Under the "Scientific Research" heading, the article currently has:
"In January 2024, researchers concluded that there was a causal link between the Reddit/Twitter activity and the movements in the stock price."
Based on the linked source (a prepublication paper on ArXiv), I believe we should clarify that these were academic researchers from the Universities of Rome Tor Vergata, IT University of Copenhagen and Technical University of Denmark. This section is extremely brief (the quoted line comprises the entirety of the section) so I don't think including the institutions removes any valuable brevity here. I would therefore suggest:
"In January 2024, researchers from the universities of Rome Tor Vergata, Technical University of Denmark and IT University of Copenhagen concluded that there was a causal link between the Reddit/Twitter activity and the movements in the stock price."
If that is too long-winded, I would at least suggest:
"In January 2024, researchers from universities in Italy and Denmark concluded that there was a causal link between the Reddit/Twitter activity and the movements in the stock price."
To at least provide some geographical information and not just say "researchers", which is too vague in my opinion. TheRedshift (talk) 21:29, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

I would like to add information about the Gamestop billboard posted in Times Square on January 30th that became the most upvoted Reddit post of all time (and still is: https://www.reddit.com/top/?feed=home&t=all).
The billboard was featured in multiple documentaries about Gamestop and seems like a relevant addition to the story. https://nypost.com/2021/01/30/redditors-buy-times-square-billboard-as-gamestop-stock-saga-rages/ Zeemus (talk) 13:39, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. PianoDan (talk) 17:02, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
Grammar (article can't be edited)
"he began investing in GameStop during the summer of 2019, after believing the stock to be undervalued" -- Please remove the word "after". It's redundant. Of course he still believed this when he began investing. 2A00:23C5:FE1C:3701:B083:B892:4359:3A92 (talk) 19:35, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
Gamma Squeeze
Article states Gamma Squeeze took place but was written only one day after the critical events actually took place. SEC report Staff Report on Equity and Options Market Structure Conditions in Early 2021 written October 14, 2021 states that no gamma squeeze took place on p29. While it is an interesting phenomenon and should be included in the article, much of the data for this page is cited from the few days directly proceeding the events. 2603:6010:C700:56F:D19D:4A57:9670:B1F3 (talk) 04:34, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
Robinhood
The lead includes the statement "Dozens of class action lawsuits have been filed against Robinhood in U.S. courts". Surely by now it's possible to include whether any of those lawsuits were successful? ~2026-12795-5 (talk) 05:07, 18 January 2026 (UTC)
