Welcome!

Hello, SurfingPenguinPhd, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Time preference

Hi. Your addition to the time preference article included a very long quote from your source. For a variety of reasons, you should avoid lengthy quotes in Wikipedia, and instead focus on reframing the information entirely in your own words. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:40, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I really think that is the best way to state the idea. It is concise, lays out the points, and each of those terms is commonly used in future literature. SurfingPenguinPhd (talk) 04:45, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
