Talk:Credit tightening

Merger

 * support That's the more often used term, and a much better written and sourced article. Someone who works on this article should redirect it and merge as needed.  NJGW (talk) 05:47, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * do not merge I've explained this on the credit crunch talk page. Tightening is clearly distinct from crunch.  Squeeze is an ambiguous term.  It should only be used in the context of tightening (as per the World Bank paper) but is sometimes confused with crunch.  It would be better for all concerned that squeeze die out and only crunch and tightening be used (consistent with World Bank terminology) but in the absence of a linguistic revolution, I think the recent edits are the best solution.  I hope you can live with this. - Ron Paul...Ron Paul... (talk) 07:32, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the mess. I hope it will be cleaned up shortly.  Squeeze and contraction should actually both be redirected to tightening, as per the World Bank paper.  There's been so much toing and froing on this, it now needs to be cleaned up by an administrator.  Oh well.... - Ron Paul...Ron Paul... (talk) 07:48, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Any additional comments:


 * question why in the world would you move the article to one place and then request it be moved to another?  NJGW (talk) 01:46, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Because I stuffed up. Of course.  Why else would I request it?  (To add detail: I couldn't move squeeze to tightening because tightening already existed...it's a long long story.  Admin guys can clean it up.  Your comment is irrelevant to the substantive issue anyway...)- Ron Paul...Ron Paul... (talk) 22:28, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
