Wiki changes the definition of "recession", promptly locks page, demands that no one use the old def'n

The Mainstream Media's insistence on changing the definition of what indicates a "recession" is getting more absurd and obvious by the hour.  Latest example: 

A scant three HOURS after the biden regime was obliged to release the Q2 GDP figures--which showed two consecutive quarters of falling GDP that has always been the concensus definition of a recession--the rat-bastard socialists at Wiki joined the other Dem-run media in changing the definition of "recession."

Here's the original:

While national definitions vary, two consecutive quarters of a decline in a country's real GDP is commonly used as the definition of recession.

Here's the Newspeak version:

Although the definition of a recession varies between different countries and scholars, two consecutive quarters of decline in a country's real gross domestic product (real GDP) is commonly used as a practical definition of a recession.  [BUT] In the United States a recession is defined by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) as "a significant decline in economic activity spread across the market, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales."  In the United Kingdom and most other countries, it is defined as a negative economic growth for two consecutive quarters."

Wiki then adds "Please feel free to improve this article"--but the lackeys immediately locked the page to keep anyone except Wiki lackeys from changing it!

The lackeys then add this:

An outdated version of this article has been widely circulated.  Please check if claims or screenshots you've seen are consistent with what's currently here.

"Outdated," ya say?  Hmmm--it was just fine up to three hours ago.  How, exactly, did you lackeys suddenly decide it was "outdated," eh?

Translation: "The only definition we'll allow is the one you see now.  Earlier definitions that WERE here are 'outdated' and thus no longer operative.  So even if someone posts a screenshot of our earlier definition--which was our definition up until three hours ago--it's no good any longer!

Down the memory hole, citizen.
