[edit] Auckland meetup

Just to let you know that a meetup is planned in Auckland for the 25th of June (see Wikipedia:Meetup/Auckland for more details), and that you are cordially invited. GeorgeStepanek\^talk 00:21, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Already seen the link, and as much as I'd LOVE to go, I cannot because well ARTA sucks and don't want to fund public transport on Sundays out my way, ditto for the Western Line trains. Thanks for the reminder anyway. --NigelJ ^talk 02:40, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Journal of Political Economy

Okay, no problem about the Journal of Political Economy. This was a scholarly periodical than ran for many years as was basically the mouthpiece of the Chicago school of free-market, monetarist thought. It was discontinued shortly after Milton Friedman retired. One reference I can supply to it occurs in Mark Skousen's "The Power of Economic Thinking." There is also a more recent reference in James Surowiecki's more recent "The Wisdom of Crowds." I do not know the page numbers.

Gnossie 10:39, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay. Done. Turns out the journal was not defunct after all! 12:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again for the welcome. Maybe you could help me with something. What do the numbers next to my edits mean? For, example, when on my watchlist I see the "Journal of Political Economy," there is now a "Journal of Political Economy‎; 15:33 . . (+281)" What does the +281 mean? Thanks. Gnossie 04:44, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay. Thanks again. Gnossie 05:04, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CSD

The line "The company is one of only a few search firms in the U.S. focused exclusively on management buy-in transactions" sort of asserts asserts notability for me. Realistically I don't remove CSD tags because I disagree- I remove them if I think it's likely that someone else will disagree. --Wafulz 14:30, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IRC cloak request

I am G on freenode and I would like the cloak wikipedia/G. Thanks. --NigelJ ^talk 07:11, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sankt Georgen (Freiburg)

Thanks for putting a decent stub tag on the article! I don't think it is db-context, and I will be expanding the article soon. Poeloq 12:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

No problem, anything I'm not 100% sure on I don't do, I'm glad you appreciate the work done in stub sorting, I'm assuming I got the sorting correct? --NigelJ ^talk 12:54, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, sorting is correct! Poeloq 14:48, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Justin Berry

Hey Nigel, I just wanted to let you know that I removed this tag [1] because Justin Berry was not the "creator of or main contributor" and User:KurtBerry is an obvious troll who is now blocked. Cheers, Sarah 13:04, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Okay thanks, I wasn't too sure, but I think a COI may potentially still exist, however I'm not too familar with the subject. --NigelJ ^{talk SIMPLE} 00:56, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

No worries, I agree there is still a potential conflict of interest with Justin, but I don't think it warrants the template on the article at this stage. There's a couple of admins involved with the article now and hopefully we'll be able to keep it from being slanted. Cheers, Sarah 01:51, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the help(Gnevin 12:46, 26 April 2007 (UTC))
