Good faith edits

I made a number of edits, the mass reverting and edit warring without leaving any comments within edit notes or on the talk page is inappropriate. Please discuss rather than edit war before we need to visit ani. 2600:1702:3C80:B60:2071:8EBC:E1CB:A1EA (talk) 20:10, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please give reasons for your changes, and remember that Wikipedia says what Reliable Sources say: WP:RS, not what any one of us thinks is the "correct" or accurate thing to say, please see WP:OR regarding that policy.---Avatar317 ^(talk) 22:25, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Minimum Wages Table

@Avatar317 I don't have a strong opinion which rates should be in the article, however I just checked the number for Spain in the cited OECD stats page and it is given there equal 10.6 USD PPPs / hour in 2020; for other countries the numbers also do not seem to match. Maybe I got something wrong, maybe the entire table should be double-checked and corrected. Birdofpreyru (talk) 19:01, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's strange; you're right, some of the numbers are off. I thought I double-checked some of the entries when this table was added and they were correct...I wonder if the OECD possibly revised their PPP inflation deflator? Wow! Maybe they did; this InternetArchive link shows different numbers on 2021-12-01 than now (I can't seem to get the hourly on the archive, but the yearly is different between then and now) [1] - maybe we should list the day the source was read? That's a little funky that they are (potentially) revising their inflation numbers (at least that's my best guess as to why these numbers are different)...strange... ---Avatar317 ^(talk) 20:42, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
