Speedy deletion of Template:Claim[edit]
A tag has been placed on Template:Claim requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 00:27, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

What tool do you use for finance & econ graphs[edit]
I stumbled across your graph gallery. They're beautiful! What software do you use to create them? I use Adobe Illustrator to make things pretty but imprecise. I use gnuplot to make things precise but ugly. You seem to have found the happy medium. Feco (talk) 20:59, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Image:Supply-demand-right-shift-demand.svg edit to include surplus and shortage[edit]
A great sigh of relief that you are still around on Wikipedia, SilverStar. Concerning the above immensely useful image, s Talk:Economics#The model of supply and demand) discussion at the bottom suggested the need for a way of labelling an example of a surplus and shortage from the demand and supply curves. As you know, in textbooks, these are usually represented as a horizontal distance between the demand and supply curves, for example in http://michaelsclassnotes.blogspot.com/2008/02/supply-and-demand-surplus-shortage.html
Would you consider making an image like the above to include surplus and shortage information? In particular:
1. A horizontal square-bracket "pointed up" (possibly with a '|' doing the pointing) & located above D1-S intersection with 'Surplus' immediately above the (possible '|') bracket point, kind of like this:
- ____|_____
- |...............|
but without the gaps and dots.
2. A similar horizontal square-bracket pointed down & located below D1-S intersection with 'Shortage' immediately below the bracket point,
3. Possible relabelling as "Image:Supply-demand-right-shift-demand-surplus-shortage.svg"
If (1) & (2) are non-equidistant from intersection of D1 & S intersection, this would have the advamtage of (correctly) suggesting that (1) & (2) are merely examples of surpluses & shortages, rather than somehow functionally related to each other. The intended use for the figure would be at Economics#The model of supply and demand. Other articles might or might not find that modified figure useful. The advantage would be in tying discussion of surplus and shortage in the text to one figure. If you can help or have any suggestions or questions, I'd welcome them. Thank you for your consideration. --Thomasmeeks (talk) 15:14, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

the monopoly / deadweight loss graph[edit]
Dear SilverStar,
I came across your graph illustrating the deadweight loss in a monopoly market situation.
This graph is actually incorrect, the MC-curve should cut the Q-axis exactly in the middle between the origin and the point where the demand curve cuts the Q-axis.
This is due to the fact that D is linear:
deriving the turnover (p.Q) to Q results in the MC curve:
D = a + b.Q
Q.D(Q) = a.Q+ b.Q²
MC = a + 2b.Q
This is far fetched, but for many economy students (like me), these are crucial elements. I see you can make these graph look very good and clear, which I can't. If you find some time, please fix it!!

WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum[edit]
Hi SilverStar,
I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".
Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.
- Each casebook will have a subpage.
- Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
- It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
- Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.
- I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.
What you can do now:
- 1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.
- 2. If you're a law student,
- Email http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
- Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.
- (You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)
- 3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.
Regards, Andrew Gradman talk/WP:Hornbook 06:21, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

New deal for page patrollers[edit]
Hi SilverStar,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
