== Rest In Peace ==


Thanks for your contributions to economics articles: they are a massive improvement! I hope we can bring on board some more economists [retired or otherwise] to help with the CZ effort. The wikipedia approach to economics is a far cry from what I would consider clear and erudite thinking on these issues, and I would like to avoid repeating that on CZ. --[[User:Martin Baldwin-Edwards|Martin Baldwin-Edwards]] 16:44, 17 September 2007 (CDT)
RIP Nick Gardner. You were one of most prolific editors on CZ. Many of your wonderful articles were featured. ([[User:Chunbum Park|Chunbum Park]] 20:05, 1 July 2013 (UTC))

Thank you for your words of encouragement. I am intrigued with the possibility of conveying the basic ideas of economics in simple verbal logic without the aid of equations and diagrams. I may try that approach on the main economics article.  
Desperately sad at this news. He was a fine scholar and writer. [[User:Gareth Leng|Gareth Leng]] 08:21, 2 July 2013 (UTC)


I need some advice, however. I should like to see much of what is written in that article transferred to an article on the history of economics thought. I suspect that to be beyond the power of an author? If so, how could it be arranged?
Nick was truly a scholar and a gentle man. He worked diligently to create a coherent series of articles on basic economics, all of which were of high quality. He contributed to more than 80 articles. When he died, Nick was working on a second edition of his book called "Mistakes". His son John will continue to edit the book for readability and work to get it published. We wish him luck, and condolences for his loss.  [[User:Anthony.Sebastian|Anthony.Sebastian]] 21:56, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

I don't see why it is beyond the power of an author, as long as there is no opposition. I am not opposed, and the main author of these economics articles left CZ. Put the proposal on the Talk page, so that it is all transparent, and people can object if they want [they won't!]. Wait a few days, then go ahead. Message me when you have done it, so I can check it out. Seems ok in principle, to me. Bear in mind that other people may come along later and modify things, but this is true for all articles on CZ. We control such changes with editorial oversight. --[[User:Martin Baldwin-Edwards|Martin Baldwin-Edwards]] 17:03, 18 September 2007 (CDT)

Will do.
Sad news, I'm glad I got to read Nick's work here, especially during the crash of 2008. I have not head of his book "Mistakes" so I'm intrigued to read the new edition after John has finished. [[User:Chris Day|Chris Day]] 02:13, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
