Talk:Frank Fetter

message: I have failed the article according to the GA criteria. The article is well-written and has sufficient sources but is missing a few things. First, see if you can add an infobox (look to other economists for examples or WP:Bio). The main reason that I have failed this article is that it is not broad enough. According the criteria, it is not necessary for it to be as comprehensive as the requirements for FA, but at this point, the article appears to be a start or B class at most. I'd recommend elaborating on the other sections, or the success/importance of the books he wrote. Did he develop any significant or notable theories that should be mentioned? There is also no mention of his death. Again, look to other articles for examples of what else to include. Keep expanding the article and then look over the GA criteria before nominating again. Consider getting a peer review to get more assistance in improving the article. --Nehrams2020 20:05, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the advice. I have added an infobox, a section noting some of Fetter's theoretical contributions, a few more accolades, and a smattering of additional sources. I have not been able to find any source whatsoever for the details of Fetter's death, something that I suspect has to do with the ripe old age at which he died.

thread_title: GA failed

message: Nice article! As part of the GA review, my suggestions are:
* Expand the lead—which is meant to stand on its own as an introduction (WP:LEAD)—to two paragraphs. 
* I found the jump to a quotation here confusing: "Fetter was a staunch opponent of Franklin D. Roosevelt's plan to end the gold standard and, [quote] In January 1933, a letter was sent to the president-elect,..." Transition to quote as you do the others, by providing context. –Outriggr § 00:16, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The lead still needs to be expanded. --Nehrams2020 22:37, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Several months later, the lead has still not been expanded. Please add more information that better summarizes the rest of the article, and for an article this length, a single paragraph should suffice. The rest of the article looks okay, and I don't think that the intro would be reason enough to delist it. --Nehrams2020 23:05, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  GA passed 

message: The quote in the "Land as capital" section taken from Land as a factor of production - Chapter 2 references The Principles of Economics 189-190. However, I tracked down a copy of the original text, and I cannot find the quote anywhere. Can anyone else verify this? --Explodicle (talk) 18:27, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Man, what a great catch! Since the source that excerpted the original source referred to it being an "article," (rather than a monograph, such as the footnote indicated) I checked Capital, Interest & Rent, and there it was. Here's the correct cite, which is now in the article: Fetter, Frank. Capital, Interest, and Rent. Murray N. Rothbard, Ed. Kansas City: Sheed, Andrews, and McMeel, Inc. 1977. Part 2, Essay 2, para. 13.  DickClarkMises (talk) 19:03, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
