Worldwide view flag

Hi all! I made additions to the article to include related regulation in the UK and EU in order to demonstrate the range in anti-competition efforts. I would appreciate feedback on whether more edits should be made or if it is appropriate to remove the "worldwide view" flag. Thank you! Jessg724 (talk) 15:05, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

I actually added a new section before I noticed yours. My original comment was: "This article is too focused on one country and needs to be expanded to include a broader focus and de-localised. Tojasonharris (talk) 05:19, 14 June 2022 (UTC)." I think the page is still very much in need of this flag. Tojasonharris (talk) 05:27, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

Given the term is mostly used in the US, I do not think the flag is warranted anymore. I moved it to the Covid-19 section that only has US examples Superb Owl (talk) 21:42, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Greedflation article

Since the idea of Greedflation is clearly closely related to price gouging but given that there is not consensus on exactly how it relates, I have started a separate article for it to understand this new term better (help welcome) Superb Owl (talk) 20:55, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Citations for review

@Avatar317: The the organization behind the protest directly references artificially high prices to it's creation and the protests. Likewise the protest present is in part about price gouging and specifically affordability. Making a requesting for comment due to past interactions. Des Vallee (talk) 22:47, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

The coverage of the protest and the mention of price gouging are in TWO SEPARATE ARTICLES in one publication. It is like a daily newspaper with one article covering the protest, and another article covering the death of Debbie Dogskin.

You might want to ask at RSN if that source is acceptable to support the caption for that picture, that would be a good place to get other opinions. ---Avatar317^(talk) 22:55, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

We heared of these crazy prices of seats, hotels, public transport. Can anulybody write how that is possible if price gouging is regulated? Thy, SvenAERTS228 (talk) 10:47, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
