Talk:List of political rallies on the National Mall

Untitled
Since most rallies in DC occur on the Mall, it seems like there's a lot of overlap with List of protest marches on Washington, D.C.. Should the information here just be moved there? M Pinck (talk) 21:40, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

There should also be a lot of citation needed tags all over the numbers on these pages. Right off the top Million Mom March claims 750,000 people with 200,000 sympathy marchs. There are no sources for these numbers here or on their respective pages. So that number is just bad data. 99.16.81.38 (talk) 19:33, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Seriously. These numbers appear to have been pulled out of the air. How about providing a range of estimates from the lowest to the highest on each event's individual page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.118.53.78 (talk) 01:31, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Why is the Rally to Restore Honor's size listed as the largest estimate rather than the scientific analysis number (which is used for the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.250.85.65 (talk) 13:13, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia unfortunately limits its self to reported numbers. The Numbers of people who were actually at Restoring Honor were never reported by the Mainstream Media. But here is some food for thought. The crowds were about equally dense at "Restoring Honor" and "Restoring Sanity and/or Fear" the physical area the crowd was covering at RSaoF was about 1/4 to 1/5 the area covered by attendees of Restoring Honor. So basic math and assuming the number for RSaoF is accurate then the crowd for RH had to have been at least 860,000 people. You can maybe take out 60,000 for the space of the reflecting pool its self if you want to find every reasonable way possible to thin the numbers. If you want to be generous that number can easily be as high as 1,075,000 either way it is a new record for attendees at a rally on the National Mall based on this chart and the methods usually used for calculating crowds.75.42.22.53 (talk) 22:40, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
