Title
I preferred the Women's March on Seattle with the call-out to Womxn's March. Unless someone can share a few sources and convince me differently. Jaldous1 (talk) 18:20, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Answering my own question. I see both, so added that in. Jaldous1 (talk) 18:25, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I think we usually say "styled as" for uncommon or deliberate misspellings. Example: Ignite (game engine) not IGNITE. But the WP:COMMONNAME guideline is concise: "Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it generally prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources." The article title here should be exactly what is the most common usage in the media now. - Brianhe (talk) 18:30, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * So, you're advocating for the title "Women's March on Seattle"? I think this would be best, since "Womxn's" is a stylization. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 19:12, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, I should have said that I prefer the original title, Women's March on Seattle. Ghit counting is not the end-all but we do have these results that support it.


 * Women's March on Seattle 56,500
 * Women's March in Seattle 36,700 and I think many of these are just a phrase not the actual title of the event
 * Womxn's March on Seattle 18,000
 * The 'x' in the name doesn't seem to belong in the WP title. - Brianhe (talk) 19:23, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * So, shall we move back to "Women's March on Seattle"? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 19:26, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Just adding one other thought. There might be a WP:ACCESSIBILITY issue with screen readers, and definitely a searchability issue with the spelling including the spurious 'x'. - Brianhe (talk) 19:52, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm for returning it to "Women's March on Seattle". (And I despise the Wikipedia-specific phrase "stylized as" &mdash; it seems contrived and seems like a cop-out for people who worship marketing over English.  "Also spelled as" or something?) --Closeapple (talk) 15:45, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I moved the page back to Women's March on Seattle. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:18, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'm in agreement with this!Jaldous1 (talk) 01:02, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

"Other Pacific Northwest marches"
Shouldn't this information belong on one of the parent Women's March articles, and not the Seattle-specific article? Let's keep this page on topic. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:20, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Probably so; there was only Seattle and a D.C. specific article when I started this one. - Brianhe (talk) 18:16, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I like seeing regional inclusion here. I would expect them to also be on the D.C. article.Jaldous1 (talk) 01:04, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I haven't found a mention of it in media--but I know someone who saw an event in Issaquah. If anyone comes across a reference it would be great to include. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaldous1 (talk • contribs) 01:07, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Maybe these folks who chartered buses from Issaquah to Judkins ? - Brianhe (talk) 05:25, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
