Pre May 5th

There were protests and striked in the lead up to yesterday, some mentions of that needs to be expanded upon. I've madet he section, but asked for an expansion.Lihaas (talk)

Greek austerity measures

Shouldn't there be an article specifically for the measures themselves, explaining them in detail? That makes sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ItCanHappen (talk • contribs) 23:47, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, I think that the best option would be to incorporate them into the Greek financial crisis article. BBC has a nice overview of the measures here.--Philly boy92 (talk) 16:31, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And which article is that? I wanted something to link to from Gasoline and diesel usage and pricing‎. The crisis affects our gas prices.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 16:39, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Vchimpanzee, you could try the European sovereign debt crisis article. Gfcvoice (talk) 04:15, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And how about more discussion on the specific items that the protesters are against? Possibly it is just a truth with the movement, but reading this article it sounds like their whole philosophy is to make somewhat childish but catchy and easily repeated phrases. What specifically do they think is unfair (for instance, do they think loans given the country were appropriated by corrupt government officials, which is why they don't want to pay them back)? As it is, from the outside, their concerns are unknown and people often put it down to the freeloader's feeling of entitlement. A cogent listing of their complaints, with supporting evidence of legitimacy, would go a long way to helping people understand.24.85.252.83 (talk) 20:58, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Major revisions are needed

After all, the protests were partly repsonsable for the resignation of the Papandreau government and have been ongoing since....Ericl (talk) 15:40, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Title is wrong. Says 2010–2011. Needs to say 2010–2012

The strikes and mass demonstrations continued on Feb 7 2012 despite downpours in Athens.

How about 2010s? it could go on for years.Ericl (talk) 22:29, 12 February 2012‎ (UTC)[reply]

Commentary

Greece has problems and officials say the handling is being maturely attenuated. Virginia (in the USA), has 1,500+ people living in tents in poor conditions and no access to courts (or dental care): plenty of access to being arrested. Incredible if you look at urban sprawl of VA using google. Here radio people, ie "Mark Levin" has said "it's not whether unionized government is inflating us all taking advantage of numbers: it's what citizens can do about it or whether it's too late!" -- John Hendrickson debguy

Oppose all. Words like 'present', 'recent' and 'future' should always be avoided in article titles because when these events end we will be left with an inaccurate and misleading redirect (which will need to be kept to avoid link rot). The current titles do not have this problem and even if the pages are moved in future the redirects left behind will still be accurate. 82.132.225.233 (talk) 21:24, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of banks acquired or bankrupted during the 2007–2012 global financial crisis should be moved to List of banks acquired or bankrupted during the Great Recession per the move of 2007–2012 global financial crisis. 82.132.226.244 (talk) 21:32, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose all - if the article is being maintained it is an uncontroversial technical move to bump up a year on a case by case basis. If the article isn't being maintained then that suggests the subject has died and the title has stuck at an accurate end date. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:36, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
