I'm on the fence about this... It does seem a little ridiculous/embarrassing to rush to Wikipedia to change the definition just to try to not have it be named.

I'm on the fence about this... It does seem a little ridiculous/embarrassing to rush to Wikipedia to change the definition just to try to not have it be named... the current page looks ok. If the NEBR truly defines recession in the US, then technically I guess its there call. That said the battle over where two down quarters == recession is just ridiculous... yea, that's pretty much always been the definition or idea. US politics shouldn't supersede that.
