Hi, Leigh. Please do not include links to your own websites in Wikipedia. It is considered spamming. Any links added should be entered from a neutral standpoint, and these two are obviously related to you as a person. If you have any problems with this, or further questions or comments, please post to the talk page for the article. Merely re-adding the links without discussion may be treated as straightforward spamming or even vandalism. Thanks. Ref ^(chew)(do) 21:49, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ACE

Sorry about all that. The article's looking good at the moment. Can I just remind you to put four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each post to any talk page? That signs and dates the message for you. Thanks. Ref ^(chew)(do) 05:45, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I assume you're Leigh Tesfatsion. I got a lot out of your paper on stochastic dominance, a long time ago now. Welcome to Wikipedia. You might want to think about joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Economics. On categories, there's a hierarchical structure. If an article is included in say Category:Macroeconomics it should not also be in a higher level category like Category:Economics. As you say, there's a bit of a learning curve here, but persevere and it will be very rewarding to be part of this.JQ 21:44, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the encouraging words. There is much more to Wikipedia than I ever imagined, a bottom-up cultural phenomenon. And yes, I will own up to having written the long-ago stochastic dominance paper (one of my grad RA assignments at the U of Minnesota)! Tesfatsion 02:20, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DSGE and ACE

Hi-- I know you are very interested in ACE. You might want to check my edits to Model (macroeconomics), especially where I have made some comments on strengths and weaknesses of DSGE and ACE models. --Rinconsoleao 15:09, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
