GA concerns

[edit]

After reviewing this article, I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:

  • At over 12,000 words, WP:TOOBIG recommends that the article should probably be split. I agree with this, and I think some information should be moved to other articles or removed.
  • There is a lot of uncited prose.
  • The article relies upon many block quotes, and I think some of them can be removed or summarised.
  • Unreliable sources like Investopedia and mises.org are used as inline citations, and should be reevaluated.
  • "Cultural representations" is full of one-sentence paragraphs which should be merged.

Is anyone interested in fixing up this article, or should it go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 17:37, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think the whole cultural representations section could be removed. Its pretty trivial if you ask me. Bonewah (talk) 18:12, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article, at 12000 words, is considered WP:TOOBIG. There is a lot of uncited prose, and an overreliance on block quotes. Unreliable sources are used as intext citations and the "Cultural representations" section is full of one-sentence paragraphs. Z1720 (talk) 02:16, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delist: in addition to the issues outlined above, and live citation needed tags, there are other prose infelicities, and the overall structure is pretty unclear (perhaps related to the WP:TOOBIG issues identified above). UndercoverClassicist T·C 21:01, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of Keynes pedophelia

[edit]

Keynes really didn’t even try to hide this. This article details much of his sexual history, since he meticulously kept records, but doesn’t mention this particular https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/analysis-and-features/john-maynard-keynes-new-biography-reveals-shocking-details-about-the-economist-s-sex-life-10101971.html 76.113.149.140 (talk) 18:29, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of Keynes most famous quote?

[edit]

A quote from HISTORY TODAY's article, "Keynes In The Long Run": " ‘The long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead,’ wrote John Maynard Keynes in his 1923 work, A Tract on Monetary Reform. Though rarely quoted in full, it is the utterance for which the great economist is both best known and most damned." 76.236.220.28 (talk) 19:55, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
