Request title change to include the word "college"[edit]

I suggest that the title be renamed "2024 pro-Palestinian protests on university and college campuses." This new title would be more inclusive, and it may also be easier to find using search engines. Collegemeltdown2 (talk) 13:43, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please look up the word College and understand the differing meanings between the U.S. and the rest of the world. CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 23:00, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What's your point? Collegemeltdown2 (talk) 00:46, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
College doesn't mean universities most of the time, the term in the U.S. is different to the rest of the world, so the title would be inaccurate. It mainly describes further and secondary education. CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 09:01, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was thinking about people using search engines. Adding the word "college" could increase the number who find the article. Collegemeltdown2 (talk) 20:28, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Counter protests[edit]

Should there be mention of counter-protests, like this one at the University of Mississippi? [1]https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/06/university-of-mississippi-palestine-counter-protest-investigation Collegemeltdown2 (talk) 15:10, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know, now that I've established the Impacts section, it's on my radar to include a counter-protests section as is very much due. If you you could provide any more RS it'd be much appreciated. CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 23:07, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here's another story about right wing counter protesters and right-wing activists infiltrating the pro-Palestinian side. [2]https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/10/college-campus-protests-far-right Collegemeltdown2 (talk) 20:55, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add citation need after the protest "led by anti-Zionist groups"[edit]

As the title suggest, the framing of the pro-palestine protestors as anti-zionist is misleading and there are no secondary sources supporting that's was the reason for the protestors 212.29.194.49 (talk) 17:39, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

References 11 and 12 both have quotes to support the label EvergreenFir (talk) 17:48, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The headline of 9 sources disagree with it and labeled them as "pro-palestine", not ant-zionist, this is clearly not how the protestors wish to be labeled and in face a "white wash" label of the protest. 212.29.194.49 (talk) 18:07, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is why in the lead it says "led by", elaborated in the body, not that the protests are inherently anit-Zionist, see discussion here: Anti-Zionist in first sentence. CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 01:53, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Images of arrests?[edit]

Are there any images in Wikimedia that show campus arrests that could be included? I thought this Time article was outstanding in terms of photojournalism. https://time.com/6975991/campus-protests-student-photojournalists-cover-story/ --Collegemeltdown2 (talk) 16:18, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why was "student protest" removed from see also section?[edit]

Why was the student protest link removed from see also section? The US already has such a myopic understanding of the situation in terms of time and space. The media can only go back to Columbia University 1968, if that, to make comparisons. Collegemeltdown2 (talk) 16:21, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't remove this from the article but we typically only include articles in a "See also" section if they're not already included in the body of the article. Student protest is linked in the body of the article. ElKevbo (talk) 22:30, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So how do readers make connections between the present and the relevant past if it relies only on the memories of those who are living? Collegemeltdown2 (talk) 23:47, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 10 May 2024[edit]

In the Violence against protesters section, add kettling 4.39.220.106 (talk) 19:16, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Faculty Encampment at New School[edit]

Worth including in this article? [3]https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/10/nyregion/new-school-faculty-protest-encampment.html Collegemeltdown2 (talk) 18:24, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
