Talk:2024 pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses

Request to include OSU Undergraduate Student Government scandal in Controversies/Administrative Response section
I request we add this to the 'Controversies/Administrative Response' section of this article:

On March 25, 2024, Ohio State University's Undergraduate Student Government (USG) proposed an initiative urging OSU to divest from companies profiting from human rights violations. The initiative received 1247 signatures, surpassing the required 1000. However, USG's Judicial Panel nullified it, citing invalid signatures allegedly due to petition dissemination on Instagram. OSU Students for Justice in Palestine claimed unfair targeting, alleging other candidates used similar methods without penalty. Leaked emails revealed pressure from Hillel International to veto the initiative, prompting accusations of "abuse of power" and leading to resignations of three USG justices.

Request to add sniper photograph to 'Police response' section
I request this photograph is added as a reference for the "long-ranged firearms" part of the 'police response' section in the article. This is a photograph of the sniper at The Ohio State University mentioned in the article.

 * a reference? or do you mean used as a photo in the article? User:Sawerchessread (talk) 02:57, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I would primarily like to use this photo in the article.
 * As a secondary addition, we could theoretically link the photo in the form of a citation (such that clicking would redirect you to this photo's location in the article) right after the sentence:
 * "According to student newspaper The Lantern, state troopers with 'long-range firearms' were deployed at Ohio State University."
 * But I'm not too hellbent on making sure the link is added since those are pretty difficult to implement in my experience.

 * I personally think that this photograph seems relevant to add to the context of this article, but what is the source for it? It needs to be reliable. David A (talk) 03:32, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I personally took this photograph at the event. I can send an email releasing copyright perms to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org if you believe this is necessary.

 * I just sent the copyright email to VRT!

Requesting assistance editing Ohio State University protest article.
I recently created a related article detailing the college protests at Ohio State University. After this article was made extended-protected, I lost my ability to edit the article because I do not have EP permissions. Substantial details are missing from this article, so until I regain my permissions, I have been adding suggestions to the talk page of this article. But no one has been implementing my suggestions on the talk page, despite the fact they are supported by multiple sources and add significant missing details from the article.

If members of this community could please visit the talk page of this article and implement my requested changes, this would be deeply appreciated. Thank you!

Intro is not correct
The protests did not start with mass arrests at Columbia. It started on October 7 in support of Hamas (with chants like “resistance is justified when people are occupied”). Encampments on college campuses started at Columbia in response to a congressional hearing to address antisemitism on college campuses in the wake of the October 7 massacre (several months after the massacre). The intro is incorrect and very misleading. 153.176.57.145 (talk) 11:07, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
