@RAJIVVASUDEV: Good article. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:21, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
- @RAJIVVASUDEV and Onegreatjoke: this is accepted as a helpful heuristic, but I don't think scholars consider it the definition in every case – could a hook be drafted that reflects that? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 07:31, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- ALT2:... that Julius Shiskin (pictured), presented a comprehensive set of guidelines for identifying recessions, which notably included the criterion of two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth?

- @Theleekycauldron: Kindly check. Thanks RV (talk) 08:54, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
That hook is alright. Onegreatjoke (talk) 17:06, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- @RAJIVVASUDEV and Onegreatjoke:
pardon me, but I don't think it is – if only because "comprehensive" and "notably" are editorial statements. Perhaps something like:
- ALT3: ... that Julius Shiskin (pictured) originated the idea that a recession can be identified by two quarters of negative GDP growth?
