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").

- 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)
- 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)
- 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. Huckelberry 16:34, 13 February 2011 (CST)
Acting Man - please test new lesson format
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)
Right place of a link
"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)"
- I moved it down to the links section. Huckelberry 16:32, 14 February 2011 (CST)
- Why? When I would have more lessons, do you would move them all to the links section? The link section is for further information. The task is to prove if the format would be an improvement or a useful choice of the study guide format. --84.60.253.91 16:58, 14 February 2011 (CST)
- I am not sure where the best place for them would be honestly. They seem to fall under the category of "further information." Specifically since they are lessons associated with the text--the page being specifically for the text. Yet, the link would work on the page for Action in addition to this one. I personally think the best place for the links is further information--however I'm still new to this and the older members might have a better idea. -- Huckelberry 18:10, 14 February 2011 (CST)
- The link contains just Human Action - Acting Man. It makes no sense to move it elsewhere because you are losing the direct connection. The link section is suited for resources about HA at all. In Action, I would place it just at #Links because it would be further info about action at all. --84.60.253.91 18:48, 14 February 2011 (CST)
- Links to outside sites are at the bottom. I understand why you want it after Action, yet it doesn't seem right in a wiki. I'm sorry. --Huckelberry 23:32, 16 February 2011 (CST)
- Are you enforcing the Wikipedia Guidelines? Links can have another meaning here. Mises Resources are quasi InterMisesLinks instead of InterWikiLinks. Please, read what is said about the MisesWiki and don't disturb other users when they are only doing their job:
- Mises Wiki is still in its developmental stages, and as such, it does not have firm rules. Its parent, the Mises Institute, remains its guiding force. Its Editorial Vice-President has said, "We don't want an encyclopedia only and we don't want just opinion pieces. We want [Mises Wiki] to be a guide to learning and studying; an archive of important and useful information; a documented assembly of important facts and figures and narratives; a valuable resource for discovery what is going on and what people think; most importantly, we don't want the scope limited." There is also hope that this wiki can eventually come to replace major sections of Mises.org itself. --84.60.220.190 12:50, 17 February 2011 (CST)
