Secondary source overview by Axios removed

[edit]

Previously, the role of profits in inflation was more in the progressive economics fringe. By 2023, sellers' inflation was embraced by some mainstream economists, policymakers, and the business press.1

These secondary sources, like Axios and the WSJ that were removed from the lead but given an overview of the field seem like extremely useful, encyclopedic additions here - moreso than one-off listing of supporters and detractors, which seems more WP:OR than relying on WP:RS to give an overview.

What are you proposing? "embraced by some..." hardly demonstrates WEIGHT. SPECIFICO talk 02:07, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They probably fit best as summary sentences in Economic analysis ahead of the subsections Superb Owl (talk) 20:19, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing flag

[edit]

I am a bit confused as to why is there a flag saying that there needs to be better citations? There are around 60 citations to WP:RS Superb Owl (talk) 06:38, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a topic underlain by complex technical and empirical issues. Would we cite USA Today on details related to cold fusion? Search engines list all published sources. WP publishes the weight of a subset that reflects qualified fact and opinion. RS is the first test, not a reason to include. See WP:V. SPECIFICO talk 12:10, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So you are arguing that this article needs to rely primarily on academic studies to remove the flag? No news sources can be used to discuss this topic? Superb Owl (talk) 15:27, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No. SPECIFICO talk 20:06, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am going to remove the flag since there is no clear explanation for it Superb Owl (talk) 03:11, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is an article improvement tag not a flag. Its purpose is to notify other editots to come contribute to the article. Please read our guideline that tells when it should be removed. It should remain in place at this time. SPECIFICO talk 13:26, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You have not explained what needs improving Superb Owl (talk) 14:14, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I certainly did, at my reply to your initial post here. You can request help with the associated PAGs if you do not understand. SPECIFICO talk 14:35, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
