Financial repression

Thanks for trying to improve and de-orphan Financial repression. I am afraid that quite a lot of it will need to be removed as it is copied verbatim from other sources. We can't really have an article where more than half of it is a quote. That leads to copyright problems. I am going to remove that and try to tidy it up however this not going to be easy. You have replaced one description of the subject with, what seems to me to be, a completely contradictory one. I am inclined to give your one rather more weight as the old one was entirely unsourced but I am not sure if there is anything in the old one to keep.

Anyway here are a couple of pointers for the future:

• Wiping out existing coverage and rewriting it as something completely different is not something to do lightly. It would be best to get a consensus on whether this is the right thing to do first.
• When de-orphaning articles it is best to link the subject from articles that actually refer to it in their body text. Adding it to a lot of "See also" sections is not an ideal approach, particularly if it is not completely obvious if they are relevant topics.

Hi Daniel,

I'm pretty new to Wikipedia and wasn't sure about what the policy was on something like a definition of a term like financial repression.

I actually have my own working definition of financial repression, which I'll substitute for Carmen's and Belen's.

And yes, the previous definition has nothing to do with financial repression as it has been defined by Shaw and McKinnon, etc. onwards.

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.
