Infobox[edit]

User:JdH insists on deleteing the infobox with no discussion. As also remarked by other users, the consensus at WP:BIO is to use infoboxes. User:JdH, please discuss here. Also, you might want to check WP:CIVIL (the silly remark among other things) and WP:3RR. Regards, AdamSmithee 08:13, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Top importance?[edit]

I've spent a lifetime in finance and have literally never heard of this economist. Does this article really rate as Top importance? Surely, more of his work should have survived in popular economic theory to achieve this designation. Anyone else feel the same? Ronnotel 19:14, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Did he really say this?[edit]

I saw this on a rather crackpot site, and wonder if he really said it, but can't find anything online, anyone know?

"A Dutch professor Jan Tinbergen, in 1969 while receiving his Nobel Prize in Economics, in an interview he said amongst other things: "The Bank of England is the head of the global banking octopus; without them people everywhere would pay no more than seventeen percent in taxes to cover all social costs. And I mean all: medicare, education, public transport, care for the elderly and all other services we usually pay for. According to Nobel Prize winner Tinbergen: Everything above 17% in taxes is theft by a government and its civil servants.."

Names[edit]

The Dutch custom of abbreviating names is not widely known outside of the Netherlands and is confusing to foreigners.

The names Niko and Nikolaas refer to the same person. -- Peter Lund <firefly@vax64.dk> 82.143.195.103 16:46, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
