The Nigerian citizens have suffered a lot in the hand of this SARS. Not to mention the way the carry out their cannibal duties, instead of protecting the citizens , they are there becoming a legal criminal themselves. So whatever is it that you been told is happening in Nigeria is true. The government now also have been and always will use the armed forces to disrupt the peaceful protest going. But you what ? , the people aren't going to back out.
But there aren't any if very few white cops in Nigeria. This doesn't happen right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 240D:1A:8AF:4D00:78A7:B7BA:2250:169E ( talk) 10:02, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
Is anyone fluent in other languages, it would be great to see this article reach other media through translation! 623mutaNadu ( talk) 16:30, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
Due to the current ongoing campaign and protests in Nigeria, the topics of the article is becoming controversial and attracting people who add unverifiable information and personal sentiments, defacing the credibility of the article. In order to prevent disruption, I am requesting temporary protection on this page. Thank you so much. Kabusa16 ( talk) 07:22, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

The decline is for temporary protection. Not "article for creation". Patrick 08068897507 ( talk) 17:32, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

I plan on adding contents on sustainable development organisations that have supported the protests either through advocacy or activities such as picking up trash after protests. I will go ahead with it on 16th, October 2020 by 10am if there is no objection. Thank you and I look forward to your guidance. Moshood Lasisi ( talk) 14:17, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

End SARS →
End SARS movement – End SARS is a movement, not an organization. Putting the title as End SARS will be confusing, as some people may be thinking it as ending the virus (COVID). Putting it as End SARS protests isn't a good title either, since the movement has been around for some time, and has only gained news attention recently. To be honest, this is just like the Black Lives Matter movement though less widespread. Furthermore, the first sentence says End Special Anti-Robbery Squad (End SARS) or #EndSARS is a decentralized social movement against police brutality in Nigeria.
Thus, I suggest changing the title to End SARS Movement. ~ Destroyeraa

The trend was tagged #endSARS to as this was also the primary request at protest ground, and as such the article should be titled as such... Davioseki ( talk) 08:36, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

I understand that these shadowy gun-toting, protester-shooting men are despicable, but "thugs" isn't the most academic word to describe them. Perhaps "paramilitary?" "Secret police?" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rankedo ( talk • contribs) 00:45, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi everybody!, I have this source about the U.S. reaction through Mike Pompeo. But I don't know where to add it. And I'm afraid of negative reaction from other users If I add it in the wrong place. Just to let editors of this article know. Thank you a lot. CoryGlee ( talk) 12:23, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
Hello Guys (Editors),
So I noticed nobody I've included how H.E.R used her platform to educate as well as spread the information on EndSARS.

Can someone make a userbox for End SARS, just like how we now have userboxes for Black Lives Matter? Greenwhitedino ( talk) 14:38, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
Can we remove this hatnote?
#EndSARS is used on social media, but the actual correct title would still be End SARS. Like how Black Lives Matter is the actual name, whereas #BlackLivesMatter is only the social hashtag. Greenwhitedino ( talk) 14:42, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
Sources 109, 110 and 111, used under the sub-section, 22 October, of the Timeline of events section are from Twitter. Is it appropriate to cite social media posts as references now? Bemmax ( talk) 04:28, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
Your answers would be gladly appreciated as I’m compiling a speech for my pageant debate. Thanks 😊 Elmovry ( talk) 13:01, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Might sound pedantic but the correct usage is #EndSARS (as shown in reliable sources and social media. The lead even correctly spells it). So why isn't this page at "EndSARS" instead? If nobody contests this, I'll be moving the page in at least an hour. — Python Drink ( talk) 18:19, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
