Journalist here
Hi Linguaddict, I'm a journalist who regularly writes about Wikipedia for Slate, the New York Times, and other publications. If you're interested, you can read some of my work here: stephenharrison.com. I'd be very interested in interviewing you via email for a potential piece about about the OK Boomer Wikipedia page. Would you mind contacting me via my Wikipedia username or at the contact information that's on my website? Thanks much for considering. Stephenbharrison (talk) 23:34, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

ok boomer usage
I’m a millennial, so I might be getting this wrong. But I would suggest that one significant usage of “ok boomer” seems to be a response to people who are advocating for change when they won’t be around to deal with the consequences. I think in general, all generational cohorts are dismissive of those who don’t have to be held accountable for their actions. Enough of my cohort had reasonably priced college that was less competitive than what your cohort is experiencing.

I would say that if I didn’t advocate for student loan aid in some fashion, I’m hurting others with no consequences to myself and would have earned an “ok boomer” dismissal.

Taxes, climate change, healthcare, education, social security, retirement, etc are all issues with significant future impact that the boomers won’t be around to deal with.

Anyway, the usages in the article do seem to read as being dismissive based on age, rather than lack of consequences and I figured if someone was willing to give some elegant prose to my interpretation, it might help alleviate some of the sore feelings on the page?

I’m not sure if this is a public post or a direct message or if you’ll even see this? Or if I’ll see any responses. But I thank you for reading regardless of my accuracy in interpretation of the phrase. Your cohort is amazing and will make the world a better place. I hope us millennials will use our time with influence to pave a great path for y’all to take the reigns in the future. 71.244.146.88 (talk) 14:48, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

User talk
Hi there. At least for the moment I am now a talk page watcher. I saw you recently removed a large chunk of content from here. That is certainly your right. You might, however, want to consider archiving instead as that's generally preferred. You can read up about archiving options here and known I would also be happy to answer any questions you might have. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:21, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of 2020 Jamaica earthquake


The article 2020 Jamaica earthquake has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "There has been no apparent damage or casualties (even injuries) from this earthquake, and its strength itself (not that strong on a global scale, merely slightly unusual for this region) does not alone make it a notable event. WP:NOTNEWS also applies"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
