15 February 2003 anti-war protests was one of the good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Should the article name refer to which war was protested, or that it was an international event? At present, the name seems to be lacking something as it is extremely vague. Harr o 5 08:12, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Beirut information seems to have been anonymously removed without comment. I suggest that someone re-check sources and either restore it or indicate here why it was removed. - Jmabel | Talk 04:50, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

This London Telegraph article supports the view that considerably more than 750,000 protesters turned out on that cold day. [2] SMB
If you look at allItalic text the listings where a police estimate is given, it invariably is below other estimates given for the same event. The supposed reason for this phenomena is that demonstrations by their very nature are anti-government policy and the police are defenders of that policy. Therefore, lowering the numbers creates an impression that is favourable to the gov. 46.7.85.68 ( talk) 14:21, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
In order to uphold the quality of
Wikipedia:Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the
GA criteria as part of the
GA project quality task force. While all the hard work that has gone into this article is appreciated, unfortunately, as of
January 4,
2008, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from
WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at
WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at
WP:GAR.
The biggest problem with this article is the prose; it simply does not flow. Once the initial summary is complete, there is little cohesion within and amongst sections, it quickly devolves into short groupings of facts passed off as paragraphs in most of the sections. Many of the Level 3 headings do not have enough information under them to sustain the headings and should be either expanded or merged into a more general heading. There are manual of style concerns; the biggest one is the lead, which does not satisfy the requirements laid out in
WP:LEAD as it does not adequately summarize the article in its entirety. In an article of this size, the lead should be far large and should cover every major point/heading made in the body of the article. In its current state, it is far too small and general to accomplish this. Furthermore, while the article has many citations, it does not have enough and there are several "citation needed" tags throughout the article, and many smaller paragraphs and even direct quotations (most noticeable in the final "Effect" section) that will require more referencing and in-line citations. Finally, as a minor but very noticeable point, Image:Feb15 Poster Amsterdam.jpg is floating in the ether of the article without an accompanying caption to place it in context. As these are the largest (but not all-encompassing) problems with the article, and as they are significant enough to require a substantial effort to repair, I am boldly delisting the article at this time.

Great article -- well done to all concerned! Rosa Lichtenstein ( talk) 15:28, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Apparently nothing happened in DC that day... Samstein ( talk) 20:49, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
I will have to locate citations, but I know there were fairly large protests in D.C. that day because I was there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.233.34.199 ( talk) 21:04, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
There's various parts here that read more like a personal account of the day, or a blog: e.g.
Paulbrock ( talk) 19:47, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Shouldn't the "polar" section be "Antarctica" to correspond with all the other section headers being continents? 121.92.103.243 ( talk) 07:52, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
The last sentence is a quote by a Hizb-ut-Tahrir member. I think this adds no value to the section or the piece as Hizb-ut-Tahrir's ultra Islamic views neither represent worldwide Muslim opinion or that in the UK, furthermore it fails to offer any substantial addition for the section, I propose its removal. -- 90.215.98.245 ( talk) 13:43, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
I added that sentence myself not because it is supposed to represent general views of any particular population but because it shows how a supposedly unsuccessful peace-protest can affect the mind of someone with extremist views. It was intended to back up (with a citation) the preceding two sentences. I leave the final decision in the hands of others with more experience though Weavehole ( talk) 09:14, 26 September 2010 (UTC)weavehole
