Green (2002)
I had a scan through your 2002 paper, very interesting. I forwarded it to a grad student I have doing experimental economics work. I'm sure she'll find it useful and interesting, I hadn't thought of having subjects role play I'll have to give that a go next term. Pete.Hurd 04:33, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Self-promotion on WP
Hi Kesten, I don't speak for Kzollman, but personally, I tend to revert apparent Conflict_of_interest with a much lower threshold than I'd otherwise apply. There's certainly no rule against No original research, but it does kind of run against the spirit of some guidelines. It might explain why this link to your website was reverted from the Conflict article. I'm not saying that you should make all links to your websites anonymously e.g.?, but editors whose contribution history is largely adding links to software downloads from their own websites e.g. do seem to rile some of the "recent change patrollers". Anyway, you added a bunch of website promotional material to the lead section of the Forecasting article. It's a really poor article, it would be really great if you could add some encyclopedic material to improve it, or maybe encourage some of your students towards to give it a fixing.

Edit war
Kesten - Please cease your edit war on game theory. On wikipedia we do not continually restore our preferred version of a page if there are objections by others. Pages are developed by achieving consensus among all interested editors. Please discuss the matter on the discussion page, Talk:Game theory. --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 21:15, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Kesten. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Kesten~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:07, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
