Talk:Auction theory

message: I'm looking for organizational opinion. This article is "Auction theory". Let's assume it gets fleshed out with the theory. Then, there's still a lot of supporting and contrary evidence--mostly from experiments, and also from observation of RL auctions. So, do those empirical results belong in a theory article? I think they do until/unless the article gets too big. Other thoughts?Cretog8 (talk) 17:02, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Help question was: "Original link was replaced (not supplemented) by a link to a very old archive copy (not the latest); shouldn't the article have the original link plus the latest archive?". Yes, it should've been supplemented instead of replaced. Most of the Cite templates have a function for that (archiveurl and deadurl), but apparently the bot doesn't know what to do with plain links like that. I've put the original link back, and added a (newer) archive link after it. Rchard2scout (talk) 16:28, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This article's grade should be changed from "start" to "C". The article is relatively substantial in content with numerous major sources cited. This includes foundational early works into auction theory such as Vickrey's 1961 paper, as well as critical modern contributions from Milgrom and Weber, Riley and Samuelson, and Wilson. This makes a "start" grade inappropriate, as the article is no longer "quite incomplete" in content. However, any grade above "C" is also inappropriate as the article still requires considerable improvements and clean-up. For example, multi-unit auctions are not sufficiently discussed. With two pivotal events occurring in the 1990's (Salomon Brothers scandal in 1991 and the advent of the Federal Communications Comission spectrum auctions in 1994), multi-unit auctions has come to the foreground in auction theory over single-item auctions. There's no mention of pay-as-bid auctions nor any of the recent key works from Holmberg (2008) and Restek, Weretka and Pycia (2009). Consequently, this article should be assessed at a "C" grade.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Colin.yu1997 (talk • contribs) 02:44, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Assessment of Article 

message: So I was reading this article and I noticed a grammatical error. No big deal, I fixed it. But then I noticed more errors, and realized that the whole section was full of stuff like that. So, naturally, I cleaned it up as best I could. But THEN I noticed stuff like that across the ENTIRE article. I fixed some of it but it still needs MASSIVE copy editing. ANYONE who can help, please do! I'll be working to fix as many problems as I can but I can't do it all right now, so I'd appreciate any help here. TypoEater (talk) 14:36, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
