, 17:43, September 18, 2009looking at a recent print m-w edition...
: I defended most of the removals in the comments. Removing the complaint about the definition of "invisible hand" is simple; it simply exists in the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Whether the original complainer was looking at a 15-year-old dictionary or not seems besides the point to me. The others I can discuss here if you like. --[[User:Prenvolost|Prenvolost]] 12:49, 18 September 2009 (EDT)

::I won't comment on the debatable items, but I can help clear up factual questions about the content of the dictionary. I have in front of me a recent print edition of the M-W dictionary, and it has both an entry for "invisible hand" and an appropriate definition of "group". These entries on this page need to either be removed or instead updated to note the fact that M-W took many years to add these terms. If there are any other particular terms whose current definitions you would like me to check, post on this page and I will reply. --[[User:MarkGall|MarkGall]] 13:43, 18 September 2009 (EDT)
