Poorly executed

[edit]

This article is generally poorly executed. A {{split}} tag was inserted into the larger List of Occupy movement protest locations in the United States by the same editor who created this article. I'll note that I split that article off of the wider List of Occupy movement protest locations that was far too large. This editor failed to copy the sources for this and apparently doesn't understand the structure of inserting this material back in. To accomplish this properly will take some work, which I'll probably start doing. But I'm not certain we have any method to do a split within a table. And the editor failed to initiate any discussion either here nor on the master article.

I agree the United States article is still too large. This would be good to do a split, if it works. But how to make it function? Other editors designed the table. I have expressed its design alone is too cumbersome, as evidenced by the fact that this editor and many other editors have not even figured out the three tier referencing system. Perhaps we need to solve that issue before spitting the article up.

And the lede. 1000 protesters? Come on, I've seen many more than that just in Oakland on TV. I will remove that outrageously inaccurate number in my next edit. Trackinfo (talk) 22:16, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Costs

[edit]

I removed the costs column. See this version of the article. The costs column was not discussed first, and I don't think costs merit a separate column. Costs info should go in the notes column. We could have separate columns for arrests, date when protests ended, and much more. There is not enough room because then the notes column starts wordwrapping to 2 lines. Set your screen resolution to 1024 by 768 (a common setting for 17 inch-or-less monitors and laptops) and increase your font size. Then you will see the problem. Too many cities then take more than one line. --Timeshifter (talk) 07:06, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
