Greece?

Nothing has happened in Greece. Somebody has confused this with the December 2008 riots. 79.103.201.194 (talk) 21:51, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would e-mail the BBC and tell them that they're misinformed... --candlewicke 23:03, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The BBC has lost its integrity a very long time ago mate. Quote from its "brilliantly written" article [1] :"Greek police battled to quell rioters in Athens after banks were attacked." That's it. One sentence! The article is actually about Turkey and Germany (have you read it? please think before you comment). Remember me when you realise how the BBC really works. 79.103.201.194 (talk) 13:45, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Too funny to change?

"Several hundred protesters dispersed authorities with rocks in the Şişli central district." - this goes a bit beyond what the source says, but this is just hilarious ;) Wnt (talk) 22:15, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wording

Wouldn't it be better to replace the section heading "By Country" with "By State" because Hong Kong is definitely not a country, and the status of Taiwan is heavily disputed? Mimson (talk) 23:21, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced claims

A lot of the claims in the article point to the "Worldwide May Day rallies" article but that article doesn't contain information backing those claims. In particular, the Tokyo rally and the Austria rally aren't mentioned at all. --Killing Vector (talk) 02:01, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
