End of the crisis?

[edit]

The lede is still written as if this was ongoing, but everything appears to have been "back to normal" by 2015. If there's insufficient references for an exact end, it could at least be changed to "was a multi-year debt crisis that took place in the European Union (EU) from the end of 2009".

The article Controversies surrounding the eurozone crisis is a confused mix of recap of this entire article that's 10 years out of date (lead sentence talks about an "ongoing" crisis) and a stale, forked copy of its Controversies section. I don't think this serves any useful purpose and it should either be given a very thorough update, or just merged back in. Jpatokal (talk) 00:22, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article is tagged as WP:TOOLONG, so a solution to that problem (and this proposal) would be to split the section European debt crisis#Controversies, leaving behind an excerpt, replacing the current outdated/overlapping text at Controversies surrounding the eurozone crisis.

Causes seem incomplete

[edit]

There were two main causes for EU countries that led to their public debt crisis, being

1 "switching" to the low-inflation Euro currency without sustainably fulfilling or willing to fulfill the Maastricht treaty criteria attached to the Euro

2 "being" in the Euro without adhering to the fiscal discipline necessary for that low-inflation currency, e.g. not increasing spending levels out of line with the productivity development

One can connect a lot of other detailed decisions and events with these two main reasons but the article seems to lack any systematic description of the reasons.

GA concerns

[edit]

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are outlined below:

  • There are uncited passages throughout the article, including a "citation needed" tag from 2018.
  • As per the yellow banner at the top of the page, this article is considered WP:TOOBIG. I recommend that some inforamtion be spun out into other articles.
  • There are some sources that might not be considered reliable, including "seekingalpha.com", "New Economic Perspectives" and "Jim Rogers Blog"

Is anyone interested in addressing the above concerns, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 01:00, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
