Cusper Page edit
Hey Examining. I think this FBronco is being overly nitpicky/critical about the Cosmo source/range of 1991-2002 because he just doesn’t like it. This user’s account is only 3 days old, and it was made shortly after someone complained on Reddit about the source being included on Wikipedia. I ran it by Scarpy and Someone before adding it, as I do in good faith/collaboration. You have also now taken a look at the source, and you have seen people trying to vandalize the page since it went up. What do you think? I don’t think this FBronco is genuine at all.

- @Centennial357 Hey there! I was willing to give the user benefit of the doubt at first (and still want to), but the recent comments about the source and its usefulness to the page don't seem to be all that constructive.
- The Vice source and the Fortune source both seem to offer just as much information about zillennials as the Cosmo source (as they specifically relate to each topic to which the articles pertain). They don't explicitly explain the reasons for their ranges either.
- It seems like the user has more of an issue that the source is included at all rather than including 1990, like they originally argued. This user isn't nearly as bad as the user from our previous talk almost 2 years ago. Examining (talk) 23:45, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
Yes, I also agree that it is odd that his initial push to include 1990 borns has done a 180 to wanting the source removed completely. And yes FBranco is better (more calm & collected) than the last debate we got pulled into a while back. I appreciate you talking with him. Centennial357 (talk) 23:56, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
Yup, already found a post on Reddit by a user trying to find others to support them in getting this Cosmo source removed from the Wikipedia page. Again, purely because they are not a fan of the range. Not surprised Centennial357 (talk) 00:34, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
