Hello, I'm Howicus. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Generation Z, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

 * Yeah, stop changing the dates on the Strauss and Howe page too. The dates you changed are clearly wrong according to all their books on the subject. 2606:6000:610A:9000:1D0F:636F:39A:867D (talk) 21:09, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Yes that is what their books said when they were originally written but the general consensus on the dates have changed since then. This is because the age for major events such as 9-11 or the economic crisis of 2008 creates a huge difference between people born in 1982 vs 1999. Someone born in '82 was 19 for 9-11 and 26 for the economic crisis. While someone born in '99 was 2 for 9-11 and 9 for the economic crisis.


 * The article is about Strauss and Howe -- not the "general consensus". The authors have never changed their birth dates. For example, this interview about the Homeland generation (Gen Z) is dated 10/14/14 http://www.forbes.com/sites/neilhowe/2014/10/27/introducing-the-homeland-generation-part-1-of-2/ 2606:6000:610A:9000:1D0F:636F:39A:867D (talk) 21:56, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Ok you are right about this article and thank you for providing the link. However the pages for Generation Z and Millennials should reflect the general consensus and not just two authors' definition.


 * The Gen Z and Millennials pages already provide many major sources for the range of birth dates under "terminology" like this for ex. http://time.com/247/millennials-the-me-me-me-generation/ and consensus was reached on the Gen Z talk page back in 2013. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Generation_Z The birth dates on the Millennials page have been discussed for over 5 or 10 years so you're a bit late on this.  Thank you. 2606:6000:610A:9000:1D0F:636F:39A:867D (talk) 22:08, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
