I've done a few wikipedia entries on various topics, both Marxian and non-Marxian, on a suggestion by Jim Devine. Many of the existing Marxian entries were IMO pretty bad and there were no entries for some others. In my experience, even most economics students are pretty bad at explaining what econometric concepts mean. Since I have some experience of wrestling with those concepts and probinfg their meaning, I thought I would write that up. This does not commit me to "Marxism" or sloganism, it commits me to the idea that these concepts have a definite meaning, that not just anything can mean anything, and that you can explain them free from the constraints of dogma and orthodoxy. Wikipedia is often used, so this small reference service reaps its own reward, in eliminating at least some bullshit talked about these concepts. But if I am wrong in my articles, someone can always improve them.
