Keep an eye on changing the article to a coup should there be some changes. Its RAPIDLY evolving now and Campaore is out of the country. Lihaas ( talk) 18:56, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
It seems that this page's creator, Lihaas, would like to not only categorize the protests as an uprising but categorize the people who are protesting as "rioters". This appears to be racist since we all know that sterotypes about wild and savage African go back a long way. More importantly, there simply aren't sources backing this up and the vast majority of new coverage is not jumping to sensationalize these protests and neither should Wikipedia editors. Revert Racism. Monopoly31121993 ( talk) 23:49, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
"Riot" seems fine to me. It's not being used as a slur. It's just a plain description of what happened. Everyking ( talk) 01:29, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
There needs more of the initial porotests as right now we have nothing beyond it...and there were protests beyond the capital. Lihaas ( talk) 02:25, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
Sources are asserting 3 days old = 28 start date. Per AGF [1] [2]
2014 Burkinabé uprising as the Burkina Faso page had multiple demonyms that are all excepted (and the election pages use this one), kindly discuss moves. In the interim, stay with the original, as is standard dispute practice.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Burkinab%C3%A8_protests has one, this page the other.
The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 05:13, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
Hi It is a revolution because the President resigned after protests. -- Panam2014 ( talk) 15:16, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
@ Fitzcarmalan and Lihaas:In Romania, the PM resigned, not the President. -- Panam2014 ( talk) 19:39, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
That's all a side issue though. At the moment there isn't a settled term used among uninvolved sources, and in the absence of a settled term "uprising" seems appropriate – the people rose up against the president, he resigned, but the longer term outcome is not clear. Certainly better than coup, which this page was previously titled as. For what it's worth I'm coming around to the view that this should be described as a revolution, but to do so before the majority of sources do so would not be in line with NPOV. — WFC— FL wishlist 13:39, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Now it is clear that Compaore has not fled to Senegal. If he flees, it seems that he flees to Ghana, not Senegal. So the information on the front Wikipedia page is clearly WRONG! Can somebody fix it? Olegwiki ( talk) 20:22, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
Adding Senegal to the text and the infobox and then removing it and then readding it,Let me make it clear for you then. This back and forth did not have to happen. I removed Senegal before from the text and the caption but then you readded it three times. Apart from edit-warring it makes Wikipedia editors look sloppy to the outside world. All this time that Senegal was on the article and readers saw it, damaged the credibility of the project. Δρ.Κ. λόγος πράξις 22:11, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
If you followed the dfiscussion you can trace we were figuring out the sources asserting whaere he may be.That's irrelevant. You should not have added Senegal again into the article until you made absolutely sure that he did go to Senegal. That's just due editorial diligence. But instead you readded Senegal three different times after it was removed by two different editors. Apart from careless editing this is edit-warring. Conclusion: Controversial statements should not be added during a rapidly changing event and edit-warring them into the article, just to discover that it was the wrong information which was being added, is not good editorial practice. Δρ.Κ. λόγος πράξις 22:37, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
French and Russian needed in the international relations/reactionssection please? Lihaas ( talk) 23:20, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
Lihaas, I'd really appreciate if you could stop undoing the edit on Compaoré's brother's name. The man's name is François. "François Compaoré" yields 180 000 results on google, "Frances Compaoré" only 80, several of which lead either to copies of this very page or unrelated subjects. "Francis Compaoré" gives 335 results, for the record. Sources for "François" include international media like BBC and Radio France Internationale, regional media like Nigerian Tribune, domestic media like Le Faso, and many books on the subject of Burkina Faso. Stamboliyski ( talk) 22:37, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
In the constitution of Burkina Faso, residents are called Burkinabè.
