PRINCIPAL PICTURE

What the fuck is this first picture ? It does not look like a protestation but like carnival. Come on do a little effort and chose a better one .... -_-

You can't just choose apicture. It must be free of copyright to be here or the copyright owner must agree to it.

I was perplexed to read about the various causes of the movement. From the Australian media one got the impression that only the pension and work week issues were the reasons. But then again, we have 70% of Murdoch coverage here. `2001:8003:A070:7F00:7827:6FFF:3452:80AC (talk) 05:06, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Roman numerals

... are just a bad idea in general and make the section names less readable. There's also no explanation here why these are being referred to as "acts" instead of "weeks" in the first place – the French-language article at least mentions that the protests have been titled as numbered "acts". WP Ludicer (talk) 08:34, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Add the 11th death in table

In the deaths and injuries chapter, the table should be updated to include the 11th fatality. Which is a 52-year-old demonstrator who had a heart attack during a rally.[1] I am unable to add one in as I don't know how. 49.195.45.133 (talk) 02:53, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Russian influence

This should be documented. Here is a place to start. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 21:30, 12 May 2024 (UTC).[reply]

-Are these protests still going on? Is there any coverage of them in the news? I have searched but haven’t come across anything. When will an end date be added and how will one be chosen? [[User:314WPlay|314WPlay]] ([[User talk:314WPlay|talk]]) 18:37, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
-:Hopefully a reliable source will eventually say that the protests petered out by X date. The French article says (without sources) that the protests basically stopped when COVID-19 started, with only sporadic activity after that.
