Using talk pages

[edit]

Hi, Mumbling macaw. I've removed your post at Talk:Recession because it doesn't seem to be related to improving that article, which is the sole purpose of talk pages. If you have general concerns about the state of Wikipedia, you are welcome to share them at Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous). Thanks! -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 07:29, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your comment

[edit]

I agree with your claim that political information has become quite unreliable in the last few years, and that the Internet is in the midst of a troubling shift in terms of its basic principles. It is also true that recent attempts to rewrite history have been disturbing. However, in this specific instance, I think you have read a half-assed clickbait article written by somebody who didn't know what they are talking about -- the two-quarter definition was always in the article, and what actually happened was a brief dispute between a few editors over whether it should say that in the second paragraph and the fourth paragraph, or just in the fourth paragraph. You can check the article history if you want -- Wikipedia maintains a permanent copy of all edits to every article, along with who made them (unlike most websites, which simply change information without any evidence that there was even a previous version). If you want to read more, I wrote an explanation of the whole deal. jp×g 08:24, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
