Picture?

This article needs a picture. Perhaps a non-copyrighted picture from Flickr or a similar website? Thanks. Vis-a-visconti (talk) 04:04, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to use the picture at: https://staging.airflowsciences.com/rkn/Holyland/20AmmanDemonstration0.jpg The quality isn't high, but I own the copyright. This is a picture of the protest in Nassar Circle that I took on 24 March 2011. By March 25th, things were tense enough that I didn't want to risk the security people seeing me with a camera.

Infobox proposal

The purpose of an infobox is to accurately summarize an article so the reader doesn't have to read through the whole article to get the main facts.

Take a look at these three versions of the infobox. The exact text can be changed; don't focus on that. Which format best summarizes the content of the article for the readers? Note that 1 & 3 are similar, but 1 removes the "Lead figures" and "Parties", etc sections. ~ Justin Ormont (talk) 19:50, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Open this for the options

There are many more variants which can and do exist. Here are a few. Which format best summarizes the content of the article for the readers?

Option One

Option Two

Option Three

I'd say the one on the right. - ArnoldPlaton (talk) 09:23, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict or protests

Is there a civil conflict in Jordan like Libya or Yemen? If this is not true, why do we have "Parties to the civil conflict" in the main box? Kavas (talk) 16:10, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As they are sparadic and somewhat small, at least since March, they're protests.Ericl (talk) 13:42, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Date of beginning protests?

The infobox says the protests began on January 7, but I can't find sources that cite protests beginning earlier than the 14th. If we can't find sources to back up the January 7 date, we should be listing something else. I'd be happy to change it to the 14th, as indicated in other sources. See revisions to "protests" section.

Protests ongoing

Although overshadowed by news from Syria, there are still protests going on in Jordan. Should this page name be changed to 2011-2012 Jordanina Protests? 214.13.69.132 (talk) 11:20, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Still ongoing?

I haven't seen any reports of major protests in Jordan since the November 2012 Jordanian protests. Is this really still ongoing? Mikael Häggström (talk) 07:20, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
