can someone explain what Town and Gown has to do with riots? its linked on the bottom. JoshDinger 00:40, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
I removed the Town and Gown link. It seem irrelavent. Does anyone disagree?-- Blackmage337 20:04, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
There were famous riots in Oxford twixt students and townsfolk in the 16th And 17th centuries. This is probably part of what that referred to. Jatrius ( talk) 13:51, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
How were the Cronulla riots not mostly or even entirely racially motivated? This needs to be expanded and explained, or the reference removed.-- JackSlack 23:52, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
"The police typically use non-lethal weapons" I think this is highly inaccurate as in many cases the use of so-called non-lethal weapons has resulted in fatalities of rioters or people involved even in a non violent demonstration (march etc) (i think rubber bullets are not strictly non-lethal!). Eg during protests demonstrations and riots against the 1968 Olympic Games of Mexico more than 200 people were killed in Mexico City alone(Tlatelolco Massacre), this cannot be considered collateral damage. I don't think it's about each one's political view, riots do occur due to social disaccord, opression and poverty, so the article indeed needs to be expanded.
why does "counter-demonstration" link here? if nobody objects I will create a section under the main Demonstration article and change the redirect to there, tho mentioning that clashes between demonstrators and counter-demonstrators are often the cause of riots. -- Black Butterfly 20:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Have re-written large parts of the article. Some things to bear in mind:
I have re-written large parts of the intro in accordance with the first two points, and removed part of the list of riots with regard to the last (have retained the section but removed most entries - please don't read anything into what entries were removed and which were kept, it was largely random).
Hopefully this should go some way towards improving the status of this article. -- Black Butterfly 20:07, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
I think this article could do with short descriptions of a few notable riots, maybe comprising a paragraph or two. Separate sections by locality seems a little like overkill. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mohanchous ( talk • contribs) 13:01, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
In the list of riot classifications i missed the IMF riots, typically caused around the world by price hikes in food and/or power. Just like the soccer riots mentioned these have a common cause and could earn a separate mention. Note that the french revolution started with the like. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.178.81.252 ( talk) 01:12, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
An editor has proposed that Student riot be merged here. Beeblbrox ( talk) 20:03, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
I am not sure if being a stub is a reason for merger. I suggest for the article to be expanded, not merged! -- SasiSasi ( talk) 21:00, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
There are already a lot of articles relating to riots, hence its probably best if this article summarises and refers to the other relevant main articles. The region/country section should not be just a list of riots (then it becomes a list of notable riots), but a summary/overview (more like the US section, less like the Asia section right now). -- SasiSasi ( talk) 10:08, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Why in category off topic. riot is of great importance in most societys, when it does occur. Kesaloma ( talk) 13:17, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
This is an important topic that I'm sure has been covered extensively by social psychologists and the like. Desperately in need of a section on Causes. One suggestion - don't just use modern social psychology, also use reasons from other traditions, maybe at least in some historical context, like what have been the explanations for rioting before, and how was it prevented and such...

I'm surprised that there's no mention of riot as a criminal offence. All societies throughout history have had riotous behaviour, but the 19th century definition of riot as a specific offence has led to our modern concept of a riot and rioting. Gymnophoria ( talk) 17:47, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
