I am returning the Commentary section since it is quite the norm to include. See for example the Reactions section of the [[Dakota Access Pipeline protests]] article. On the other hand, to include the lengthy quote from the march website is unusual and perhaps should be deleted or adjusted. Thoughts?

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --Vikkibaumler (talk) 19:43, 13 November 2016 (UTC) I will remove the citation to the NY Times article --but thought I was supposed to include it.[reply]

Secondly - this walk will be a historical event that should be captured on Wikipedia for historical reasons.I can remove the Facebook links if that's considered promotional.

How do I go about making those edits? Struggling to figure that out.

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --Vikkibaumler (talk) 20:00, 13 November 2016 (UTC) I removed the reference to the NY Times article (which I thought was only a citation) and removed the links to the Facebook event pages -which may have appeared to be promotional. I left the content simply recording what is to be an historic march in political history that deserves a page in Wikipedia for historical purposes.[reply]

@Vikkibaumler: The problem is that you have copied word for word an entire paragraph from the NY Times article that was previously linked to. Furthermore, this article contains negative WP:BLP material against Donald Trump without sourcing from reliable third-party sources. Also, there is the problem of Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, because this event hasn't happened yet. The WP:CSD nomination only has to do with the first concern though. With the removal of the promotional Facebook links, the promotional issue isn't really there anymore. I would suggest that you, as a new editor, take a look at some of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, so that you better understand the concerns that I am expressing here. Thanks, Gluons12 |☕ 20:18, 13 November 2016 (UTC).[reply]

NPOV dispute

OK, I've lost control of this article. While updating some of the details and logistics about the upcoming Women's March, the user Gandydancer didn't forget to load up the page with political propaganda. --Jbfair728 (talk) 21:26, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand...please explain. Gandydancer (talk) 22:57, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed the tag since I have no idea just what changes the editor expected. Gandydancer (talk) 16:40, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

News Reporting and Sources Added

Reporting from New York Times, The Guaurdian, Washington Post, and the group statement have been added to make it a reported article and NOT an essay. These edits should not be removed as they are authoritative and reporting.

Article should now be fine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Evergreensummer (talk • contribs) 15:42, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed this info:
"Trump has praised Planned Parenthood for providing birth control and paths to breast cancer screenings," the Washington Post reported. "But, he said, it should receive no federal dollars.'We're not going to allow, and we're not going to fund, as long as you have the abortion going on at Planned Parenthood,' Trump said. 'We understand that, and I've said it loud and clear.'"
"Trump told reporters he was pro-choice for years before changing his stance. His view on abortion now, based on recent interviews: The procedure should be provided only in cases of rape, incest and life-threatening pregnancies.That’s where Trump’s Planned Parenthood message hits a logical snare," the Washington Post reported. "Under federal law, not a penny of government money can be used to cover abortion — except in cases of rape, incest and life-threatening pregnancies. Planned Parenthood says it complies with that rule. It receives about $500 million annually from the government and would likely enter dire financial straits if that money dried up. Beyond birth control, the clinics also offer STD testing and treatment, sex education and preventative health care — the services Trump says he applauds."[16]
This article should be mainly about the march, not the abortion issue which this goes into a little too much for this article IMO. Gandydancer (talk) 16:38, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Long quote from website and Commentary section

I am returning the Commentary section since it is quite the norm to include. See for example the Reactions section of the Dakota Access Pipeline protests article. On the other hand, to include the lengthy quote from the march website is unusual and perhaps should be deleted or adjusted. Thoughts? Gandydancer (talk) 17:08, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Response: Looks Good! Agreed

This last edit looks good. It had news, facts, and clarifications. This *is* a political event and so the commentary is important. Looks good. Last edit good. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Evergreensummer (talk • contribs) 00:49, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I added author names to the news articles. In footnote 14, I was unable to fix the Guardian code problem, defined multiple times, etc. Can someone fix that? Other needed fixes: footnotes 10 and 15 are the same WaPo article. And footnotes 13 and 16 are the same Guardian article.Bjhillis (talk) 04:18, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I cleaned up the footnotes, fixed coding errors and formatting.Bjhillis (talk) 20:06, 29 December 2016 (UTC)][reply]

Added more news cites, cleaned up footnote coding, updated Facebook rsvp's. The page is functional now, and is ready for its founders to re-emerge and shepherd it. Hello @Jbfair728: and @Evergreensummer: and @Vikkibaumler:?Bjhillis (talk) 23:56, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

On the Wiki warning: "This article relies too much on references to primary sources"; 13 of 16 footnotes are to secondary sources, so the call out seems misplaced.Bjhillis (talk) 00:54, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
