:I think the code for narrowing the table of contents put it in the middle of the page instead of making it narrower. So I fixed that but I want to narrow it as well (if anyone knows the right code let us know!). The table of contents is a problem.. and it will only be getting longer I suspect. The page might need a different format in the long run.

I have added a [http://www.apriorist.de/modx/hauyf/ lesson] which is new formated based on mises.org resources. You may discuss, if it could be useful or not. --[[Special:Contributions/84.60.253.91|84.60.253.91]] 13:36, 14 February 2011 (CST) | |||

Goal of the page
What is the goal of the stub? --Reserved 07:48, 29 December 2010 (CST)
- Do you mean
{{stub}}? It is used to mark short articles or articles without much prose. All pages that have{{stub}}on them are added to a category, Category:Article stubs, so they can be found easily. --Forgottenman (talk) 07:55, 29 December 2010 (CST)- No, I want to ask for the goal of that site at all. I cannot identify the further aim of the stub. The mises.org page contains already the content. --Reserved 08:16, 29 December 2010 (CST)
- There are many opportunities. Yes, the full text is available elsewhere, but summaries of key arguments might make it more accessible to students (see William Smith's speech of February 25, 1830, for example—it's much easier to read that article than the original 50-page speech). Doing this would also allow us to compare and contrast Mises's views with those of Menger, Rothbard, Hoppe, and other Austrians, specifically referencing those different views. Besides this, obviously, we could include publication history and other information about the work itself. --Forgottenman (talk) 08:25, 29 December 2010 (CST)
- Should mises.org content become rewritten in wiki format? What is about redundancy? --Reserved 09:04, 29 December 2010 (CST)
- Its not redundant because its a wiki--you can click through topics at will. You can not do that in the *.pdf of Human action or the online version (you can click through Mises footnotes but not through worlds like "capital" or "evenly rotating economy").

- I plan to work more on this page: should I go though by chapter (as I began to do) and cut it down later? Any suggestions? Its a lot of material and, frankly, I am new at this. Huckelberry 14:22, 6 February 2011 (CST)
New format
Am liking the new format so far. :) Will keep watching. Also tried narrowing the table of contents, as the long titles make it a little unwieldy. Adjustments welcome. -- RayBirks 15:18, 13 February 2011 (CST)

Acting Man
I have added a lesson which is new formated based on mises.org resources. You may discuss, if it could be useful or not. --84.60.253.91 13:36, 14 February 2011 (CST)
