Editing Justifications edit
After having taught introductory economics this past semester, I became very attuned to the particular ideas and analysis in economics that cause confusion among students. When viewing the page on taxation, while I was pleased to see some well-labeled graphs included in the economics section, I saw several pieces of the text which either stated or implied inaccurate information. For example, there is no such thing as "elasticities of goods." Elasticities are properties of curves, particularly the supply and demand curve. I basically rewrote the section to clear up inconsistancies and inaccuracies. I edited this under my personal user name. My edits under the CyberGroup user name for the Effects of Taxes and Subsidies on Price page consisted of the same justifications and pretty much the same information. KGT
I've done a lot of research on the admissibility of expert testimony, and upon seeing the page on the Daubert Standard without a lot of history and with a mistake in its history, I felt compelled to update it. I then returned (though didn't sign in) to provide more information about the Daubert trilogy. There has been a great deal of debate about the Daubert Standard so it seemed appropriate to add more information to the history of this standard. -CW
I am not sure how many people are monitoring the two pages I changed, but I added the name of Vysotsky's first wife (he's one of the pillars of Russian music starting in the 1960s) and the French version of the opera Lucia di Lammermoor didn't have any information on it, so I added that to the page about the original Italian version. -AB
Karen T.'s edits: I edited the Siege of Beirut page, since I recently did some research on it for a professor. First, the casualties section. The previous post slightly underreported the Israeli casualties, and reported the Lebanese/Syrian casualties too generally. I think it's good to break down the total non-Israeli casualties into Civilian, PLO, Syrian, and distinguish those from the War in Lebanon in general from those from the actual Siege. I also added some detail to the section that discusses the end of the siege and some references.
I liked the idea of making a high school page and now Fair Lawn High School has one too. Will monitor if it gets any attention. -AB
How could there be a page about Wilbraham, Massachusetts that does not mention that Wilbraham is the home of Friendly's? Had to remedy that. - CW
