Generation Jones edits
Deleted Youtube references, which of course are invalid to Wikipedia. Ledboots (talk) 20:58, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
- You did considerably more than that. Why did you remove non-YouTube refs? Ed Fitzgerald t / c 21:18, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
- Why did you return the Youtube references? There is undue weight on "Generation Jones" in an article about the "Baby Boom", period. This edit dispute is being carried over from Generation X. I added the pundits website back for now, even though it is a questionable citable reference. Ledboots (talk) 21:45, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
- Why are you talking only about Americans baby boom? Term "baby boom" is more used to refer baby boom in Europe, also after WW2. Baby boom's top model countries in Europe are Finland and Switzerland, both of the countries now having major problems with people born after war being in retirement age and going to cost lots of money for the rest of society. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.226.144.130 (talk) 08:41, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
Inclusion of current expert opinion
There are many analysts who argue that the post-WWII baby boom includes two seperate cultural generations: Boomers and Generation Jones. You can find dozens of such analysts on this page: http://generationjones.com/2009latest.html . You can find many more in the references section of the Generation Jones article. If anyone (Hello Arthur Rubin) wants to revert my change, please follow Wiki protocol and discuss here on this talk page the basis by which you believe my edit is innacurate. In other words, please say specifically, with support, why the many analysts which are can be found on the links I just provided do not support my edit.TreadingWater (talk) 22:47, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
By definition, the post-war baby boom could not have begun in 1943, so that nonsense was deleted.
