Robinson Crusoe Economy[edit]

Featured article candidates/Robinson Crusoe Economy/archive1

I am nominating this for featured article because... this is my way of making a contribution to Wikipedia's best articles. The Robinson Crusoe economy is the most simple framework to study trade, production, consumption etc. It forms the basis of studying advanced economics. Although this is an economics article, the reference to Robinson Crusoe's travails as an adventurer constantly help build the theory. Abhilasha369 (talk) 01:52, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, suggest withdrawal - this article is certainly informative, but it does not meet the FA criteria. It appears to be written more as a university lecture than as an encyclopedic article, and as a result the tone is inappropriate. It does not adhere to our manual of style, uses a questionable source (SparkNotes), and does not include specific page numbers for the reliable sources that it does use. In short, while it is "valuable" it would require extensive reworking to become an FA. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:05, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - I agree with Nikkimaria, much more work is needed on this contribution; the nomination is premature.Graham Colm (talk) 11:38, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
