This is clearly an article written as nothing other than an Austrian opinion piece. There are no real sources, and if someone does put someone up I assure you they will all come from the Mises institute. Is there anyone with some real information on this recession who doesn't feel the need to use it as nothing other than a method to justify their belief the the Great Depression was caused by teh socialisms, and that recessions can be fixed by doing nothing?74.251.36.170 (talk) 16:59, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
UK edit
Apparently UK GDP reduced 10.9% in 1919 then 6.0% 1920 8.1% 1921 which seems more than 'moderate'. Need a good source. - Rod57 (talk) 15:07, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Post–World War I recession → Post-World War I recession – Moved by HueMan1 and previously Hmains to "Post–" (note the dash). But this is not the correct usage of dashes in English: there is no noun "Post" being joined to "World War I". Instead, "post" is being used as a prefix, which in English is hyphenated. See MOS:HYPHEN. (Pinging Litesand, who previously made a similar request.) Wikiacc (¶) 02:03, 26 February 2021 (UTC) Withdrawn. Wikiacc (¶) 17:58, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Comment @Wikiacc: Please read MOS:PREFIXDASH. —hueman1 (talk • contributions) 02:44, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per MOS:PREFIXDASH. — BarrelProof (talk) 02:48, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose (strongly), per MOS:PREFIXDASH. (I'd totally recommend giving MOS:DASH a read.) Paintspot Infez (talk) 03:10, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- Neutral: I advise using an entirely non-dash format, per MOS:PREFIXDASH (as mentioned above).
There exists examples of hyphenation used for this purpose, e.g. article Part-of-speech tagging. En dashes aretypically onlyused in article titles when spanning a date range.I have not seen an article title formatted as Post(en dash)subject.— Christopher, Sheridan, OR (talk) 04:31, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- @DeNoel: See: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:PrefixIndex&prefix=Post%E2%80%93&namespace=0. —hueman1 (talk • contributions) 07:44, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose. Per MOS:PREFIXDASH: Instead of a hyphen, when applying a prefix or suffix to a compound that includes a space or a dash examples pre–World War II aircraft (consider recasting: aircraft from before World War II), post–September 11 anti-war movement.

- @Wikiacc, BarrelProof, Paintspot, DeNoel, and Rreagan007: I invite you to give some of your opinions at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style#Post–World War II or Post-World War II?—which is somewhat related to this RM, thanks. —hueman1 (talk • contributions) 08:13, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
- Withdraw. Thanks all for pointing me directly to MOS:PREFIXDASH, which I had previously missed. Wikiacc (¶) 17:58, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
