Looks like your off to a great start. Id include some information that explains market trends to individuals that dont have a background in statistics as well. looks like all the numbers are there but id provide details of what these numbers physically resemble and create that image of how it has effected our economy and commuties throughout this period of trending.

Thanks for the feedback! As it stands now I'm working to obtain a time series data set that will allow me to generate graphical displays of the trends, so the article talks more about the changes in participation and less about plain facts.RobLierenz (talk) 15:34, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Nice start

Rob, this is a nice start. You'll want to include some links to your definitions in the lead. Also, I wonder if the piece might also work in this section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_marketMcassell04 (talk) 13:37, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, RobLierenz. I agree with Mcassell04 above. I think this would be a great addition to Stock_market. Let me know if you need a hand integrating it. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:19, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello Adam, I have included my contribution on the stock market page, but I'm having a little trouble with my references. In total my contribution only cites 6 different sources, but each reference is marked as a different source at the bottom of the page. Is there any way to consolidate this for the sake of simplicity?

• Hi RobLierenz. Yes! You can re-use citations in the visual editor as described here. They'll show up to the reader as pointers to the same source. I just consolidated one reference on your page. I also recommend you use reference templates instead of bare links. See Ggplot2 for an example of this. This will allow you to add metadata for references and will help future editors find the correct source if the link dissapears. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:57, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
