  • 05:3605:36, 9 April 2024 diff hist −366‎ m Papiermark ‎ →‎Post War issues: This opening sentence is so poorly worded that it doesn't make sense, and the Reichsbank couldn't have paid it's debt to France by printing new papiermarks, because that was not a currency accepted for payment of the debt. If it was then they could have paid it on day one by simply printing a note with the entire value of the debt.

  • 14:5314:53, 7 April 2024 diff hist −14,683‎ Hyperinflation ‎ Why does a page explaining hyperinflation have a section of "things that are explicitly not hyperinflation"? This section is not relevant.
  • 14:4714:47, 7 April 2024 diff hist −20‎ m Hyperinflation ‎ →‎Currency: I swear someone has just copied huge swathes of this article from an undergrad textbook and not even read it. What are these incredible, unsubstantiated claims? Cite some sources if you're going to say "governments will often", and there's no effort made to cite the claims about price controls.
  • 14:4414:44, 7 April 2024 diff hist −459‎ Hyperinflation ‎ →‎Currency: These paragraphs are written in the past-tense as if they're referencing specific historical examples, but there's no context given, nor reference cited for these claims.
  • 14:3814:38, 7 April 2024 diff hist −454‎ m Hyperinflation ‎ →‎Effects: This is a trivia point at best and adds nothing to the understanding of hyperinflation in this article.
  • 14:3414:34, 7 April 2024 diff hist +369‎ Hyperinflation ‎ →‎Money supply: Claim was broad and unsubstantiated. Adjusted and added additional context and citation for addition.Also changed "printing" to "creation". Printing is a misnomer as a majority of the money created will not be in the form of physical currency.
  • 14:1114:11, 7 April 2024 diff hist −100‎ m Hyperinflation ‎ →‎Money supply: Did someone just pull this straight from an undergrad textbook? Why are we using M/P here out of nowhere when it's not a format that's been used anywhere before this point in the article?
  • 14:0914:09, 7 April 2024 diff hist −7,142‎ Hyperinflation ‎ →‎Causes: This Models section contributes nothing to the historical context, nor contemporary understanding, and it doesn't even make sense in it's own explanation. The velocity of money is a factor of the supply of money, so how can the theory not comprehend which of the two is the causal factor? The quoting of Friedman at the end is also a bizarre inclusion. This is a wikipedia article, not an economic propaganda book.
  • 13:4513:45, 7 April 2024 diff hist −126‎ m Hyperinflation ‎ This sentence has it backwards and doesn't make sense ahead of the following sentences. How can it be claimed that government deficits cause hyperinflation, then in the very next sentence it's acknowledged that those deficits came in the aftermath of war and other social and economic disasters? Hyperinflation events are correlated with massive impacts like wars, deficits are not correlated with hyperinflation events.
  • 12:3612:36, 7 April 2024 diff hist −187‎ m Zimbabwean dollar ‎ →‎Hyperinflation: Quantity theory of money is tautological nonsense. It's controversial to say the least, and that it was referenced without citation suggests it should be removed from use here+. Zimbabwe had a plethora of economic and political issues for decades leading up to their hyperinflation event. To blame it all on the quantity of money in the economy is bafflingly myopic.
