Sources at Families Belong Together
Hello, Jmaxfield18. GREAT WORK! Keep improving this page.

I just want to advise you to stop using these two sources:
 * http://revcom.us/a/549/June30-marches-against-government-detention-and-separation-of-immigrant-families-en.html
 * https://twitter.com/i/moments/1012403221879500805

They are too closely associated with the movement and should be considered Primary Sources. Instead, use them as a guide and search for Secondary Sources (which are considered more reliable on Wikipedia). Also, you only need maybe one or two sources per city. Pick the best and forget the rest. Cheers.

Links to draft articles
Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Template:Protests against Trump footer. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 09:57, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

 * @NoahDavid771: this was an unfortunate creation. This series of articles relies heavily on self-published social media sources, which are not reliable to support the assertions in the article. Now we'll need to remove hundreds of those in each article. I hope you can assist with the cleanup. Elizium23 (talk) 04:48, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

List of March for Our Lives locations (2022) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, List of March for Our Lives locations (2022), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.  scope_creep Talk  12:41, 28 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Okay... I built this page in the same manner as List of 2022 Women's March locations, which (so far) is past draft stage. Planned Parenthood and March for Our Lives both put up respective maps of event locations, with tentative details per event page. I always keep records of these event pages, with exact tags; certain types of event pages (e.g. Facebook) still remain with details on display after the event has happened, while others lose their information; all the same, putting links to these pages on Wikipedia is half the effort, be it before, during or after the day of action.  There are also public spreadsheets with crowd estimates and various sources to back up reported tallies after events have taken place.  It should come as no surprise that half of them are tweets, not just from average citizens but also elected officials and political candidates for office, with personal photo and video documentation to boot.  Any information from primary sources should be about planning only.  As crowd sizes in various cities tend to diminish in comparison with previous years, I believe most reported (and often countable) tallies as given and corroborated by various sources should be taken with a grain of salt.  Can you further define the scope of "reliable, independent sources?" Jmaxfield18 (talk) 16:10, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
 * This looks like quite a lot of effort, thank you for the article!
 * Not scope creep, but I assume the issue was in fact with the significant number of tweets, regardless of whether they're by political figures or not. If something can't be sourced other than by a tweet, it should be removed. See WP:TWEET for the relevant policy. Rusalkii  (talk) 20:55, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
 * @Jmaxfield18, I would give you a final warning about self-published sources. You cannot use Tweets, or other social media, by participants or non-journalists. You cannot use them to support facts about attendance at events, or to support claims about third parties. You cannot use self-published sources when they are unduly self-serving. Please see WP:SPS and WP:BLPSPS. Elizium23 (talk) 04:28, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
