Talk:Pareto

The son of Pareto
i've done some previous reading for a university module, where i came across a book about pareto's son, this was a very old book which i can no longer get my hands on. The son of Pareto was also a sociologist and philosopher with a slightly darker take on the world. i was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction in regard to finding any biographical information or even just a run down of his ideas. 79.72.244.215 19:32, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Reporting the talk from “pareto principle”
80-20 rule ?? - For my part, I've ever heard of a "20-80 rule" so far.
 * May be this is not very important. But the starting point of organisation is to aim at better comfort and efficiency, isn'it ? So, admitted that the basical form is "x-y rule", the fact that Pareto allowes us to organize better refers to the y/x ratio, describing the increasing effect of a right distribution as "four times more than invested". And the corresponding  ratio is 20-80, not 80-20, that warns us not to forget that decreasing effect(s) do follow the phenomenon.  Is that correct ? 2rh (talk) 13:22, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Unless the correct form in english is "y-x rule" Is it ??? 2rh (talk) 13:24, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Pareto principle - For my part, i've heard that "Pareto's principle is "not to get a linear distribution", for a linea distribution is impossible to organize (source : ENISE 1974). As a consequence of it, Pareto's principle can't be reduced to on of its ratios, even if on of them is very popular. The second most popular ratio of a Pareto distribution beeing "50-95" (still admitted - question above - that the correct form of a ration in english is "x-y", not "y-x" 2rh (talk) 13:35, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Concluding
that “Pareto principle” and one of its ratios, whatever, should be separated nowadays.

Introducing
the apparently unedited observation that the french philoopher René Descartes has already introduced the further so called “Pareto principle” (please, learn more in french on my site [])

Considering
the editing rule according which unedited facts should not be reported on an encyclopedy

Suggesting
that a solution about “Pareto principle history” has to be found anyway, in the “Pareto guideline” with or without its new page on Wikipedia, and a possible link to my site; presently providing the expected information in french. What do you think ? 2rh (talk) 14:13, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * After a short request for help, and a glance on Gtstricky' talk page (Talk), I thik i've rather directly write my point now, and remain openminded to possible further observations. Thank you 2rh (talk) 14:47, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
