Table of protests

I added to the table info on whether the rallies were sanctioned or not, which is sourced to reliable sources. An IP started an edit-warring [1] removing that. The argument of the IP is that if we have further protests they will be added up to this table but the future rallies may be sanctioned or not, and thus the column becomes redundant. My argument is that adding up the number of participants at different rallies is (i) original research (ii) makes no sense since there is a big overlap of participants between the rallies.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:01, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I was the one who added that entire table in the first place and filled most of it out. Look at the table at Euromaidan. That is where I took the format from. That whole crisis had numerous protests but that table is a list of cities and their peak attendance, which is why I included peak attendance and date rows. That table was never meant to be one that only shows protests of a single day, it was meant to show a list of cities and their protests of most numbered people. If at the next protest, 40,000 people will be in Moscow, then the number will be replaced with 40,000. It's completely redundant to include every single day of protesting, especially if this will be a lengthy issue. Plus you were the one who added that information without any sort of discussion, so don't only blame me for edit warring. You were the one who kept pushing for your addition to remain in place despite the fact that not everyone agreed with it. Plus the column was and still is barely filled out. You're inserting information that barely hold any information. --2607:FEA8:559F:FD61:C9E8:749D:6483:C35A (talk) 21:38, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Euromaidan was a continuous action. In this case, the peak attendance makes sense. 2017 Russian protests is not a continuous action.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:37, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Very likely that there will be more protests. More protests are planned to be held this Sunday and possibly the next. --2607:FEA8:559F:FD61:C9E8:749D:6483:C35A (talk) 13:12, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but they will not be continuous. There will be March 26 protests and April 2 protests. I do not see any reason to put them to the same table. It is a completely different story from the Euromaidan, where people brought tents and lived there.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:50, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is absolutely no evidence that the protests will stop after April 2. There had already been some plans made for April 9. --2607:FEA8:559F:FD61:C9E8:749D:6483:C35A (talk) 15:57, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I did not say they are going to stop after April 2. It is not relevant for my argument.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:08, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You said that there are March 26 protests and April 2 protests. There will most likely be protests after that. If it's not relevent to your argument then explain yourself. --2607:FEA8:559F:FD61:C9E8:749D:6483:C35A (talk) 16:22, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
