Table is broken on wikipedia mobile app Tranman64 (talk) 04:46, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/07/03/us/george-floyd-protests-crowd-size.html estimates 15 million to 26 million from multiple sources--is this data applicable to the wiki?
"Nationwide" vs single events
[edit]The table is somewhat inconsistent in that it compares nationwide protest movements with numbers of participants aggregated over both place and time with single demonstration events. E. g. in the September 2019 climate strikes, "several cities had turnouts in the range of 100,000 and many more in the tens of thousands" according to "a preliminary analysis by The Times" (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/20/climate/global-climate-strike.html). Should the table be split into a part on movements and one on single demonstrations? --Sylbendrechsler (talk) 07:42, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
Can someone who is better at this add gulf war protests Jan 1991 nationwide 200,000-500,000 citations https://www.nytimes.com/1991/01/27/us/war-in-the-gulf-antiwar-rallies-day-of-protests-is-the-biggest-yet.html https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-01-20-mn-813-story.html any improvements would also be appreciated — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bbobbalou (talk • contribs) 16:53, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
Iraq war
[edit]where's the iraq war protests, other than the nyc ones? If George floyd can understandably organized into one, why can't the anti iraq war ones? THEREALhistoryandgames (talk) 19:15, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
March for Israel Attendance Numbers
[edit]The recent addition of the March for Israel attendance numbers provides no sourcing, though the Wikipedia page for the actual march says the attendance claims wildly varied, with media outlets reporting "tens of thousands" or "up to 100,000 people" and the event organizers claiming 200,000. It seems that the figure of 290,000 was stated by the CEO of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and that was the figure that was most commonly spread on social media, but I'm not sure why that is being taken as the official figure on this list compared to, say, a range that encompasses some or all of these estimates depending on reliability.
