[edit]

This article does not presently meet the criteria for a list based articles WP:NOTDIR see also WP:LISTCRIT

Criteria for inclusion should factor in encyclopedic and topical relevance, not just verifiable existence. For example, all known species within a taxonomic family are relevant enough to include in a list of them, but List of Norwegian musicians would not be encyclopedically useful if it indiscriminately included every garage band mentioned in a local Norwegian newspaper.

This list currently enumerates protests regardless of size or presence of associated articles. It currently meets the following criteria because it was too long for its parent article,which is why it was moved. However the encyclopedic usefulness of its contents need to be evaluated, especially as events continue to unfold.

Every entry in the list fails the notability criteria. These lists are created explicitly because most or all of the listed items do not warrant independent articles: for example, List of Dilbert characters or List of paracetamol brand names. Such lists are almost always better placed within the context of an article on their "parent" topic. Before creating a stand-alone list consider carefully whether such lists would be better placed within a parent article. (Note that this criterion is never used for living people.)

10?

[edit]

Really, protests with just 10 people? Surely there must be a minimum level?Slatersteven (talk) 11:41, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

summaries

[edit]

Hi everyone, we have got to do better with summaries in this main article! When people hit this page now, it looks like we haven't recorded any protests at all hardly :( If you have been splitting out state-level articles, please help out with writing better summaries for each state section in this main page. -- phoebe / (talk to me) 05:00, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cite Error in Pennsylvania section

[edit]

In the Pennsylvania section of the article there's a note "[b]", but when I hover over it I get a big red error that says "Cite error: The named reference see.main was invoked but never defined". I haven't tried to edit it because I'm not sure what it's meant to point to instead. If anybody does know, could this be fixed? Thanks! – numbermaniac 15:10, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
