Some points I can add to this article are:
 * Why are people protesting?
 * What are the identities of the protestors? Are they low-income? Working class?
 * Had there already been tension prior to the protests? If so, what kind of tension and between who?
 * Are there May Day protests every year?
 * What made the 2012 May Day protest different from the years prior or after?
 * Why is the protest called May Day?Mmoua (talk) 05:40, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Comments/Suggestions: - Good start on the introductory paragraph under "History". The first sentence in the following paragraph you can do without, it serves more as a filler than actual substance. - Under the United States section, it would be cool to see some stats or figures such as estimated attendance, number of protests estimated to have occurred. - Instead of having a section specifically for Asia, perhaps having it focus on other countries in the U.S., unless you wnt to focus on a specific region. - An image of a May Day Protest would help tie the intro together. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Veronica93 (talk • contribs) 17:32, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
