Can anyone provide a reliable, independent source for the claim that Rebel gathered more than 20 million signatures? I don't doubt that many people would have signed, but the figure is simply unbelievable, no to say outright impossible. It means more than 40.000 signatures per hour. Such an endevour requires a vast and perfectly run organization, which conflicts with the description of Rebel given in the article (founded just a couple of months ago, unpaid volunteers, not many...). Have anyone contrasted this with, I don't know, some independent verification of some sort. After all, if this was going to be used politically, there must have been some mechanism for validation. I don't care about the politics of the thing, my interest is "maths in news"...
Real weird. Some 25 million voted in the presidential election last year. What Rebel wants us to believe is that people is keener to participate in a petition than in the actual election of the president. It simply doesn't add up. And then, if the 25 million who are minimally active in politics 21 million signed, who voted for Mursi?
Basically, the article references events promised in the future that have already passed. The military stepped and basically fulfilled the movement's demands, but the article does not reflect this. I changed the tense in some places and marked this as a current event, and also noted that the military thing had happened, but I don't want to go to far into updating the content because I am not all that familiar with what is going on. I think though, that what is ongoing should generally be somewhat reflected, maybe. anamedperson ( talk) 19:20, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Since the Muslim Brotherhood protests were broken up by the Egyptian government, I have noticed a number of mainstream news sources mention that Tamarod members and their citizen committees have been accused of harassing foreigners, men with beards and women with headscarves in addition to acts of violence against Morsi supporters. The volume of articles mentioning that is surprising, and it really ought to be included, in addition to any sort of response the movement might have to such accusations.
