Generation boundaries in peer-reviewed literature

As I conduct research on GenZ boundaries, I've observed that the current article lacks comprehensiveness. Accordingly, I aim to enhance the article by incorporating additional sources and pertinent information, providing a complete perspective of the generational boundaries.

The references you're referring to are literally in the highlighted babyboomer4,5

Original research

"In Asia, educators in the 2000s and 2010s typically sought out and nourished top students; in Western Europe and the United States, the emphasis was on poor performers. Furthermore, East Asian and Singaporean students consistently earned the top spots in international standardized tests in the 2010s."

This appears to be original research. Citation 45 mentions in passing that Asia and the mideast spent more on gifted students, but only speaks of Europe in comparison. Citations 46-49 are a random selection of test performances. Furthermore, neither 45 nor 46-49 even mention Gen Z specifically. I also noticed this wasn't established in the main body, either. So this is a really tacky mess of wp:or and maybe WP:LEADBOMB? A Rainbow Footing It (talk) 12:28, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, if you read the full article (citation 45), you would realize that gifted education in United States is the main topic of discussion, but Asian countries (including China and those in the Middle East) are mentioned, alongside Europe. The second sentence pertains to the same period as the coming of age of Generation Z, and is therefore relevant. For more information, please see the page Education of Generation Z. That page is linked in the relevant section of the article. Nerd271 (talk) 17:35, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Older millenials are parents of GenZ

This is the link that is on the page and it clearly. States GenZ are born to younger baby boomers and that younger gen z are the children of millennials, but yet that parts left off why? I'm not sure why we're cherry. Picking facts to harass and bully me. Just because I want the truth and its entirety on the page as it should be.

Is direct quote from link sourcing

"Comparatively a small proportion of Gen Z are children of younger Baby Boomers and the youngest of them are children of Millennials. Predominantly parents of Gen Z’s are Gen Xers." Deathlands82 (talk) 11:48, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Grammatical error in second paragraph under Arts & Culture > Common Culture. The sentence "Although nostalgia is normally associated with the elderly, this sentiment is now commonplace those who came of age during the 2010s and 2020s" should be changed to "Although nostalgia is normally associated with the elderly, this sentiment is now commonplace among those who came of age during the 2010s and 2020s" or something along those lines. 50.41.25.190 (talk) 22:17, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the 'Economic trends' part, there is a wrong wiki link. It should go to a different article. Change the wiki link from going to an article about Pigouvian tax, to an article about sin tax. Julka1912 (talk) 01:10, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
