Problem with sources

[change source]

@Tropical Storm Angela, the sources that you added to the Baby Boomer page don't have a company-wide definition and is not a universally cited date range in comparison to others such as the United States Bureau and Pew Research Center. The articles are written by different writers who do not specialize in generational research, and some are dated as far back as 2010. It's completely fine to add articles that suggest other date ranges, however, they must be up-to-date to the relevent year as well as come from actual generational researchers, examples such as Pew and McCrindle; as well as being backed up and cited by other credible organizations. For example, the Library of Congress and Statistics Canada both specifically mention and cite Pew's definition for Millennials and Gen Z in their articles; and thus helps give credit to Pew Research Center's definition. This is a constant problem that I keep noticing with your edits concerning with the generational pages. You are a Wikipedia veteran, you should know this already.
