Hi Guys, can someone help me reorganize the page to comply with the layout guidelines, please? Thanks! Thank you Magioladitis, Yobot and War wizard90 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.31.104.247 (talk) 17:47, 13 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
This website seems a stud. Most of the info is not correctly cited and very suspicious. As an economist I have never heard of Med Jones (before he added me in Linkedin last week). He claims to have "predicted the crises" but there is no proof of this. Most of the documents in which he shows up are very low-brow (an appendix in a memo to a congressman). I would ask some other people to inquire about this and perhaps pull this down. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.130.85.135 (talk) 15:38, 11 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hello fellow Wikipedians, There should be some deep investigation on this page for false information, or at the very least, verification that is not manufactured and/or managed via anonymous profiles by the subject. With some investigation, you can find that the allegations about predicting the economic crisis and being the originator of Gross National Happiness are put forth by Med Jones alone, and cannot be verified:
If you go to https://archive.org/web/ and paste in a URL, you can see when it was first indexed by the Internet Archive (not a guarantee, but a pretty good indicator of when it was first available for the public to read), and how often it’s changed:
https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.iim-edu.org/associates/medjones/gross-national-happiness-economics-gnh-index-gnh-2.htm tells me that the current GNH page on the International Institute of Management site was created around the same time as Med Jones started editing Wikipedia. But then: https://web.archive.org/web/20131111142335/http://www.iim-edu.org/associates/medjones/grossnationalhappinessgnh.htm shows that there was a previous GNH page there, which was maintained from 2010-2013, and then no longer found in 2015. Looking at the most recent version of that page: https://web.archive.org/web/20131111142335/http://www.iim-edu.org/associates/medjones/grossnationalhappinessgnh.htm I’ve tried following a few of the “Med Jones GNH …” links that go to sits other than iim-edu.org, and so far all the ones that have worked at all have been to work by *other authors* that don’t even seem to quote him!
https://web.archive.org/web/20140715000000*/http://www.iim-edu.org/associates/medjones/index.htm tells me that the institute’s page with his bio has been around since 2010, but I can also see individual snapshots. The first time the acronym “GNH” appeared on it seems to have been in Feb 2015: https://web.archive.org/web/20150207213810/http://www.iim-edu.org/associates/medjones/index.htm and the page only started promoting him as “widely quoted on the economics of happiness” in August 2014: https://web.archive.org/web/20140829030024/http://www.iim-edu.org/associates/medjones/index.htm The previous version says nothing about that, though it does link to the shady GNH page that lists lot of studies not by him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laura.musikanski (talk) 02:29, 25 September 2019 (UTC)laura musikanski Laura.musikanski (talk • contribs) 02:16, 25 September 2019 (UTC) Adding here also: Note that while this page has multiple citations, there are not citations from independent and verifiable sources that support the allegations for predicting the 2008 economic crisis before the crisis (seems rather important, no?) and there are no citations for creating the Gross National Happiness Index that are from independent and verifiable sources not manufactured by Med Jones or his website that are prior to 2008, when Bhutan first measured GHN with its Gross National Happiness Index - also seems rather important one would thing.
