Proposed deletion of Stochocracy

edit
 

The article Stochocracy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not appear to be a notable concept of government.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Stochocracy

edit

If you can show that it is notable and verifiable then it will stay. If not then not. There is nothing 'political' about this. Oratory serves no purpose. Hard work done well is rewarded with articles remaining and being improved. Thi paragraph below may be helpful:

 

Thank you for your recent contributions. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft version first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, with less risk of speedy deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version. Thank you. Fiddle Faddle (talk)

I flagged the Articles section as lending undue weight to the topic because it is unwieldy. Please look at formatting it differently. There is a suggestion on the article talk page which also applies to the Books section.

At present I am in doubt about the article. Is the man notable enough for inclusion? There is no need to answer my doubts here. Please simply make the article assert and cite his notability better. That he wrote things is not of itself notable. That others speak in reliable sources of what he wrote is what makes them notable. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 09:38, 6 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Some time ago I wrote down my thoughts about what makes a decent article. You may find User:Timtrent/A good article useful background reading. I hope it adds something to your time on Wikipedia. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 09:52, 6 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Minimum wage

edit

Regarding this edit, can you please move that addition down to the "meta-analysis" section where such sources are discussed? Also, is the Neumark source peer reviewed? If not, you should probably leave it out, because on a topic this contentious, there are bound to be non-peer reviewed non-journal sources on both sides, and we have to limit to only the very most reliable of all sources.

Regarding this edit, increasing the minimum wage can indeed increase the velocity of cash and the money supply, can it not? EllenCT (talk) 09:58, 25 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Important Notice

edit

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in climate change. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
