Photos from Times Square

[edit]

I took some photos at a rally in Times Square, NYC, yesterday and just uploaded them. I've added one to the gallery, albeit hesitantly given how large that gallery is growing. Figured I'd put a notice here with a few examples and defer to the judgment of others.

81 countries?

[edit]

The infobox claims "81 countries" worldwide but I don't see this referenced in the article text anywhere. Does anyone have a good source for this claim? --N8 23:59, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[[2]], :[[3]], [[4]] and [[5]] Shadow4dark (talk) 05:57, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @Shadow4dark. I read through all four of those links and I'm still not seeing the number of countries this article claims. Each of these references claims something like "countries around the world". Somehow the number 81 seems to have been pulled out of thin air. When I counted the number of countries actually named in this article I came up short as well. I'm not suggesting 81 is necessarily wrong - that could be correct or even lower than the actual number. It just doesn't appear to match the article or come from a WP:RS that has made the count. ...at least as far as I can currently tell. --N8 13:25, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(Updated with English news source) February 28 Anti-Russian protests across Korea

[edit]

Hello, I have an edit and update request. I have found some interesting news articles about Korean citizens protesting against the Russian invasion, some of which has lead to arrests. Could you please add this information in Section 2? Please let Ukraine know they have our hearts and support here in Korea. Thank you!

UPDATE: FOUND A NEWS SOURCE IN ENGLISH: Link[1]

The following day on February 28th a group representing 400 Korean civic organizations staged a protest outside the Russian Embassy in Seoul saying "Russia's invasion is a violation of sovereignty and an indisputable pre-emptive attack" ("러시아의 침공은 주권 침해이자 명백한 선제 공격") and demanded an "immediate stop to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and withdrawal of troops" ("러시아의 우크라이나 침공 당장 중단 및 병력 철수") along with demands for Russia to abide by the 1994 Budapest Memorandum as well as strongly criticizing "the military-industrial complex and fossil fuel companies that have encouraged and merely spectated wars while providing the background which has allowed Russia's war criminal government to maintain its politcal power and military vigor to start wars." (“러시아 전쟁 범죄 정권에 정치적 권력을 유지하게 해 주고 전쟁을 일으킬 수 있는 군사력의 바탕을 마련해 전쟁을 조장하고 방관하는 군수산업, 화석연료 기업들을 강력 규탄한다”) The group insisted "already too many people [in Ukraine] have died, been injured, or had to say goodbye to their loved ones" ("이미 너무 많은 사람이 죽었고, 다쳤고, 사랑하는 사람과 이별했다") and "young peoeple full of dreams have been forced to confront swarms of charging tanks." ("꿈 많던 젊은이들 몰려오는 탱크를 저지하고") The protesting civic groups handed their written demands for an immediate end to the invasion in both Korean and Russian languages to the Russian Embassy.[2]

In a separate anti-war protest in Busan on that same day, a Korean protestor tried to forcibly enter the Russian Consulate General as part of agitated demonstrations. When arrested by police the protestor claimed he was trying to "deliver objecting ideas to the war that Russia has started" (“러시아가 일으킨 전쟁에 대해 반대의사를 전달하기 위해 러시아총영사관을 찾았다”) and that he would "visit [the Russian Consulate] again" (“다시 방문하겠다”) to repeat his attempt later. Police in Busan issued a statement saying that due to the increasing frequency and rising possibility of confrontation from protestors, safety patrols around the Russian Consulate General will be increased to once per hour.[1]— Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.99.95.163 (talk • contribs) 20:45, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Name Change from Protests against the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine to Protests during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine

I think they should have a Name Change from Protests against the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine to Protests during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine that way we could also add the Pro Russian protests.

Merger proposal

[edit]
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
Closing this per WP:SNOW. There is no consensus to merge the articles. I'm closing this as an involved editor (due to my vote below). After I left my vote I saw that a merge discussion had already taken place on the other article's talk page (2022 anti-war protests in Russia#Merge into Protests against the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine) just two weeks ago (the "Discuss" link of the merge tag was pointing to the other talk page, not to here). That discussion only saw opposition to a merge and was snow-closed. Meanwhile both articles have grown to a size which would make a merge also technically prohibitive. Therefore I am reflecting the other thread's result to this sub-thread as well. (non-admin closure) --Matthiaspaul (talk) 19:59, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I propose merging 2022 anti-war protests in Russia into this page. This article is not large, and at the same time, a lot of Russia-specific information is there rather than in 2022 anti-war protests in Russia, and having two separate articles for protests in Russia and protests in general may be confusing. --HPfan4 (talk) 04:13, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong oppose. I think it is good that we have an article dedicated to protests in Russia. For various but obvious reasons this is quite a different topic from the protests outside Russia, and having them both discussed in one article will "water" them both. Also, while having two articles will create some amount of redundancy, these articles are way too large to be merged already, and they will continue to grow considerably. Once the war will be over there won't be very much new to say about the protests outside of Russia (except for, perhaps, the Ukrainian perspective), whereas the anti-war protests inside Russia will, regardless of the outcome of the war, become a subject of international historical research for decades (as it happened in many similar cases), so more contents for this sub-topic will emerge over the decades. "Protests against the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine" is currently at 132 KB, whereas its sub-topic "2022 anti-war protests in Russia" has even reached 156 KB. At this size, they are both subject for further splitting into identifiable sub-topics rather than merging (no, I'm not proposing this right now, but it may be already time to start thinking about which further sub-topics could be split out into separate articles once the article size has reached unbearable limits in a couple of weeks or months).

Either remove the image associated with a protest in Almaty, Kazakhstan or replace it with an accurate image. The current image has a memorial to Anna Politkovskya written in Polish, which most definitely does not exist in Almaty. The image can be replaced with either thumb taken by me, or by using the images from https://orda.kz/miting-v-podderzhku-ukrainy-prohodit-v-almaty/ , https://vlast.kz/novosti/49018-v-almaty-prohodit-massovyj-miting-v-podderzku-ukrainy.html , https://mediazona.ca/news/2022/03/06/protest , copyright permitting.

Where can we add the infamous pro-Russia nationalist rallies?

[edit]

There are two notable rallies led by Russian nationalists in Ireland (with the Z symbol at convoys) and in Germany (where it is outnumbered by pro-Ukraine protesters). The organisers claimed that it is against "Russophobia", but many of the participants also chanted nationalist slogans and support for Putin.

Where should we add these incidents? In a separate section, a separate article, or the "anti-Russian sentiment" section?

@DinoSoupCanada: your request is not nonsensical, I'm sorry for that (please understand that a lot of people post edit requests that are solely disruptive and senseless; and at first sight your request very much looked like it was too). However, your request is evidently driven by political sentimentality, so to say, and not a desire to build an encyclopaedia. Secondly, the referenced section appears sufficiently illustrated.
