replies: text: Shouldn't there be sources cited for the graphs?  Not having any implies that there is some kind of consensus for the numbers involved, which of course there isn't.  So I think the graphs should be labeled with whatever group or individual created them. JBrownIII (talk) 19:31, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  1965? 

message: Hey @Nerd271. Regarding this revert: I notice you reverted my attempts to add the term "Western world social generation" to the leads of these articles. Honestly I don't really care what term we pick, but I do think we need to coalesce around one term and then add them to these articles and be consistent.
I picked "Western world social generation" because it is the title of the sidebar Template:Generations Sidebar, and because it is used at Generation#Social generation and Generation#Western world. If you don't like that name, let's pick another one and be consistent with it. This concept needs a name, and maybe even its own article (although for now it is a big chunk of the Generation article). Something with "cohort" might also be a good choice. Thoughts? –Novem Linguae (talk) 02:55, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The first problem is that "Western world" is not an adjective. Note that the sidebar says, "Social generations of the Western world." The articles in this category can all be started in a fairly uniform manner. All articles on social generations have been fixed. Nerd271 (talk) 03:04, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: "Western world social generation" sounds fluent to me. But no biggie. Would changing it to "social generation of the Western world" be better? –Novem Linguae (talk) 03:06, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I fixed all the articles. They all start pretty much the same way now. I don't think we need to make further changes in this regard. I have been editing these articles (especially Baby Boomers, Millennials, Generation Z, and Generation Alpha) since the late 2010s. The starts of these articles are fairly stable by this time.

replies: text: My idea is that whatever Generation X, Generation Y, Baby Boomer, Millennial, etc. are is a term that needs a name and perhaps even its own article. Then we mention it in the intro of all these articles and we wikilink to the term. Looks like you changed everything back to "demographic cohort". That might work as a term if you and others warm up to this idea. If not no biggie. –Novem Linguae (talk) 03:25, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Click on the link to "social generation" and see what happens. It links you to a specific section of the article on generations. A social generation or a demographic cohort is not to be confused with a biological generation. Nerd271 (talk) 03:28, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
