- Chiming in on what I hear earlier, about the learning curve being steep for non-programmers. Definitely agree.
- Wikipedia currently has an impressive level of detail in its articles but it could be better
- The problem, however, is that most academics (the people who could provide that detail) are old enough that this is just too difficult
- So rather than wait 20-30 years for academics who grew up with the internet, it'd make sense to invest in an idiot proof coding system —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mercurial454 (talk • contribs) 20:24, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Balanced Poverty Level
Balanced Poverty level . (Not Mollies follies)
Some activist's wants the poverty level to reflect anyone who cannot afford rent, and, food at the same time. I am a Maine activist who believes we must end 100% of poverty and that there are 80 additional million in poverty but not counted. Total 120 million people in poverty, or half of America.
Our current conception of the U.S. federal poverty level measure was introduced to the American public in 1965. IT was a landmark study by Mollie Orshanky, an economist at the Social Security Administration. We have lived lifetimes with Mollies follies since then The Poverty level was suppose to be a criterion for identifying households in poverty, It is based upon the amount required for an adequate diet at minimum cost.
Our current federal poverty level, is Mis-measure of Poverty.
By Nicholas Eberstadt http://www.hoover.org/publications/policyreview/3930481.html
Orshansky presented the poverty thresholds as a measure of income inadequacy, not of income adequacy -Isn't it time to end 100% of poverty? It is time that not just the amount of lowest cost food, but all of Lives basics are taking into account, as the poverty level.
So the poverty level is raised to cover all of the following rent, food, transportation, health care, Utilities ect. Workers are the back bone of America. They should have enough for savings and a vacation.
In fact, Mollies Follies, boss Ida’s Merriam, wrote in 1967, that "It is easy to observe that poverty in the U.S. today cannot meaningfully be defined in the same way as in the U.S. of 1900....obviously today's [poverty] measure, even if corrected year by year for changes in the price level...should not be acceptable twenty, ten or perhaps even five years hence." http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/papers/relabs.htm But we have used flawed measurements, since 1965. It decades past time, to say poverty can be ended when we use the correct tools which is a “balanced income,” enough to cover modest expensive, instead of a minimum wage. In Maine minimum wages are higher than the Federal level. It is $7.25 an hour, yet in 2007, a think tank in Maine, said the least required to pay all of lives basics are $17.16 an hour for 40 hours. Different states have different livable wages. Do you think any states livable wage is $9.50 an hour? Not with rents starting around $ 700 a month in Mississippi, there is no place with cheap rent. A “BALANCED” POVERTY LEVEL, WILL END 100% OF POVERTY www.hospitalityhouseofmaine.org
Rents now cost more than food costs. Tell Congress it is no longer OK to be homeless, on the current defective poverty level. < Mis-measure of Poverty.

Request for change of main page....
If you wanted to ask a question about an article, or you have a concern or comment, you can put a note in the article's talk page. You do that by clicking the "discussion" tab at the top of the page. Do not worry if the link shows up in red; it is all right to create the talk page if it does not already exist.
Should the ' "discussion" ' be ' "talk"'! as this is the tab I see?
