[edit] Pyramid Schemes?

Could this article be used in reference to Pyramid schemes? It seems like a similar concept (you buy into the pyramid schemes with hopes of finding a "bigger fool" to give you money.

Really, it would depend whether a reputable source has made that connection. It isn't for Wikipedia's editors to create connections. Notinasnaid 10:17, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg

Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

PICKY PICKY PICKY - an image of a Russian coin is not copyrightable. Please do not turn Wikipedia into a maze of useless rules and self-appointed cops. 208.238.205.35 (talk) 08:54, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] It isn't just Economics

Ya' know, this also applies to many a strategy game. Often, all you can do is assume that it will take your opponent more effort undo your work than what you put in. Heck, this is the whole theory behind using turrets- It will take more work for your enemy to get past them than for you to put them up.
Anyway, I'm just saying that it doesn't just apply to Economics. Someone really should add something saying that (even quote me- I don't care), but I'm a bit too apathetic to do it... --A person without an account (sometimes called Driaquer) 1312 PST, July 13th, 2007
