Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear
Hi there. Please stop adding this information to the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear article. Current consensus is that we should only include the most credible estimate, which is 80,000 people; this article is not the place for discussing estimates of the Restoring Honor Rally attendance (see WP:COATRACK). Be advised that you are currently edit warring over the subject, and one more revert will violate the three-revert rule. If you believe this content still should be added, please discuss it at Talk:Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear first. Thanks, Mildly MadTC 15:30, 7 November 2010 (UTC)


 * You have violated 3RR and can be blocked. Here is information you need to be aware of. The aerial photography method is the only crowd size estimate method that comes close to being accurate, and here it is:


 * The attendance of the rally is disputed, as various media outlets have reported numbers ranging from 80,000 to 1.6 million. According to aerial photography analysis by AirPhotosLive.com for CBS News, the crowd size was estimated at 87,000, plus or minus 9,000; in comparison, their estimate for the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear was 215,000 people, plus or minus 10%.


 * Here's a photo that shows both events. The wooded areas hold lots of people, and both events had people in those areas. Three experts examined the air photos independently of each other for both events. It's the most scientific estimation there is.


 * The methodology for counting is shown in these two images: image with grid, grid with numbers. This is from another Tea Party rally.
