What tool do you use for finance & econ graphs
I stumbled across your graph gallery. They're beautiful! What software do you use to create them? I use Adobe Illustrator to make things pretty but imprecise. I use gnuplot to make things precise but ugly. You seem to have found the happy medium. Feco (talk) 20:59, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Image:Supply-demand-right-shift-demand.svg edit to include surplus and shortage
A great sigh of relief that you are still around on Wikipedia, SilverStar. Concerning the above immensely useful image, s Talk:Economics) discussion at the bottom suggested the need for a way of labelling an example of a surplus and shortage from the demand and supply curves. As you know, in textbooks, these are usually represented as a horizontal distance between the demand and supply curves, for example in http://michaelsclassnotes.blogspot.com/2008/02/supply-and-demand-surplus-shortage.html

Would you consider making an image like the above to include surplus and shortage information? In particular:

1. A horizontal square-bracket "pointed up" (possibly with a '|' doing the pointing) & located above D1-S intersection with 'Surplus' immediately above the (possible '|') bracket point, kind of like this:
 * ____|_____

but without the gaps and dots.

2. A similar horizontal square-bracket pointed down & located below D1-S intersection with 'Shortage' immediately below the bracket point,

3. Possible relabelling as "Image:Supply-demand-right-shift-demand-surplus-shortage.svg"

If (1) & (2) are non-equidistant from intersection of D1 & S intersection, this would have the advamtage of (correctly) suggesting that (1) & (2) are merely examples of surpluses & shortages, rather than somehow functionally related to each other. The intended use for the figure would be at Economics. Other articles might or might not find that modified figure useful. The advantage would be in tying discussion of surplus and shortage in the text to one figure. If you can help or have any suggestions or questions, I'd welcome them. Thank you for your consideration. --Thomasmeeks (talk) 15:14, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

the monopoly / deadweight loss graph
Dear SilverStar,

I came across your graph illustrating the deadweight loss in a monopoly market situation.

This graph is actually incorrect, the MC-curve should cut the Q-axis exactly in the middle between the origin and the point where the demand curve cuts the Q-axis.

This is due to the fact that D is linear:

deriving the turnover (p.Q) to Q results in the MC curve:

D = a + b.Q

Q.D(Q) = a.Q+ b.Q²

MC = a + 2b.Q

This is far fetched, but for many economy students (like me), these are crucial elements. I see you can make these graph look very good and clear, which I can't. If you find some time, please fix it!!

Monopoly picture
Hello--I tweaked Image:Monopoly-surpluses.svg to fix the slope of MR (for linear stuff like this, MR's slope is twice that of demand). Nice graphics you've done! C RETOG 8(t/c) 05:54, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers
Hi ,

In order to better control the quality  of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
