Monetary policy of the USA

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Monetary policy of the USA, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Monetary policy of the USA.

As a reminder, feel welcome to poke me if you need help in the future. — Coren ^(talk) 04:26, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Kylu asked me to do a CU. Totally opposite sides of the world. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:32, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, welcome, BigK. I will be up front that I was the one who had the suspicion of puppetry. Without going into a lot of detail, there were timing and subject matter coincidences that seemed unusual. My comments were acted on quicker than I thought possible, and I would have preferred there to be a full checkuser process. So, my apologies for what must have been an unusual and unpleasant welcome. Please forgive me, and Coren, for our own good faith reaction that you got caught up in inadvertently. And Coren, sorry that my suspicion was misguided and I got you involved. BigK, once again, welcome and good editing.--Gregalton (talk) 04:36, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

As to the blocking ... though I applaud Coren (and kylu!) for the help in shortening the unblock process I still think the rash blocking is unacceptable. I, myself, am the Lead Administrator of an online community, and am aware of the difficulties, but any community which develops the reputation for having a tyrannical Administration will not thrive --- "It is better to risk sparing a guilty person than to condemn an innocent one" as Voltaire said. It would have been quite simple to send me a message beforehand and give a reasonable response time. In my community, I don't have "revert" buttons (and it generally takes me rather long days at times for some problems), but it's still easier for me to fix the problems caused by a multiple account abuser, than it is to fix the reputation damage that banning a new user causes.

As for gregalton's concerns ... I read the karmaisking "fractional reserve" debacle. I find both sides were unreasonable. Karmaisking was hostile, and many of the detractors were gruff about their deletions ... further enraging karma. I don't think his citations had enough creditability, but most of the editors could have been more sensitive. gregalton was the only sensitive editor, but now on MY edits, deletion is the first proposal, along with less-than-credible claims of "repetition.

AfD nomination of Monetary policy of the USA

An editor has nominated Monetary policy of the USA, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Monetary policy of the USA and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 14:44, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 18:39, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Apologies

Hi BigK HeX, apologies for the confusion regarding the WP:WQA post. For what it's worth, I broadly agree with your comments about Zenwhat. Addhoc (talk) 22:57, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

A suggestion regarding your merger proposal

It looks like people are missing your point about the specific sections in socialized medicine that you are proposing be merged. May I suggest that you clarify the subheadings on the talk page -- expand to full section headings and link them to those sections in socialized medicine? Otherwise, I think we're going to head down the wrong road on the discussion and it will be hard to see if there's consensus on any of the section mergers. --Sfmammamia (talk) 17:41, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Fully agree.BigK HeX (talk) 17:46, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't be too surprised that people want a piece of the "fun" when you turn something into a game. BigK HeX (talk) 17:31, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Plenty more fun to come with KiK. You did well! JQ (talk) 04:20, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

It's all fun and games until someone's economy impodes...we should all grow up and realize financial economics is deadly serious and has a MORAL DIMENSION (i.e. it can KILL if FRB is used recklessly). - OurFutureIsDetroit (talk) 03:20, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

undue weight

Undue weight does not mean different viewpoints should be implied to be lesser. The Austrian school can have it's own section. It does not make up a large part of the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.125.108.39 (talk) 22:36, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Note please: WP:3RR

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on [[:Federal_Reserve_System#Business_cycles.2C_libertarian_philosophy_and_free_markets]]. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. --70.125.108.39 (talk) 08:15, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

== Not "BS Claim" "The Fed was largely responsible for converting what might have been a garden-variety recession, although perhaps a fairly severe one, into a major catastrophe. Instead of using its powers to offset the depression, it presided over a decline in the quantity of money by one-third from 1929 to 1933 ... Far from the depression being a failure of the free-enterprise system, it was a tragic failure of government." —Milton Friedman, Two Lucky People, 233 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.125.108.39 (talk) 15:32, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Apparently, your comprehension of English is terribly inadequate .... most literate people find a significant diffence between

• it presided over a decline in the quantity of money...from 1929 to 1933

and your BS claim

• Milton Friedman... argued that the Federal Reserve System directly caused the Great Depression through monetary inflation in the 1920s.

So, feel free to cite your crap, though its pretty obvious that you're grasping to add some sort of credibility to that section, even if you have to contort the facts in order to do so. Good luck with that. BigK HeX (talk) 16:28, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Federal Reserve

Thanks. These kinds of disruptive edits happen in a cyclical fashion on all major economics articles. It might be worthwhile to get the article protected if it persists.radek (talk) 02:22, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

August 2009

I'd like to remind you to use discussion and avoid excessive use of reverts so as to prevent an edit war on Austrian School. Thanks. Nja²⁴⁷ 07:08, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

One of the reverts was used to correct typos in my "history" comment, but you have my apologies, all the same. BigK HeX (talk) 07:20, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
