Talk:Information cascade

message: The numbers in the example do not have an obvious reason; why are people right 2/3 of the time? why will everyone get eaten at least 1 out of 10 times?
: Yeah, that's the nature of examples. You take any numbers you like and demonstrate your point using those. In my opinion, the factidate template can savely be removed. Drahflow 19:07, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

This article is quite turstworthy, quite biased, a little complete, a little well-written,and somewhat accurate. I have two comments on this article. First, I'm a bit confused by the hybrid seed corn example, as this is one of the prototypical examples of Innovation diffusion. Perhaps this should be listed in the "See also section". Second, the term information cascade has been applied recently in other settings. Perhaps a noting of this might improve the clarity of the article.

thread_title: Before nominating again...

message: user:LauraHale deleted a large fraction of new material added to this article without justification.  I have not gone over every detail of her reverts, but I can see that she threw out some good material, making the material that remained incomprehensible. The "Qualitative Example" section is a case in point. The previous version had a illustration of an information cascade taken from a peer-reviewed and highly cited article on the topic; the original article is referenced.  The illustration should help a general reader understand what an information cascade is and how its existence is demonstrated in experimental, economics research.  However user:LauraHale eviscerated this section, leaving only a single sentence that doesn't make sense in isolation.  Her only comments was to cite WP:TNT.
I would revert user:LauraHale's reverts, but I'm not sure what this would do to the contributions editors made afterwards.  So I've done nothing and hope more experienced Wikipedians will know what to do. Robertekraut (talk) 00:02, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I too wish I understood why it was thrown out, not re-edited - did she have a fundamental problem with the material or simply kill it because it was poorly written? Maybe it's a good thing it looked awkward, otherwise I wouldn't have checked the revision history. I'm glad she didn't toss the citation completely, too - that might be a sign that she wanted another user to take a crack at paraphrasing the experiment. It could use a rewrite, but I haven't read the cited article. I might try to get my hands on it.(Elustran (talk) 06:19, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
