"Wikipedia changed the definition of recession to favor the Biden regime, and then locked the page," Mike Cernovich said on Twitter after having noticed the change.
Wikipedia changed the definition of recession on their website to fit the Biden administration's redefined language. Wikipedia then locked the page preventing individuals from updating the website, which is a tool that Wikipedia has long provided. The White House changed the definition of "recession" last week ahead of the release of Thursday's economic report, which showed that the US has had two consecutive quarters of declining GDP. This was the standard definition, but the White House declared that the definition should be tied more closely to unemployment numbers.

On the Wiki page that provides the definition of a "recession," a message pops up when an attempt is made to edit the information, reading: "This page is protected to prevent vandalism."

Recession is generally defined as two consecutive quarters of NEGATIVE GDP. If you go from +3 to +2 it is considered a decline but it’s not a recession.
Joe Biden’s GDP went from a +3 GDP to a -2 and again to -0.9. Two consecutive NEGATIVE quarters.

Wikipedia serves an important public function.
The masses need to be told what they must think—and since the elites order such changes daily, even hourly, sometimes by the minute, it is critical to have a place to go to make sure you don’t say the wrong thing by accident and get fired from your job or banned from your cocktail party.

Wikipedia lies.

Freedom is slavery.

And recession is prosperity.
“Wikipedia is good as long as it’s readers remain skeptical.”
I agree.
Wikipedia doesn’t just put user-supplied edits in without inspecting them beforehand, correct?
I don’t like being pissed on and then telling me it’s raining outside.
And that is why any teacher worth their salt will give you a Zero for using it as the source in any paper.
Wikipedia. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They lock down articles to the general public editing them when they are controversial or there is a continual back and forth editing battle. Unfortunately the final, approved position is usually the politically leftward one.

Seems like everyone is aligned against ‘The People’
> Pretty soon YouTube will start flagging videos calling it a recession.

Some of it is very good. I have a couple wiki articles on information theory and radio signal coding printed up and on my desk right now. They are very thorough and have great reference lists for more research. If you are writing a school paper, read the wiki article and then use the references to research further and to be the actual sources. Hey, those are the same rules I had in school for paper encyclopedias - read it and use it for a first step in finding the original sources.
Never trust wiki on anything that’s politically or culturally controversial. Most other typical subjects it’s a good place to start.
Well then you’ll have to figure out a way to turn politicians into decent honest human beings. Nobody has, though. See tagline. Smiles
