Total participation inaccurate
The total number of marchers seems to be inaccurate. FiveThirtyEight estimates that 3.2 million marched in the United States alone (http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-long-march-ahead-for-democrats/), while two professors have a substantially higher estimate: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/1xa0iLqYKz8x9Yc_rfhtmSOJQ2EGgeUVjvV4A8LsIaxY/htmlview?sle=true#gid=0

New article on Women Disobey
Would appreciate any assistance in building this new related page on protests today that led to 575 arrests in Washington. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 03:59, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
POV edits reverted
I have reverted a number of POV and poorly-sourced additions to this article. For example, one of the inclusions is cited to RT, a Russian government propaganda network, another is a synthesized interpretation of a person's tweets, and the claim about "Holocaust deniers" is entirely unsupported by anything in the cited source.

Should probably just adapt a whole Criticism section. Since the topic is the criticism, and accusations of Anti-Semitism, POV is not a concern. That said, you can remove the bits about Sarsour but the details about Donna Hylton and Backpage are wholly relevant, not POV, and contribute to the paragraph at hand with sources that are strong enough for other Wikipedia articles. Velostodon (talk) 17:10, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
- None of those individual details is important enough for the lede, IMO, and we don't include every single possible criticism per WP:DUE. The Hylton section has no reliable secondary source commenting on it; it's not enough for you to synthesize something out of someone's past. A single marginal "RealClearPolitics" post does not merit inclusion in the lede. Please discuss your controversial additions and gain consensus for them per the bold, revert, discuss cycle. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 17:16, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
That some people think some people in the march are anti-Semitic does not warrant inclusion on a POV neutral page. The people insisting that that be in the header do not have a encyclopedic frame of reference. Louis Farrakhan reference is explicitly a race baiting talking point, especially since he's not mentioned anywhere later in the article. Looking at the history there seems to be a revert war with the paragraph I deleted. Possible we might need to lock page to prevent vandalism. Or maybe the people who are genuinely concerned with the muslim brotherhood army of atheist white women, should write a POV neutral criticism section.
