Thanks for finding the Morris source for Coffee, it looks excellent. I hope you don't mind, but I've moved it to External links for the moment, as it's not yet used as a reference. I've also taken the liberty of adding it as an EL to Cappuccino, where I think it will be very useful. -- RexxS ( talk) 12:35, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed this edit of yours. I'm not sure I understand your reasoning here. Do you know any sources making the connection? Paradoctor ( talk) 00:05, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
Yes, I saw the anon. message on the article talk page, and intended to respond, but simply forgot. Given the sources, and the fact that it comes straight from Gilliam's mouth, it should be restored. Thanks for your message. --- RepublicanJacobite The'FortyFive' 15:52, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi Nbarth, I saw you made that article. Are you sure it is coined by Keynes? That's written in the articles like Jean-Baptiste Say and Say's law, but when I see out of which area the first edits in that direction came ( example), I am sceptical.
Afaik this sentence came from James Mill (who basically "invented" Say's law). See for example here based on "Thomas Sowell: Say's Law: An Historical Analysis". It's also stated in the second source of the Say's law wiki article [1] as a quote from Mill. It seems to me that it was a falsification and just part of an big pov wave by some people like Austroglide to bring the message "Say, Mill and the Neoclassicals are right, it were just Keynes and so on who doesn't understand it". Perhaps you fell into the fraud? If I am right, the article can contine to exist of course, but it should have Mill and his interpretation of Says law indeed as origin (other articles need an correction) and Keynes who reactivated it. -- Larsenat ( talk) 17:32, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello there. Sorry to bother you, but you are (titularly at least) a member of WP:WikiProject Economics, as defined by this category. If you don't know me, I'm a Wikipedia administrator, but an unqualified economist. I enjoy writing about economics, but I'm not very good at it, which is why I would like to support in any way I can the strong body of economists here on Wikipedia. I'm only bothering you because you are probably one of them. Together, I'd like us to establish the future direction of WikiProject Economics, but first, we need to know who we've got to help.
Whatever your area of expertise or level of qualification, if you're interested in helping with the WikiProject (even if only as part of a larger commitment to this wonderful online encyclopedia of ours), would you mind adding your signature to this page? It only takes a second. Thank you.

On the Generalized permutation matrix page in Nov 2009 you added a reference to Coxeter Dn groups being related to the demihypercubes. Can you help me with references to where this is defined?
I am trying to correlate Dn with the Simple Lie group article that Dr corresponds to the special orthogonal group, SO(2r).
Hi, I just read the referenced paper by Arocha, Bracho & Montejano on the projective polyhedron article. They do not define a projective polyhedron as a tiling of the projective plane, but as something more general. Nor do I recall the term being used with this meaning by Hilbert & Cohn-Vossen (though I do not have a copy to hand). This worries me - how sure are you about your definition, and can you provide more credible references? If not, the article will have to be deleted or wholly rewritten, and there will be a lot of unpicking too do on other articles where you have recently introduced it. -- Cheers, Steelpillow ( Talk) 01:24, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
Hey Nils. I see you put quite some time into the talkpage of the proposed guideline in late February and early March this year. Are you happy to go forward with it if the "census" approach to getting like-minded people together works? - Jarry1250 Humorous? Discuss. 13:29, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi Nils,
Over a very short time you've made a large number of edits of questionable value and accuracy to many established mathematics articles. I've left a note at Talk:Triangle group, then checked your edit history and found mistakes, irrelevant or OR statements (and even sections) added to Triangle group, Dynkin diagram, Fundamental representation, Riemann–Hurwitz formula, Mathieu group, etc. I don't have time to look carefully at the polyhedral articles, and at the pace you are editing, I wonder if you have, either.
Other people have already pointed out similar problems to you. Please, slow down and review fundamental policies of Wikipedia: WP:OR, WP:Verifiability, WP:Undue weight (for example, you are adding a lot of inline references to the website of David Richter). Then, please, retrace your edit spree and address these issues. It will take a truly gargantuan effort on the part of qualified WPM members to verify your edits, and frankly, it may be more preferable to just blanket revert them if their quality cannot be assured. I am just giving you a heads-up, but I intend to follow up on this. Cheers, Arcfrk ( talk) 19:24, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Nbarth,
My name is Shirley Wang, I am a research assistant at the Federal Reserve. I came across the wiki page you edited regarding CDS standardizations and IMM dates. You mention that after 2002, CDS maturities roll on IMM dates. However, I am trying to figure out how CDS maturities were calculated previous to 2002. Was it the case that a 5-year CDS quoted on 5/17/2010 would mature on 5/17/2015 instead of 6/20/2015? If this is so, do you know exactly when this change occurred? Furthermore, do you know of any documentation regarding this change?
Thanks so much —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.200.32.34 ( talk) 15:01, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi Nils, thanks. I have one last question--where did you find the documentation that states CDS maturities were standardized in late 2002?
thanks again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.200.32.34 ( talk) 14:19, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 00:41, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi Nils, Are you interested in making the necessary corrections there? Tkuvho ( talk) 02:51, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
Fixed, in these edits!
I've noticed you've added some {{ main}} links to articles, but not in the way they are meant to be used. They are intended to link a summary section of an article to a main article, where an article or part of it consists of summaries of topics covered in full elsewhere, for example Six-dimensional space. Adding it at the top of an article as you have is simply confusing - in e.g. Charts on SO(3) it implies that if the reader really wants to learn about Charts on SO(3) they should consult Special orthogonal group, which is clearly wrong.
As the special orthogonal group is the first thing mentioned in the article there's no need to add another link. If there were a need - if it were a related topic but not mentioned in the article - then it should be added to the see also section. Or if the topics are so closely related that they really are the same thing they should maybe be merged. That section at the top of the article is for dab links, i.e. for links to articles with similar names in case the reader came to one article intending to find another, or to a DAB page when there are many articles with similar names. See e.g. WP:TMG for a summary of how and where the various links should be used.-- JohnBlackburne words deeds 16:17, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

I changed the redirect from logarithmic prior. It used to point to Jeffreys prior, but I find that connection insufficiently satisfactory. Yes, sometimes a comptued Jeffreys priors turns out to be the logarithmic prior, but there are many other ways to decide that a logarithmic prior will be a good prior probability for some situation. So I changed the redirect to be to prior probability. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Quantling ( talk • contribs) 19:37, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
