Spammy
This article is filled with spammy phrases and in places is simply a puff piece. I tagged it as such, but the tag was wrongly removed by an editor who says that the advert tag can't be added by an anon. Let me tell you now, TruthMonkey: it bloody well can be. Don't remove it again without sorting the article's terrible tone. I'm going to Pride this year as I usually do, but if I want corporate spiel I'll go to Pride's website. If I want neutral facts, I *should* be able to come to Wikipedia for it. 80.176.233.6 (talk) 16:41, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

If you believe the article is not NPOV then it would be in the spirit of Wikipedia to make (even brief suggestions) here as to why to help editors improve it. Articles about events can be difficult to to find a NPOV but this article does contain a lot of cited material so should not be condemed wholesale. Truthmonkey (talk) 11:11, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Numbers 2017
Official numbers on the march are 40,000. Why does the article refer to a million "visitors"? If not on the march, how are they supposed to be involved? Streona (talk) 02:29, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

2018 contents
What material regarding the 2018 event should be included? After some edit warring, I've reverted to a version before During the 2018 Pride London, a dozen of people carrying transphobic slogans took the lead of the demonstration without authorization. These people claimed that transgender activism contributes to lesbian erasure. They were quickly criticized by numerous LGBT+ organizations. The organizers of Pride London were criticized as well, for not having taken any measures to remove those trans-exclusionary activists from the march. was added. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 18:01, 11 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Good question. I think, an other good question could be "if it should be included, then how". I admit my phrasings might not be the most neutral in the world; even though I have strong anti-TERF convictions, there must be a way to describe what happened in a neutral, factual way, in the interest of the encyclopedia.

 * As a user under an IP address made a short addition about the London Pride, I take the liberty to notify you, in order to know what to do next, and how to write about that event if we should (though I think we should). In other words, it's an invitation to talk :) KiwiNeko14 (Meow) 12:19, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

 * I think the wording that power~enwiki reproduced above was good. Or at least a good start. Anybody who believes that wording is unfair to TERFs has had over a week to raise objections here but they have not so I'll go ahead and reinstate it. --ChiveFungi (talk) 18:14, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Johnson
On July 2, removed the statement that The former Mayor of London, Boris Johnson has been a vocal supporter of Pride in London. with edit summary "Removed irrelevant info". Earlier today it was added back by with the edit summary of "Undid revision 904547014 by Uk55 (talk) Sockpuppet of blocked user." I am re-removing the material because as a statement on the views and actions of a prominent politician it should not be present in the article without being supported by reliable, independent, secondary sources. Currently there is no source for the statement, and Johnson's views are not mentioned elsewhere in the body of the article. Secondly, I see no reason to believe the IP editor's statement about Uk55, who is a long-term, if recently mostly inactive, user. Accusations of sockpuppetry, if they are to be made, should be made at WP:SPI and not obliquely in edit summaries. Wham2001 (talk) 20:08, 19 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Edits from sockpuppets can be reverted per WP:BMB. Uk55 is an obvious sock of Bhtpbank. You are, of course, perfectly entitled to reinstate the edit (and take responsibility for it). Revisiting the statement, I do concur with your reasoning. 109.152.208.48 (talk) 17:34, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

It's one of the challenges with this article. It reflects a long history of events organised by different people, in different places, supported or paid for by different people, under one banner. The Johnson bit had been chopped about over the years of edits and has only become relevant perhaps now he's PM. I don't think the endorsement or otherwise of any former Mayor is that important. --DavidTTTaylor (talk) 20:05, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

"Lesbian erasure protest controversy"
The subsection currently titled as this has previously flicked between this and "anti-transgender protest controversy." I think the "anti-transgender" wording is preferred, as it is clearly the focus of the source material. It calls the protesters first and foremost "anti-trans protesters" and most of the article is dedicated to discussing their relationship with transgender issues. The term "lesbian erasure" appears only in the headline, as an editorial shortcut for the aspects of lesbian discourse covered in the article. Awoma (talk) 08:27, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
