On 5 July 2021, it was proposed that this article be moved from Yellow vests movement to Yellow vests protests. The result of the discussion was moved.

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 .... -_-

Why is Jacobin used as a source?

Like, seriously? I thought there was standards to credible sourcing. Taco098541 (talk) 17:56, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline

The timeline was in two pages at the same time, therefore I changed the second page with a redirect: https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Timeline_of_the_yellow_vests_movement&diff=1032087587&oldid=1016821132

It seems the text was put back in this article by Ionmars10 : https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Yellow_vests_movement&diff=922876138&oldid=922541747

To me, one article is sufficient, but it is in any case one or the other, not both.

Yellow vests movement → Yellow vests protests – This article is (mainly) about the protests, a "movement" is something very broad and is not the (main) subject of this article. Delfield (talk) 13:19, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

French yellow vest are not anti-immigration

By the way, we had a variety of political sides both let and right. In some countries there were anti-immigration protests, but no of the sources given here seem to make believe yellow vest are a mostly, or a vastly, anti-immigration protest.

"populist" in the introduction part

Why do the authors of this article engage in such obvious, biased framing? Stay neutral and objective.
