How was the number of attendees determined? How do we know that 200k is not an exxageration? Know Thyself 00:30, 15 November 2023 (UTC) — Preceding

Same way we know anything here: we use trusted third-party citations. As more reports come through, let's add them to the page. I think the language should explain that organizers estimated 290,000; the estimate ahead of time was 60,000; the day-of estimate was 200,000. As with any other page, this entry is not a place for
original research. --

It is absolutely relevant, and including the allegedly high (and all evidence suggests massively inflated) attendance quoted by the organizers themselves, without even mentioning this detail to at the very least contextualize the claims, is intentionally misleading, irresponsible, and unethical.

There's also no criticism in the leads of articles for various 9/11 memorial events, civil rights rallies, or really most such demonstrations. This is typical, and the correct way for such an article to be. --

There are definitely a lot of sources critical (or noting criticism) of John Hagee's attendance, so this should be mentioned. I think there's a lot of fluff in that section though.

I added some more stuff, and focused it more on Hagee. Given how widespread the criticism was, I think criticism from major orgs like CAIR is more noteworthy than op-eds in The Nation for example.

I noticed in the
National March on Washington article, the participants number includes "(estimated)" beside it. The same should be done here, no? In both cases the only source for the attendees are the estimations of the organizations involved in the planning process. I can't edit it myself, so I'm hoping someone else would be willing to do so.
