Minneapolis?

This article mentions Minneapolis. Did a protest take place? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:43, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Revert

@Jmaxfield18: Sorry, but I reverted your edits today. I am currently working to expand this article via prose, not table(s), much like Not My Presidents Day. If you have identified any cities missing from the current article, please share, but I'd prefer we not turn this into another list article. Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:30, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jmaxfield18: Thanks for your subsequent article improvements. On the off chance you're interested in helping to flesh out the article's prose, feel free to help out. Megalibrarygirl and I tag-teamed the Not My Presidents Day article, and this event is pretty similar. Essentially, I'm working to convert the lists of cities into prose, noting (if possible): 1) where protests took place, 2) how many people attended, 3) organizing groups, 4) other important details like event names, etc. For example, the Portland event was billed as a 'Not My President' protest and received an official response from the Oregon Republican Party, which I think is worth including. I invite you to review the Not My Presidents Day as a template. Thanks again, and happy editing! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:46, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Maps

I've started adding a couple of maps. I think I'll have to do each state/region, because this is a denser protest than the "Not My Presidents Day." What do you think Another Believer? Megalibrarygirl (talk) 01:36, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Megalibrarygirl, I love the maps, but I'm thinking we might wait to see which U.S. state subsections are kept, based on having enough detail to justify a standalone section. Also, I'm wondering if any regional maps are available, since this article is first separated by regions of the U.S. Don't let me stop you from adding more maps, if you want, but I'm still in the process of determining where protests were planned vs. where protests were held, fleshing out content state by state. --Another Believer _(Talk) 01:39, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Another Believer: I couldn't get the regional maps to work. I'm not sure if there's a way to use another kind of map as long as it's an svg file or not. That would be super. I was hoping actually, that if we can get regional maps to work then we could crib from the state maps and cut and past to the regionals. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 01:41, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Megalibrarygirl, Hmm, I just tried using File:USA Region West location map.svg, which is also categorized as a locator map, without success. Possible we wouldn't be able to distinguish city pins for regions, though, since even the California map has tight text. We might have to be selective about which states we illustrate. --Another Believer _(Talk) 01:46, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Another Believer I had the same problem. It threw out a Lua error. :( I started the maps since I haven't been able to find any photos. I agree that we might need to be selective. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:41, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
