Since a neutrality tag was placed, I started a section for concerns with neutrality in the article. Since information with this article is fairly new, the article may evolve into neutrality over a period of time. Please share any concerns below.-- ZiaLater ( talk) 22:54, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
The article's header states that "In March 2015, a series of protests occurred in Brazil against corruption and denouncing the government of President Dilma Rousseff.". It should be changed in order to also contemplate the many pro-government manifestations that occurred on March 13 in various Brazilian cities, as well as smaller ones that happened on the same day of the protests (March 15), such as the pro-government "Coxinhaço" that took place in Porto Alegre. — capmo ( talk) 04:59, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
Zia, you removed reliably sourced content from Reuters with the rationale that the 1,000,000 number is from one city. That is not true, as the 1st sentence of the article says, "Close to a million demonstrators marched in cities and towns across Brazil on Sunday." Then again it says "Estimates for the size of the crowds differed, but most calculations suggested roughly a million protesters nationwide." The Sao Paulo reference is just an acknowledgement of the state police's individual claim, not an endorsement of it, as is made obvious by the two quotes passages, especially the second one which indicates a consensus.  Mbinebri talk ↠12:10, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
