| ==Economics articles==
| | RIP Nick Gardner. You were one of most prolific editors on CZ. Many of your wonderful articles were featured. ([[User:Chunbum Park|Chunbum Park]] 20:05, 1 July 2013 (UTC)) |
| Thanks for your contributions to economics articles: they are a massive improvement! I hope we can bring on board some more economists [retired or otherwise] to help with the CZ effort. The wikipedia approach to economics is a far cry from what I would consider clear and erudite thinking on these issues, and I would like to avoid repeating that on CZ. --[[User:Martin Baldwin-Edwards|Martin Baldwin-Edwards]] 16:44, 17 September 2007 (CDT)

|
| : Thank you for your words of encouragement. I am intrigued with the possibility of conveying the basic ideas of economics in simple verbal logic without the aid of equations and diagrams. I may try that approach on the main economics article.
| | My condolences to Nick's family. He was a great contributor to this project and he leaves behind much wonderful work. [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] 21:13, 1 July 2013 (UTC) Addendum: I would like to link to Nick's [http://forum.citizendium.org/index.php/topic,4390.msg46149.html#msg46149 final forum post], which contains good advice for us all. [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] 12:03, 2 July 2013 (UTC) |
| : I need some advice, however. I should like to see much of what is written in that article transferred to an article on the history of economics thought. I suspect that to be beyond the power of an author? If so, how could it be arranged? [[User:Nick Gardner|Nick Gardner]] 02:55, 18 September 2007 (CDT) | |

|
| :: I don't see why it is beyond the power of an author, as long as there is no opposition. I am not opposed, and the main author of these economics articles left CZ. Put the proposal on the Talk page, so that it is all transparent, and people can object if they want [they won't!]. Wait a few days, then go ahead. Message me when you have done it, so I can check it out. Seems ok in principle, to me. Bear in mind that other people may come along later and modify things, but this is true for all articles on CZ. We control such changes with editorial oversight. --[[User:Martin Baldwin-Edwards|Martin Baldwin-Edwards]] 17:03, 18 September 2007 (CDT)

| ::: Will do. Nick | | Nick was truly a scholar and a gentle man. He worked diligently to create a coherent series of articles on basic economics, all of which were of high quality. He contributed to more than 80 articles. When he died, Nick was working on a second edition of his book called "Mistakes". His son John will continue to edit the book for readability and work to get it published. We wish him luck, and condolences for his loss.

| Do you feel shy about coming to the [[CZ:Monthly Write-a-Thon|Party]]? Or did you not know about it? Not sure? What the devil is this person talking about?? Click on the link, come on in and edit an article. Or start a stub. Or ask a question. Eat something at [[bar|Hayford's Bar and Grill]]. Or just drink some [[vodka]] or [[navy grog|grog]]. Or [[beer]]. What the hey! [[User:Aleta Curry|Aleta Curry]] 16:11, 7 November 2007 (CST)
| | Sad news, I'm glad I got to read Nick's work here, especially during the crash of 2008. I have not head of his book "Mistakes" so I'm intrigued to read the new edition after John has finished. [[User:Chris Day|Chris Day]] 02:13, 4 July 2013 (UTC) |

| == Approval of some economics articles==
| |
| Nick, I think we should go for approval of some of the developed articles: the process may bring in some more comments, but otherwise we will just go ahead with your texts. I will make some minor edits first, and any comments that occur to me in the process of looking more carefully. Can you suggest which articles you would like nominated? I think Microeconomics and History of Economic Thought are looking good. Possibly Economics and Macro... Tell me whzt you think, and let's try to get these done! Best wishes, --[[User:Martin Baldwin-Edwards|Martin Baldwin-Edwards]] 06:05, 11 November 2007 (CST)

| == Subpages ==
| |
| | |
| Nick- make sure that the talk page has the <code><nowiki>{{subpages}}</nowiki></code> placed at the top <code>;)</code>. Also, when you fill out the metadata page, make sure to also include the name of the page in both the "Page name" and "abc" fields. --[[User:Robert W King|Robert W King]] 10:46, 4 February 2008 (CST)
| |
| :Also, another tip: The definition template is used as follows: [[Template:Def_nameofthinghere]], for example see: [[Template:Def_Ice_hockey]]. --[[User:Robert W King|Robert W King]] 09:12, 6 February 2008 (CST)

| ==Careful!==
| |
| | |
| Please be careful typing in page-names. You created [["Bank for International Settlements]] (note extra "), <s>but we already had [[Bank for International Settlements]]</s>. You should move any useful content to the second, and we will delete the (erroneous) first one. [[User:J. Noel Chiappa|J. Noel Chiappa]] 16:52, 7 April 2008 (CDT)
| |
| | |
| Ah, I see, you just created [[Bank for International Settlements]] - I went to move the former one to the right place, and the move failed, and so I assumed it was a pre-existing page which you didn't see because of the ". If you ever need to move a page to a different name for any reason in the future, can you please use the "Move" tab (at the top)? Please never use cut-and-paste to move a page, as we need to keep the page history intact for copyright reasons. (In this case there's no harm, because you're the only author.) Thanks! [[User:J.

| == Hey sorry I can't give better feedback on economic articles ==
| |
| | |
| Hey Nick,
| |
| I saw your forum post and glanced through a couple of your articles. I wish I knew more about economics and could contribute. I would suggest linking all of the articles in the forum post so people can click on them and give feedback. [[User:Tom Kelly|Tom Kelly]] 15:55, 11 May 2008 (CDT)

| == Revisions to user page ==
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| Hi Nick, thanks for your [[User talk:Paul Schächterle/Notebook/LDR|comment]]! I have replied there. I am new to Citizendium. Can you tell me whether it is better to reply on the author's page or to reply where the comment has been made? Greetings! --[[User:Paul Schächterle|Paul Schächterle]] 13:14, 15 May 2008 (CDT)

| I'm no expert on CZ protocol either. I suggest you ask an editor. [[User:Nick Gardner|Nick Gardner]] 16:18, 15 May 2008 (CDT)

| ==Sabbatical==
| |
| I do not wish to cause offence by not replying to messages, so I should explain that I have embarked upon an indefinite sabbatical from CZ, and for that reason I shall not be responding to messages posted here, except on matters directly concerned with articles that have been put forward for approval.
