talk page here! It was nice to have an appreciative comment, so thanks! Anyway, another possible improvement to the formatting of this article is re-arranging the external links -- there are a lot of them, and they're useful, but I think they seem a bit cluttered in the text. How about moving them to the relevant wikipedia articles or simply entering them as [1]? --Sam
- Yes you are right, I will take care. Thanks for the recommendation! Optim 00:08, 23 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- What you say about the "small lie" is true, but probably irrelevant. In practice, the "Nobel" prizes in Economics are awarded through a peer-review system much like the one used for "true" Nobel prizes. So, in my view, all the fuss about its pedigree is a bit of attempted upmanship by the members of "harder" sciences – which indeed may well be justified, but on other grounds.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Leontief-Harvard.jpg
Image:Leontief-Harvard.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

I'd like to include a photo of his birth certificate, as it is relevant and people still change the birth date (he thought most of his life that he was born in 1906 in Russia, but the certificate, when it was found, showed otherwise). However, I'm not sure - as an official document from Germany from 1905, is it public domain? AdamSmithee 08:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- The actual 1905 birth certificate would probably be public domain in the U.S. (and possibly in Germany, if it's considered an anonymous work), but the image you point to is not that. It appears to be a recent document (dated 2005), with a transcription of information from the original certificate. As such, the question is whether recent German government forms are copyrighted; I don't have a definitive answer myself, but it's likely to be yes. You could still cite it externally, though. --Davepape 14:06, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
