Hi Ellieswan! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your participation. I encourage you to continue to contribute.
Some of the material that you added to Causes of the Great Depression is very informative; however, it is outside the scope of the article (See Wikipedia:Relevance of content. The scope of Causes of the Great Depression is purely historical, and does not include applying the lessons of the depression to our present situation (even though it is always important that we apply the lessons of history to the present). I am merely saying some of the material you added is within the scope of a different Wikipedia article. I would recommend that you create a new section to the article 2007-2012 global economic crisis and move some of your material in Causes of the Great Depression to 2007-2012 global economic crisis. Or you could create a new section to the article Debt deflation.
If you believe that we should expand the scope of Causes of the Great Depression, then you will need to make that proposal on the talk page of that article. If we do, we would need to also apply other theories to the present economic crisis (see WP:DUE). That, in turn, may necessitate spinning off a new article.
I try to help new contributors, so let me know if you need any help or have any questions. (I will have more time in January). Again, thank you for your participation.Dulcimer music 04:50, 6 December 2012 (UTC)JDefauw — Preceding unsigned comment added by JDefauw ( talk • contribs)
Thank you for the assistance. Right now I am trying to figure out how to delete debt-reset theory - or if that is my responsibility - now that I think it might violate Wiki "notability" criteria. Any assistance in that regard would be great - SDee 2012
SDee 2012, some of what you were doing looked moderately constructive, but blanking sections of the page and eventually the entire page without explanation did not look constructive, therefore I reverted it. If you need to blank something, explain it in your edit summary or on the talk page. Let me know at my talk page should you have any questions. Thanks. Go Phightins ! 18:05, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi - I am worried that the material doesn't match noteworthy criteria. I am a new wiki editor. I put it on a blog and then tried to delete it because I didn't want to violate wiki standards or seem disingenuous. - SDee 2012
