On 7 October 2013, it was proposed that this article be moved from United States federal government shutdown of 1995–96 to United States federal government shutdown of 1995 and 1996. The result of the discussion was moved to United States federal government shutdowns of 1995 and 1995-96 (non-admin close). |

One of the worst, biased and incomplete articles I've ever seen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.154.184.148 ( talk) 12:56, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
This article does not discuss the events leading up to the shutdown. Omitting these facts tends to bias the article toward the conservative viewpoint. As such, I have serious concerns about the neutrality of this article. Naptastic ( talk) 06:15, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
The comment stating they need to raise the dept ceiling, needs clarification; was the claim political or factual? Both the administration and Gingrich submitted a balanced budget, why would the ceiling need to be raised? The differences were fundamentally between Democrat and Republican on how to balance the budget, what cuts would help or hurt the county. The article is written to suggest Gingrich wouldn't need to raise the ceiling for his budget, but Clinton would, that was not the case and is misleading. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bayhuntr ( talk • contribs) 03:58, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
-- Agreed. This article looks like something right out of one of Hitler's propaganda campaigns.
No wonder Wikipedia is not considered a reliable source by the university librarians I've run into. This is one of many articles with POV problems. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.115.2.48 ( talk) 19:55, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
Would love more info on the second shutdown fromm December 16, 1995 to January 6, 1996. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Asherkobin ( talk • contribs) 17:22, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
The West Wing portrays a shut down similar to the 1995 shut down in season 5 (episode 7-8). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.219.212 ( talk) 21:17, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
The result section summarizes the political fallout but it never actually summarizes the end to the crisis: eventually a budget was passed that put the US on track for a balanced budget. Dark567 ( talk) 16:05, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

While WP is an encyclopedia and not a gossip mag, I think something from reliable published sources should be added to note the dovetailing between the Monica Lewinsky encounters and the shutdown. The reports on the matter, and their summaries, observe at various points that the early encounters occurred during the November shutdown period, and some published sources I've read via newspapers (not gossip mags) draw connections between the two timelines. It's a relevant part of the story.
You get the idea. I'm not any kind of a mission related to this; I just think a complete picture of the shutdown includes its importance in this strange segment of presidential history. Lawikitejana ( talk) 09:36, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

This article really ought to address how the situation ended. How did the government "reopen"? -- BDD ( talk) 23:31, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
The government shutdown was ostentatiously to save money, but the only figure given in the article is how much the shutdown cost (mainly in compensation to workers). There are no figures given for how much money was saved if any. I wanted to know whether the shutdown achieved its aim financially (obviously it did politically). It is relevant to current affairs because if the '95 shutdown did not actually save money, it will be harder for a President to perform the same action for the same reason again. Mykro ( talk) 01:31, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
IIRC, the government workers eventually received back pay. Worth adding this to the article? Â

How did the standoff end? There's no detailed discussion of the negotiations over September to January. For what was one of the major events out of Washington in the 1990s, this article has been incredibly sparse for years. It was even in the age of the internet, so there's got to be a volume of primary sources. The amount of content here makes you think the shutdown occurred in 1895. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.158.44.243 ( talk) 18:05, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
In just some quick searching, I found this, which included a list of departments & agencies affected by the 2nd shutdown: http://www.cnn.com/US/9512/budget/12-18/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.158.44.243 ( talk) 18:25, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
This article needs expansion on the debt-ceiling and creative accounting to avoid breaching it. Such as that studied in http://www.gao.gov/products/AIMD-96-130 -- 65.92.181.39 ( talk) 22:49, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved to United States federal government shutdowns of 1995 and 1995-96. This entire discussion was an ugly mess, poorly formatted and unclear, made worse when the page was actually moved during the move request (!!). The title of the page as I close this request, United States federal government shutdowns of 1995–96, had little or no support and the move should not have taken place. Nobody likes this location for the article; it makes a mockery of at least two of the five naming criteria. But the move makes it awkward to declare no consensus, especially since (though I disagree with the action) there's something of a clear consensus to put "shutdowns" in the plural (which makes sense because, well, there were two different government shutdowns). There were proposals to abbreviate United States, which did not really attract enough support, and to turn 1995-96 into 1996, which I seriously considered but then rejected because it's not strictly accurate--the '96 shutdown still mostly occurred in 1995. In summary, I hate this move request, but this has got to go somewhere, and at least this title is accurate. ( non-admin closure) Red Slash 18:37, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

One of previous RMs resulted in using "United States federal government shutdowns of 1995 and 1995–96". Somehow, the title was changed back to "United States federal government shutdowns of 1995–1996" without another RM discussion. I wonder whether anyone is all right with the current title.
