Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg

[edit]

Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Proposed merge

[edit]

The term 'stylized fact' is used for many major statistical regularities in economics. Kaldor's facts are a prominent early example, but they are far from the only ones. So it might be OK to merge 'Kaldor's facts' into the 'Stylized facts' page, but it is definitely wrong to merge 'Stylized facts' into the 'Kaldor's facts' page. Better yet, I would suggest keeping them separate. --Rinconsoleao (talk) 08:32, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

support the no merge view. Jackzhp (talk) 23:27, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. "Stylized facts" are an important general concept in economic methodology. Kaldor was the first one to coin the term, but one can find "stylized facts" in many areas of economics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.28.78.11 (talk) 16:35, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed – one article for the historical ones, one for the general concept.
I’ve split out the Kaldor details to the Kaldor page, and included some other examples in an “Examples” section, and cross-referenced the pages, which I believe addresses all concerns, so I’ve also removed the {merge} template.
