444:(in its previous version: SOEP Menu) refers to a methodology of retrieving data. There are NO other packages written for Stata in the world that are comparable in scope. Both packages are regularly presented at official Stata User's Meetings in the United Kingdom and Germany. In both instances, Statacorp has changed its source code in its executable to incorporate features introduced in the packages (in PanelWhiz's case: including multi-language support for variable and value labels). Might I suggest contacting the president of Statacorp (William Gould) and asking him his opinion whether PanelWhiz should be linked on the Stata wiki-page? He knows both packages very well. Might he not be a reputable person, having intimate knowledge of the functionality? An important part of Stata is that it is expanable! Users can write programs themselves. PanelWhiz contains something like 30,000 lines of Stata code. There are SEVERAL HUNDRED additional commands for Stata in the package PanelWhiz. It is the reason why PanelWhiz is also linked to Stata:

give a better feel of its capabilities. For example, the dataset is described in almost an apologetic manner rather than listing its capabilities/benefits. As another example, I've been rather impressed with the wide variety of Stata regression commands that support constraints, which is not typical in R.

The Stata page is short, direct, clean, professional, and lots of good things. However, it doesn't give me as good of a feel for the package as the R page does for R. I'm a long-time R user who recently purchased Stata and I'd love to expand some of the sections to include more information, and to

I've only made three or four minor edits to Wiki pages so far, so am not familiar with the protocol for adding a lot of material or even reorganizing material. As I said, I think what's in the page is reasonable -- as far as it goes -- so it's not like I think I'm so good that I should start from

to have been disregarded in this situation. Finally, since Stata has been around for over 20 years, and PanelWhiz has been around for less than one year, I find it hard to believe that PanelWhiz is so integral to Stata that it deserves a mention in the Stata article. I'm willing to be convinced

The advantage of PanelWhiz linking to Stata and allowing a PanelWhiz wiki-article, is that you will allow users to find the package easily and help them in their research. Often the users are
Masters and PhD students and other researchers. so much research is flawed, due to incorrect data work.

Well, I'm here from the RfC - I'm an economics student/TA, and I've never personally used PanelWhiz. However, I have heard of it - so that means it's probably pretty notable, as an econometric tool, since there aren't that many out there. I suggest we should probably clean up

PanelWhiz reduces these errors dramatically, as complex data sets contain typically many many files. The German household panel contains more than 200 data files. PanelWhiz handles this internally and CORRECTLY. It was presented recently at the

Aagtbdfoua that PanelWhiz should have been removed. I've used Stata for almost a decade, and come across many packages in that time, and I've never heard of PanelWhiz.
