Edits on Recession
I think your edit was probably an improvement, but since everyone is going completely insane over that sentence on the talk page and has been doing so all day (and a few newspapers have written about it as well), I think you should probably revert it -- there's nothing resembling a consensus, and people are currently trying to rip each other's throats out over the phrasing. jp×g 02:06, 29 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I disagree that it should be reverted. Though it's certainly a contentious article at the moment, this is definitely an improvement. I'll comment on the talk page. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️‍🌈) 02:14, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

The media coverage does make the article sensitive to edits. It seems some of the criticism was directed towards the opening phrase of the second paragraph since the term “global” was used to emphasize the lack of consensus. I felt this grossly generalizes the application of the term recession as a recession can occur not only in global markets but also isolated communities. Hence, I decided to revise the line and specify that some countries have, although not all, come to a consensus on their own definitions and differing scholarly schools of economic thought have come to a consensus on their own definitions as well (putting emphasis on how consensuses have been reached but are competing ones at that the very least). I don’t think it’s much to get worked up about though. It’s only one line of a very large article. Hopefully we can get some qualms about the neutrality of the article sorted out soon!
