This might sound like a dumb question

Does econometrics – not the article itself, but all topics within the scope of econometrics – fall under the purview of this WikiProject? I'm asking because I'm currently adding WikiProject ratings for articles and redirects on econometric topics (e.g., statistical/econometric tests, econometric modeling-related concepts, and econometric models like Wald test, structural break, and GARCH, respectively). Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 21:29, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

I'm still intermittently categorizing pages, so I'm just going to continue operating under the assumption that econometric concepts fall within the scope of this project unless there's an objection to this sometime in the near future; I really don't feel like going back through dozens of pages to remove the {{WikiProject Economics}} template. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 21:25, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Yes, the ones you named and other econometrics articles do belong in WikiProject Economics, and in WikiProject Statistics too. Thank you for doing it! -- econterms (talk) 17:45, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

Use of GDP per capita as an inflation adjustment

There was a discussion at Template_talk:Inflation#Nominal_vs._real_GDP which prompted a deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2018_January_25#Inflation-related_templates_that_were_initially_created_by_mistake.

Draft:Uzawa's Theorem

Will someone review this draft, please? Is it technically sound, and should it be accepted? Robert McClenon (talk) 04:40, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

It's fine and notable. I am generally not in favor of having proofs in math or economics pages except when the proof itself is particularly important. I'll try to take a look at the page tomorrow for copyvio and exposition, but if I forget, and if copyvio checks are passed, feel free to accept it. Smmurphy^(Talk) 06:32, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Crypto-cities

Is there a category for these hiding anywhere? I am working on a piece about the one -possibly- being built by cryptocurrency moguls in the Caribbean, with enough references to elaborate and prove notability...

Irish GDP (and GNP) replaced by GNI*

Hi, the Central Bank of Ireland has (finally) admitted Irish GDP (and GNP) are too distorted by multinational fund flows (like Apple), to be useful as economic statistics. They have now published GNI* (or Modified GNI) as their recommended metric. I wrote a wiki on Modified gross national income. I think Ireland's GDP per capita (and GNP per capita) figures should be replaced with GNI* per capita on the relevant pages, and on the datafeeds used for the Economy of Ireland / Republic of Ireland (and related) pages. Is this a fair conclusion. thanks Britishfinance (talk) 20:28, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

WikiProject collaboration notice from the Portals WikiProject

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.

Portals are being redesigned.

The new design features are being applied to existing portals.

At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{Transclude lead excerpt}}.

The discussion about this can be found here.

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.

Background

On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.

There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.

So far, 84 editors have joined.

If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.

If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.

Thank you.    — The Transhumanist   10:55, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Various Economics drafts

Over on WP:WPM we been working on identifying draft which come under our project and reviewing them at Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/List of math draft pages. Part of this process involved finding draft which had mathematical of chemical equations in them.

Help needed at Equity premium puzzle

Hi, I could do with someone who understands economics and suchlike (as I do not) to help out at Talk:Equity premium puzzle. There is a bit of a dispute between editors about the article. There have been discussions about COI and "ownership" of the article by one editor. ExpertIdeasBot left a message from an expert saying the article is lacking "many important contributions to this literature". I am unable to mediate this as I don't know thing one about the subject matter. Thanks. Fish+Karate 09:06, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

The article should have been under the WP:ECON umbrella from the start. Sadly it's been orphaned at WP:POLITICS for way too long, and is in dire need of review and clean up.

Please open the the original SVG file on a desktop browser other than Internet Explorer to interact with and explore the statistical analysis within the image) in which I have included data, mainly extracted from this PDF (mostly starting from page 159).

To improve the usability and quality of this interactive image, I would like to get some feedback or critique from an economist, journalist or researcher specialized in tax avoidance or international structures of companies. In particular, I would like to hear what other data categories I should include into the image for particular interest.

Kind regards, Vincent Mia Edie Verheyen (talk) 15:15, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

My primary comment is not as a specialist, but as an ordinary user: wow, that's really cool! I had no ideas SVG's could do that!

If you are planning on using this to illustrate tax structuring, the next logical step in my mind would be having some representation of tax payments in there. That could be another shaded category according to tax paid, or perhaps some arrows. I don't know the exact structure of these particular companies, and the underlying reality may be too complicated to represent uniformly. But at the moment it's not immediately obvious what conclusion I am to draw from the image other than just that "capital, income, and assets are not necessarily correlated with one another" when it comes to holding companies. But maybe that's enough.

Again, super cool! MarginalCost (talk) 03:14, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Industrial organization, and the space launch services industry

Would love to get another pair of eyes on the changes being seen in the space launch service provider industry in recent years, as more economic incentives appear and have effect in the launch services industry. Unlike any other mode of transport (automobile, marine, train, aircraft), this industry, for the first five+ decades that humans possessed spaceflight technology, had been principally a government and nation state thing, where even commercial orbital payloads (after c. 1980) flew on launch vehicles that had been developed, and were often operated by, government agencies. The industry has begun to undergo (somewhat) rapid change in the past decade.

To that end, would like to invite any interested editor to take a serious look at Space launch market competition, and join me in improving the article. Cheers. N2e (talk) 14:47, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Proposal to split Economic_inequality

Hello, I would like to split Economic inequality. According to this link the article is 202 kB and WP:SIZESPLIT suggests an article be split after 40 kB. Also, on the top of the page is a banner that is two years old suggesting the article should be split.

Since I am new, I would like to build a consensus first, rather than WP:BRD. To that end, I put a post on Talk:Economic_inequality and am contacting everyone who has edited the page in the past month and, in addition, I am contacting all the concerned Wikiprojects.

Thanks for your time and please come down to discuss! Seahawk01 (talk) 01:40, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

Long tables of statistics in the "Economy of" pages - keep, cut, move, or discuss?

Many of the "Economy of" pages contain a long list of statistics, along the lines of: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Economy_of_India#Data

I'm not sure precisely how these statistics help the typical Wikipedia user.

It's difficult to see trends in the data in a long table like this - graphs would be much easier to read and understand.

There's no discussion of the data - it's just plonked there - so the typical reader doesn't know what to make of it.

Someone who wanted to download the data would be better off with a link to the original source, e.g. the IMF, because that would contain for example a clear definitions of terms, and have more download options.

Anyone who just wants the latest numbers can generally find them in the box at the top right in the Wikipedia page.

To my mind, these long lists of economic data violate the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information"

In particular this guideline: Excessive listings of unexplained statistics. Statistics that lack context or explanation can reduce readability and may be confusing; accordingly, statistics should be placed in tables to enhance readability, and articles with statistics should include explanatory text providing context. Where statistics are so lengthy as to impede the readability of the article, the statistics can be split into a separate article and summarized in the main article. (e.g., statistics from the main article United States presidential election, 2012 have been moved to a related article Nationwide opinion polling for the United States presidential election, 2012). Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists offers more guidance on what kind of lists are acceptable, and Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists#Selection criteria offers guidance on what entries should be included.

Thoughts? Replace the statistics with a link to the IMF? Create a hundred or so "economic data on ..." pages? This would make the individual "economy of" pages more readable, at the cost of making Wikipedia harder to navigate. And then someone would start expanding the "data on the economy of" page, and adding statistics back into the other page...

I personally would favour cutting all but the most recent statistics, and replacing them with links or graphs. But it's a lot of work. Thoughts?Fwoolley (talk) 19:16, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

What level should econometrics/statistics articles be pitched at?

A friend of mine used Wikipedia's econometrics articles to get through her graduate econometrics courses, and for writing her PhD thesis. At one level it's great that the articles are so accurate and authoritative that researchers use them.

But I'm thinking the typical person looking up logit, tobit, OLS etc on Wikipedia most likely to be an undergrad, or less sophisticated user.

Thoughts on dumbing down the econometrics articles, or at least putting a non-technical section before all of the technical stuff? Huge amounts of work for minimal benefit? Would it make the articles excessively long and clunky? A great idea that would serve the Wikipedia user community?Fwoolley (talk) 19:01, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

Article leads are supposed to be an accessible summary of the body, so that would be the best place to restate graduate-level content from the body using non-technical language. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 19:37, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

Simplifying the leads would help. But the leads aren't the place to put substantive content, e.g. a basic introductory-level explanation of what OLS is, how and when it works, what its advantages and disadvantages are. There's still a need for the kind of non-technical explanation of OLS that can be found in, e.g. Peter Kennedy's Guide to Econometrics, or Angrist's Mastering Metrics.Fwoolley (talk) 19:54, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

Oh. Generally, the reading level of a section of an article should be as high/technical as necessary to sufficiently cover the subtopic. That said, I agree that what you've proposed covering would be useful for these articles. Systematically implementing that in articles on statistical models would probably require the creation of a {{WikiProject style advice}} page with input from WP:WikiProject Statistics and other editors from this WikiProject though. It certainly wouldn't hurt to standardize the layout and scope of coverage in these articles. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 01:01, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

I like the idea of creating a style advice guide along those lines. Probably not something I'll get to any time soon, but that points to a way to build consensus.Fwoolley (talk) 01:26, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

We do have the WP:TECHNICAL guideline, which discusses best practices for writing technical articles. It's not exactly a style guide, but has plenty of good advice. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 03:05, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

HELP WANTED

For a number of years we have been experiencing a steady decline in the number of administrators as a result of attrition and a declining number of editors willing to consider adminship. Things have reached a point where we are starting to experience chronic backlogs in important areas of the project including noticeboards, requests for closure, SPI, CSD & etc. If you are an experienced editor with around two years (or more) of tenure, 10k edits give or take and no record of seriously disruptive behavior, please consider if you might be willing to help out the community by becoming an administrator. The community can only function as well as we all are willing to participate. If you are interested start by reading WP:MOP and WP:RFAADVICE. Then go to WP:ORCP and open a discussion. Over the next few days experienced editors will take a look at your record and let you know what they think your chances are of passing RfA (the three most terrifying letters on Wikipedia) as well as provide you with feedback on areas that might be of concern and how to prepare yourself. You can find a list of experienced editors who may be willing to nominate you here. Finally, I may not have this page on my watchlist, so if you want to reply to me directly please ping me.

Econ portals

I noticed that The Transhumanist created Portal:Economics, and while a lot of the portals they have created are being considered for deletion, I believe this portal is worth saving. While Portal:Business and economics is better maintained than the new econ portal, I think business and econ should have separate portals because they are different subjects with some overlap. Right now, the "cover article" is Business economics, which only covers the intersection of business and economics; this portal's scope is the union of business and economics. How should we deal with the two portals? Qzekrom 💬 ^they_them 03:30, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

I agree that the economics portal should be retained and that it is unhelpful to lump business and economics together. I would favour reducing the economics content in the business economics portal and making economics a ‘related portal’ there rather than a subcategory.

'Supply Creates its own demand' removal suggestion

There is an article Supply creates its own demand which is seemingly wholly encompassed in scope (though written differently) from what appears in section 5.1 of Say's law. I'm not sure why there should be a dedicated page for this, and moreso the title is very likely to cause confusion with the article on Say's law itself. In fact, that's how I found it, I was searching for Say's law..

Real bills doctrine

Could someone create an article on the real bills doctrine?

I deleted the article, rather than wiping everything infringing, because the scale of the infringement made me suspect that the whole article would be worthless if I just cut the bad content, and I doubted that we'd want the stub that was present in the first few revisions.

Neutrality and original research issues in articles related to Medicaid estate recovery

Recently, I noted that some of the content about Medicaid estate recovery that was added to the following articles introduced neutrality and original research issues into these articles:

• Medicaid estate recovery (edit talk links history): Special:Diff/682619084/912949236
• Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (edit talk links history): Special:Diff/909824345/912954601
• Massachusetts health care reform (edit talk links history): Special:Diff/901904756/912699623
• Health insurance coverage in the United States (edit talk links history): Special:Diff/905346028/912738497
• Health insurance in the United States (edit talk links history): Special:Diff/910497164/912742742
• Medicaid (edit talk links history): Special:Diff/909480199/909790623

I brought this to the neutral point of view noticeboard at WP:NPOVN § Medicaid estate recovery and User:NormSpier, and the editor who added the content (NormSpier) agreed to have it examined for policy compliance.

If you are interested in the topic of Medicaid estate recovery, or in United States healthcare laws in general, please help us review the newly added content at the noticeboard discussion or on the talk pages of these articles. Thanks. — Newslinger talk 13:50, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Historical estimates of GWP at market exhange rates?

I've been reading the Wikipedia article on Gross World Product, which includes a table showing Bradford DeLong's work on estimating its historical values. However, DeLong, as Maddison has done before (and as he references in his work) uses purchasing power parity (PPP) to exchange the nominal currencies to 1990 Gheary-Khamis US dollars, the currency in which he gives his final ciphers. This could be expanded by including estimates calculated at market exchange rates, going as far back as 1880 (when the gold standard began to be used), and that's what I'm trying to do. The problem is that nobody seems to have done those calculations? Do you know of any source for that? Or a way to calculate them myself? Miguerum (talk) 16:59, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Proposal for Workforce in country XX

I'm quite involved with the WikiProject Organized Labour. I've recently been involved with two articles covering workforce issues of India and Nepal. The articles are somewhat poorly named as Labour in Nepal and Labour in India. It's a little confusing because these could imply a political party, childbirth, and work. At the same time the issue itself is very significant - that is, the labour force and labour market within national economies - that the issue deserves stand alone articles for every country. It is generally seen as a subset of economic issues, but overlaps with demographics, law, history and politics. I've done some precursory searches through the archives, but not had any luck finding conversations on this issue before. If editors thought this was a good idea would seem the following:
1. An Ngram search comparing:

labour force,labour market,workforce

labor force,labor market,workforce

shows workforce as the overwhelmingly common usage (although interestingly a recent change). Although labour force and workforce are synonymous, labour market is not. I would generally argue that workforce in XX would be better as a general title since workforce is universal, whereas one could be part of the workforce but not be in the labour market (eg a person not looking for work), so labour markets could be covered within these articles. Also Labor force in the United States exists, but with Workforce could avoid US/UK english spelling issues.
2. An infobox could be created for each article using {{infobox economy}} as a base and including key labour market statistics defined by OECD and ILO.
3. Relevant to a number of other projects (Countries, Organized Labour, Statistics) - I've left a note on those projects of the comment here.

Hi - I wonder whether someone would be able to take a quick look at this series of edits and see whether the content and sourcing is sound.

What are the appropriate number of threads on this Wikiproject talk page?

Regarding [4], what do other editors think the appropriate number of threads to leave displayed on this talk page should be? My understanding is that it is not uncommon for wikiprojects to have dozens of simultaneous projects. EllenCT (talk) 23:00, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

In my experience, 20 minimum threads seems to be rather high when configured to an age of 90 days. WikiProject Finance & WikiProject Globalization use 6 & 5 minimum threads respectively. However, they are configured to expire threads after only 30 days. I think WikiProject Economics would benefit from a minimum thread count of 5 to 10, and an expiry of 30 to 45 days. My general view is that minimum threads and thread expiry should generally have an inverse relationship: less-active projects warrant threads sticking around longer because it takes longer for them to get attention, while more-active projects may not need threads to stick around as long since they may resolve more quickly, and may instead have a desire to see more minimum threads since there will likely be more things to discuss. Ultimately it boils down to what a project is willing to handle. On talk pages with an aggressive auto-archiving configuration, editors can always include a <!-- [[User:DoNotArchiveUntil]] 12:00, 01 January 2020 (UTC) --> exception at the beginning of a talk page thread to exempt it from archiving (and remove it when the participants deem the thread ready for normal archiving).

Petition to improve the Women Economists Page

Hello!

I was redirected to the Women Economists (a list of women who are economists) page via the Women In Economics (research on the presence of women in the field of economics) page, which claimed there were "hundreds more" women listed on the WE page. However, when I visited, there were 7 entries, a couple of which were not individual women.

A quick google search of "women economists" returns a Worth.com article detailing 16 "powerhouse" female economists. This tells me that we can do at least 9 women significantly more justice by including them on the WE page. I would love to see them, and many more women included on that page, if someone would be willing to do the work.

Ricardo-Viner model: spelling mistake in the title

Hello I was working on the article about Ricardo-Viner's specific factors model (adding links from other articles to it since it's flagged as orphan). I'm writing here because the title of the article is wrong: it should be Ricardo (without an H), while the Wiki-article is called "Richardo-Viner model" (with the H). In the Talk section of the article I see that the spelling mistake has been notified already in 2018 by another user. Yet, the issue is unresolved. Hence, I'm writing here.

Draft:Real bills doctrine

I have declined this draft as being written as a statement of the author's opinion, that the doctrine is discredited. I have requested that the submitter work with other editors to rewrite it. If economists consider the doctrine to be discredited, an article should state that economists consider it to be discredited. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:10, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

This article's author does not intend to discredit the real bills doctrine, but instead to define it, to show its history of varied interpretations by multiple economists, and to show that its effect, good or bad, is dependent on the circumstances of the institutional environment in which it is used.Mitzi.humphrey (talk) 18:21, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Project contributions as an assignment

I am teaching a course at the University of Queensland. Last year, I had my students create a Wikiversity course as an assignment.

This year I plan to have the students contribute to WikiProject Economics. Each student will pick an article from a list to edit to bring the page up to good/featured article level. For the list, I wanted to use the "Economics articles by quality and importance" table and assign pages with low quality and high importance. However, quality assessments seem to be dated. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Also, please let me know if you have any other advice or comments. De economist (talk) 03:54, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

The quality assessments are not very accurate, but it's the best we have AFAIK. If you are having undergraduates work on the articles, you have to drill into them these rules:

1. Try to state things as neutrally and objectively as possible.
2. Stick to summarizing reliable sources, do not inject opinion.
3. Every paragraph needs at least one reference, every factual statement needs a reference, every single quote needs a reference and must state who said the quote.

Goodluck! LK (talk) 13:53, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Template:Industries

Please could someone explain to me the provenance of Template:Industries. I am very concerned that it appears to project an authoritative view of Industry classification but, in reality, represents just one point of view. The reason I ask is that there is a discussion under way at Talk:Industry and at Talk:Industry classification, about the relationship between those two articles. My main concern is that the Industry classification article should not be damaged through any merger with the Industry article. The latter seems to project - in its lede - a particular view of Industry classification, while the former describes many different Industry classification schemes. The particular view I mention seems to be reinforced by the Industries Template. This Template is used at the foot of the Industry article and was added also to the Industry classification article yesterday. As its presence there seemed to spit in the face of the thousands of people worldwide who work on and/or make use of the various Industry classification schemes, I have reversed that edit. I hope that this won't result in a to-and-fro tussle. Returning to my opening sentence, what is the provenance of Template:Industries? How does it relate to the many existing Industry classification schemes? Does it reflect one such scheme? If so, which one? Thanks! Misha Wolf (talk) 13:30, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi, so I've actually had that template on my radar recently though I haven't worked on it yet. To answer your questions...

• I think it was created several years ago by a user that then moved on.
• Since then, it's had entries dumped into it and occasionally cleaned out.
• It looks like it simply evolved like most things on Wikipedia; I'm pretty sure it's not following any one standard.

That said, I'm more concerned that several entries are wrong according to basics I imagine most standards agree on:

• E.g. software & education are only tertiary but alcohol, bicycles, fur, and sex-workers are quaternary? wat.
• I don't know if it should be cut from pages though, if only so it's more likely editors with the time notice it & fix it.

I did see someone recently skimmed it, made improvements, and fixed up the primary & secondary sectors.

• I totally support them if they want to make more edits.
• OTOH if nobody else plans to work on it in the next few months, I was going to tweak it using v4 of the ISIC as a guideline.

--Zar2gar1 (talk) 00:07, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for that information. If the template is changed to reflect one of the many Industry classification schemes, eg ISIC, then please can its heading ("Major industries") be changed to reflect that fact rather than continue to present the template's content as forming some kind of Wikipedia-endorsed authoritative scheme. Thanks. Misha Wolf (talk) 09:33, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

Help needed with Economics of global warming and Economics of climate change mitigation

Hello from WikiProject Climate change,

We can see that Economics of global warming and Economics of climate change mitigation are in great need of improvement, but I for one do not have enough time or knowledge of economics and am intimidated by the size and technicality of the articles.

An example of a lack is that the following is all I could find in Economics of climate change mitigation about the 1.5C target:

"The Paris Agreement is, unlike Kyoto, calling upon all countries (developed and developing) to equally aid in their goal of keeping the global temperature from rising by 2 degrees Celsius pre-industrial standard, while actively following efforts to keep that number to below 1.5 degrees Celsius. The UNFCCC aims to accomplish this with aid to all countries, through financial assistance, a new technological framework, among other measures of assistance, while remaining accountable with the implementation of their transparency framework."

But surely by now studies have been done on the cost-benefits of 1.5C and economists must have opinions on whether cost-benefit analysis is the right method to use for 1.5C. That is just one example.

Would anyone have the time to give them a thorough revision?

Regards

Hello friends. I recently gave the Fed its own section in the following article: U.S. federal government response to the COVID-19 pandemic#Federal_Reserve. However, it could use attention from somebody that knows macro-economics and the Fed better than me. Basically, the section talks about the Fed's actions during the COVID-19 pandemic and the stock market correction in March. But the section stops there, and doesn't cover any of the Fed's actions in the months after that. Sometimes I hear the talking point "the Fed has spent $5 trillion dollars bailing out big businesses".

Ceaușescu's debt shenanigans: the uncertain conclusion

I'm in a situation that bugs me, a lot. Sources say that he made Romania debt-free. Then other sources say that Romania in 1989 had virtually (key word here) zero debt. This intrigued me, so I proceeded to look for hard numbers. Well, the 1990 CIA World Factbook lists Romania's debt as "none" as of mid-1989 (source 1). But then I find another source which breaks down all Soviet bloc external debts and...it ain't 0, not really. It's 0.4 billion as of 1989. What is zero in this source is the debt to the big bodies (IMF, World Bank) (source 2). Initially I thought that the Factbook overlooked this as too small, hence listing it as "none". But that can't be right, for the 1991 edition lists Romania's debt as of mid-1990 as...precisely 400 million, what the other source lists as the 1989 debt (source 3). I think of two possibilities: either the Factbook says "external debt" but actually means "public debt" (ie the state's debt, not including its individual citizens, but then again this was a totalitarian Communist state), or Romania somehow borrowed $400 million in the last days of 1989 after Ceaușescu was overthrown. Can anyone please help me make sense of all this? Is the debt 0 or 0.4 billion? Cause I want to write a comprehensive paragraph about the end result of his austerity policy, and I want to make sure I get it right. Transylvania1916 (talk) 17:57, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Does withholding MFN count as sanctions?

I personally think so but I'm not sure. I have a source here. It states that MFN is the rule rather than the exception, and - with exceptions - MFN was withheld from the Communist countries during the Cold War. Can thus withholding MFN count as sanctions/economic warfare? Source here. Transylvania1916 (talk) 21:33, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Unsourced stub article

This article has remained an unsourced stub since its creation in 2006, despite having been expanded a bit from the pgraph it orig started off as. Seeing that no one has cared to source it in all this time, until recently when a new section was created and 3 sources added there (1 of which is an unrel source per WP:KO/RS and should be removed), should the stub be left on WP or would it be okay to nominate it for deletion? -- Carlobunnie (talk) 03:45, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

User script to detect unreliable sources

Main page: User:Headbomb/unreliable

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

• John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

• John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Adding 2-3 paragraphs on inequality to the Economics and related articles

Please see and comment at Talk:Economics#Inequality regarding a couple of paragraphs paraphrased from the Economic inequality article's introduction which I've proposed adding to the top-level Economics article, which at present has no discussion of inequality at all, and apparently never has. I find this astonishing for a topic which has been so prominent in the literature for decades now, and I hope it will be addressed.

Another very serious problem with the Economics article is that its "Inflation and monetary policy" section contains no discussion of inflation whatsoever. I proposed a correction to this a couple weeks ago, which was inserted and quickly reverted today. Please see and comment at Talk:Economics#The "Inflation and monetary policy" section doesn't have anything about inflation in it, if you can help correct this issue.

Finally, a couple weeks ago I also proposed inserting a sentence about the Economic Policy Institute's recent analysis of the effects on income inequality on growth and recovery rates in the United States in Economic inequality and Economic growth, which I added today to those articles where, along with Economy of the United States, it was also reverted. I hope if the statement can achieve consensus that it might also be reasonable for the proposed Inequality section in Economics. Please see and comment at Talk:Economy of the United States#interesting references but did not say what was claimed, Talk:Economic growth#Effects of income inequality in the US, Talk:Economic inequality#Effects on growth in the US, or ideally all three if you can help.

Spam of Armenia-related content into general articles

In the last two weeks, a large number of accounts have cropped up that systematically add basic information about Armenia's economy into articles on general topics in economics, such as Monetary policy, Foreign direct investment and Trade agreement.

Project-independent quality assessments

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Moved from the project page to the talk page, content by User:Bbwilliams:

"I have added a paragraph covering I=PAT and Jevons paradox, into the article 'Eco-economic decoupling'. See relevant talk page for details.

I am also suggesting a more lenient approach to the Degrowth entry, to allow folks to more fully understand this paradigm shift in thinking and why it is urgently needed. Details are in this free Medium article, you will need to sign into medium to access it https://medium.com/@barbarawilliams1/wikipedia-degrowth-entry-43092da38044" EMsmile (talk) 07:56, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Eyes on new user’s edits

The editing behaviour of this user is worrying. Large amount of text, which is undue or unrelated to the subjects, is being copied to many different pages. Much cleanup maybe needed. --Dustfreeworld (talk) 03:55, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Help beefing up Gig economy

This was in article space for a month and a half before being redirected to Temporary work for a year and a half and gig worker for 4 years. Since the gig economy is composed of corporate entities, gig workers and customers, we need to distinguish this article from gig workers. This will appear on the main page in a couple of weeks or months in the WP:DYK section. Please help beef it up.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:40, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
