Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need any questions answered about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or drop me a line. BTW, great work on your contribs to the Supply and demand article. Cheers! --maveric149
- Thanks.
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. sorry to start off on the wrong foot, but I notice you're adding articles which are poorly named. While I'm glad to see you adding to the project, typically we try to name articles in a way that's concise and would fit in a standard sentence. That is, Surplus,Supply and demand wouldn't, because it has an unnecessary capital and is missing a space between "surplus," and "supply". I'm not sure what suggestions others might make, since I'm not at all knowledgeable about economic issues. But in the meantime could you see wikipedia:Naming conventions before you continue? Thanks, Koyaanis Qatsi
- Fixed.
See list of economics topics for a good list of good article titles in this field. Also see Talk:Economics where there are now links to a lot of names of articles, of which about half have been written, and all of which *need* to be. - 142

- Minor request. Can you please fill in the summary field more often, especially when it is not a minor edit. Thanks (makes it easier for me to remember if I have looked a a particular edit before).
I'll try to remember. I tend to get sloppy late at night. On a completely unrelated topic, what do you think about the article two part tariff? I have never heard the term used to describe segmentation strategies or price discrimination strategies. This looks like a candidate for VFD. What do you think? mydogategodshat 06:00, 29 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- My understanding of a two part tariff is when you have 2 components to the price of a product or service. For example an initial price plus a monthly subscriber fee. User:mydogategodshat 06:57, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- It is a form a second-degree price discrimination since essentially it is a quantity discount. I have cleaned up the article and added an example (I also removed the coupon and mail in rebates from the list of methods of imlementing since they sort of are, but they are also a third degree method of price discriminating as well (consumers with more time than money) so it is confusing) so take a look at it now that it is fixed.

- Excellent work on two part tariff. That was quite a transformation, from one of the worst economics artcles to one of the better ones. I only have one specific comment. The Porter link needs some explanation. It is not clear what the two part tariff has to do with either Porter generic strategies or Porter 5 forces analysis. mydogategodshat 07:57, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- I am not sure what the porter competative model is so I can't answer that one. Membership discount retailers definatly can be considered a two part tariff. If you know and it doesn't make sense, then go ahead and remove the link. Jrincayc 14:29, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- I think I will remove the link because the connection is weak and certainly not clear without much more elaboration. mydogategodshat Moved rest of discussion to Talk:Giffen goods
