Perhaps the phrase "The Great Recession was a period of marked general decline (recession) observed in national economies globally during the late 2000s" is vague as to exactly when it occurred. As modern and past historians have commonly written, phrases such as "the late 1700s" could be used to refer to events later in the century, such as the American War of Independence. It is for these reasons that I propose that it ought to be worded as "The Great Recession was a period of marked general decline (recession) observed in national economies globally that occurred between 2007-2009"
This may be controversial as one could argue that the effects of said recession and as an extension the recession itself had lasting effects past 2009.

Not a SINGLE mention of Stinking B.O.bama. Wow Wikipedia. 73.161.117.15 ( talk) 20:44, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
Obama could be mentioned in terms of recovery.
Also thought that maybe Madoff merits some footnote here. "Madoff's personal and business asset freeze created a chain reaction throughout the world's business and philanthropic community, forcing many organizations to at least temporarily close, including the Robert I. Lappin Charitable Foundation, the Picower Foundation, and the JEHT Foundation." Drsruli ( talk) 04:02, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect
American financial crisis and has thus listed it
for discussion. This discussion will occur at
Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 April 4#American financial crisis until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Anybody who knows, is there a wikipedia policy on colorblind friendly gradients for graphics? The reason colorblindess exists is when a gene is malformed for seeing pairs of colors, and primates see slight differences in green and red more easily due to having overlapping genes for it. But that also means almost all colorsight issues are with green and red. Green and Red are the most contrasting colors (so they get picked by sighted people) and the most problematic choice (most color blindness is actually just red green deficiency) for that one biological reason. Any Ideas? 198.102.151.247 ( talk) 00:57, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
This sentence:
"Under the academic definition, the recession ended in the United States in June or July 2009."
in the section "Terminology" has 9 citations. Another:
"Britain's decision to leave the European Union in 2016 has been partly attributed to the after-effects of the Great Recession on the country."
in the section "Effects on Europe" has 5.
Someone ( I am too lazy :/ ) could maybe read through them all and select one or two of the sources for each statement. Ribidag ( talk) 15:25, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
