@Phoebe: would you make St. Paul red like Minneapolis? Needs to happen in order for either to show red.

We could do both - my original thought was showing multi-day protests too. Either way - just need to gather the data.

@Phoebe:: It seems allright but I would prefer the red be used for rallies more than 5,000 instead of multiday. Is there maybe a way to have multiple maps, one for each day?

@Kire1975: - red for big rallies (and then a different color for the Twin Cities, or a flag or something) is fine with me too. However, we need a list. What about switching work to this: Template:George_Floyd_protests_timeline - so once it's reasonably complete it can go back in the article and we'll have a data source for size of rally, as right now I don't have a complete list of >1000 or >5000. -- phoebe / (talk to me) 18:24, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-06-01T18:24:00.000Z","author":"Phoebe","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Phoebe-2020-06-01T18:24:00.000Z-Kire1975-2020-06-01T18:18:00.000Z","replies":["c-Kire1975-2020-06-01T18:43:00.000Z-Phoebe-2020-06-01T18:24:00.000Z"]}}-->

@Phoebe:: he list is fine, but can it be foldable or on another page? The main article is huge now. Takes so long to submit changes the edits have conflicts while i'm waiting more often than not.

@Phoebe: - For stability: it'll be fine well into the thousands of cities, though it might get angry if the formatting changes. (And: page edits will keep getting bigger!) The (very shoddy) code can be seen by removing /show from the jsfiddle link.

Renumbering currently works as follows: Take all the lines. Number them such that the “index” is bigger when the latitude is bigger. Then take those numbered rows and sort them alphabetically by the city name (putting the indexes out of order).

Thanks! I guess I meant - start from the beginning about the renumbering, like *how* do you take all the lines and number them? It's not very transparent.

Oh, there are some regular expressions in the code that match the currently used format of one-line-per-city to extract data from each line, then apply the transformations I mentioned.

In terms of editability, Lua modules would probably help: they could allow for lines as simple as <!-- Berlin --> |wikidata9=Q64|size9=thousands Mouthpity (talk) 18:47, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-06-01T18:47:00.000Z","author":"Mouthpity","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Mouthpity-2020-06-01T18:47:00.000Z-Phoebe-2020-06-01T18:40:00.000Z","replies":["c-Mouthpity-2020-06-01T21:58:00.000Z-Mouthpity-2020-06-01T18:47:00.000Z","c-Phoebe-2020-06-02T01:37:00.000Z-Mouthpity-2020-06-01T18:47:00.000Z","c-Mouthpity-2020-06-02T03:19:00.000Z-Mouthpity-2020-06-01T18:47:00.000Z","c-Phoebe-2020-06-02T05:12:00.000Z-Mouthpity-2020-06-01T18:47:00.000Z","c-Mouthpity-2020-06-02T07:18:00.000Z-Mouthpity-2020-06-01T18:47:00.000Z"]}}-->

@Mouthpity: Tell me more? I like how it looks but I'm not immediately understanding how the editing works. The great thing about a straight table is you can edit it with visual editor and it's pretty straightforward.

@Phoebe: Yep, if the visual editor is easiest to handle for now, definitely stick to it. That being said, ideally there would be no cases where we have an entry in the map that's not in the table & vice versa. Given that, it seems making them both rely on the same data would be very good. With that lua module I whipped up, you can define a city with |wikidata-{id}=Q999 ({id} is an arbitrary identifier for the city, it's not picky.) and then add protest dates with sizes and references using |size-{id}-{date}=1000; |ref-{id}-{date}=<ref>{cite web...}</ref>. The map could pull from this and shade/size the markers according to the number of dates, maximum protest size, etc. Mouthpity (talk) 03:19, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-06-02T03:19:00.000Z","author":"Mouthpity","type":"comment","level":6,"id":"c-Mouthpity-2020-06-02T03:19:00.000Z-Mouthpity-2020-06-01T18:47:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

• I agree with Phoebe that the template should not get any more complex than it is. It is thriving due to contributions of ordinary users, some of whom are even finding difficulty following the existing instructions.

as best as I can tell with testing from User:Phoebe/George_Floyd_protest_table and user:phoebe/map test - if we add non lower-us48 cities, they won't show up in the map as displayed, but WILL show up if you click on the map/make it full size.

WaPo:

In another expression of solidarity with American protesters, about 150 people marched through central Jerusalem on Saturday to protest the shooting death by Israeli police of an unarmed, autistic Palestinian man earlier in the day.

972mag: (reporting about Tel Aviv)

The demonstrators held signs that read “Palestinian Lives Matter” and “Justice for Iyad, Justice for George,” in reference to George Floyd, an unarmed black man who was killed last week in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after a white policer officer pinned him to the ground by his neck.

Most of the markers within the US point to what is recognized as a city, town, township, village, CDP, or equivalent; if there are protests in two of these, then they are listed separately, even if they are in the same metro area. However, there are a few exceptions:

• Each borough of NYC is listed separately. (There was an attempt to list each neighborhood separately, but I decided against it)
• Champaign–Urbana is listed once, even though it is two separate cities.
• "Cape Cod" is listed, even though it isn't a city or town, but a region (and a county, but under a different name).

There have been several attempts (including by me) to include the NYC neighborhoods. I think it is a good idea because the city is huge, and even within the boroughs there are MANY MANY dozens of protests. Including these is representative of the number of protests. It is not fair that a protest in a small city of 5000 in Iowa gets the same treatment as dozens of protests in Manhattan. I made a map of these locations in George Floyd protests in New York City, and I believe they should be included in the main map. Wondering what the consensus is.

@Mouthpity, Phoebe, Ɱ, and Kire1975: in an attempt to simplify the syntax and make it easier to add new pins (without the need to renumber) I created Template:George Floyd protests map/sandbox which uses Module:Mapframe/simple. have a look at the source for Template:George Floyd protests map/sandbox to see how much easier it is to add a new entry, and no need for renumbering. the way that the submodule works is that it preprocesses the entries, and sorts the pins before passing them to Module:Mapframe. the pin sorting feature could almost certainly be added to Module:Mapframe, so I imagine this submodule may be sort lived (especially if there is an efficiency/overhead issue). any missing entries in the delimited entry lists default the default value at the top. I picked the same ordering used in the current template, but we could change the default ordering, or make that an option. comments, suggestions?

So it looks like the map is too large and that's causing problems. Its seems like there's a loop hole in the size rules, where if you stuff from the Commons data namespace it doesn't count towards size. So maybe we should do that. downside is then data is at another wiki, and I'm not sure how fast edits to it actually update. Anyways, it would look like:

Other way to display

and would have to be edited at commons:Data:George_Floyd_protests.map. As you can see from the resource usage report, this section of the talk page takes 0 bytes of post-expand size (although that'd be different if in a template, it will still be very small) and 0 seconds of lua, which are the resources in short supply on the article.

I just copied the version of the template at the time (Direct copied and pasted from &action=raw&templates=expand). AFAIK, commons doesn't support any fancy lua stuff for this, so it has to use raw syntax. Unless, its decided to actually switch over, i think the commons version should probably be considered a proof-of-concept, and we re-copy it over from the last version of the template, once/if we finally decide to switch.

Makes sense. I suppose the Commons version is difficult for average users to contribute to. Shame it lacks that Wikipedia function, though Wikipedia somehow lacks Commons' data storage capability?

The reason that I added state and country codes was for cities with the same name. The reason I did it for all cities was in case we needed to add a new city, and it would be easier to tell if that city was already there.

There have been multiple attempts to add neighborhoods of New York City and San Diego.

Neighborhoods are reported in reliable sources. The U.S. Census Bureau is an arbitrary choice.

Cities also occur on the boundaries of cities, so what? If a protest with a 100+ people marched were at one place at 2 o'clock and march to another by 4 o'clock, they both have had protests with 100+ people in them and both should get a marker on the map.

How is the U.S. Census Bureau arbitrary? It is the best consistent nationwide standard, and every city has different neighborhood definitions.

It's completely arbitrary. The reliable sources are reporting the protests with numbers where they are happening. Period. Why do you have a problem with that? Los Angeles is 500 square miles. San Diego is 374 square miles. New York city is 302 square miles.

Protest sizes are still highly variable, even if neighborhoods are included. For example, Kahului had 150 protestors, while Reykjavík had more than 3,000 protestors; however, both places have had only one major protest, and therefore could only be represented by one marker.

One thing to be aware of is that eg for LA, Boston and similar cities, there are dozens of protests happening in the greater metropolitan area, which may or may not be the same city (EG Boston & Cambridge are two cities, but may be reported both as 'greater Boston').

Also, even if we agree that NYC neighborhoods should be listed separately, how do we determine whether or not other cities should have neighborhoods listed?

By contrast, Fremont, California has an official neighborhood map with 29 neighborhoods; as a Fremont resident, I can tell you that everybody is aware of where major neighborhoods are, but nobody identifies as being "from their neighborhood", and there are no noticeable cultural distinctions between neighborhoods.

We haven't determined that neighborhoods, CDPs, parks or bridges shouldn't be listed separately. Protests with 100 plus people in them reported in reliable sources is the criteria.

Most news sources about protests give the exact location, so we could theoretically divide it up further than neighborhoods, into census tracts. But we don't, because census tracts are simply too numerous. Also, if you look at San Jose, California on Google Maps, you will see many tiny neighborhoods, the smallest with only a few dozen residents. The point is that people who are not from a city are far less familiar with neighborhoods, and so it would help if we didn't include them, and instead used another way to indicate the magnitude of protests, such as marker size or the title. --Numberguy6 (talk) 22:18, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-06-14T22:18:00.000Z","author":"Numberguy6","type":"comment","level":8,"id":"c-Numberguy6-2020-06-14T22:18:00.000Z-Kire1975-2020-06-14T21:10:00.000Z","replies":["c-Kire1975-2020-06-14T23:24:00.000Z-Numberguy6-2020-06-14T22:18:00.000Z"]}}-->

This discussion was started when you deleted dozens of neighborhoods from the map for no legitimate reason. Then you reverted an editor who gave reasons for his edit: "Omitting these protests is not representative of the vast number of protests occuring in New York City". You claim you wanted to discuss the matter on the talk page but you don't acknowledge Ravimdholakia's reasons or anybody else's. You're holding onto the idea that this map is about cities not protests. You demand that we accept that markers be allowed only on cities recognized first by the U.S. Census Bureau and then by the UN but you don't provide a link to where these agencies recognize these standards. You disregard other people's requests for explanations. You disregard other people's explanations. You reject community input. You delete reliably sourced material. You don't accept that neighborhoods are recognized by Wikipedia (see PS below). You're driving away productive editors. Why should we put any effort into adding markers onto the map when you are going to arbitrarily deletely massive reams of data for your own arbitrary reasons. Asking "why is it arbitrary" is not a defense to being arbitrary. The burden is upon you to prove that it isn't arbitrary and you have disregarded that question multiple times. Look, people are dying at these rallies. They're putting their lives on the line. They shouldn't be represented on the map because the U.S. Census Bureau is more authoritative than Wikipedia and otherwise reliable sources?

Also, I never said that reliable sources weren't reliable; the issue wasn't over "Did a protest happen there?", but over "Should the location be considered a full-fledged location for the purposes of this map, or is it already covered by another location?" Also, you said that I don't respond to any community input. That is wrong; I initially opposed all neighborhood inclusion, but then I changed my view to support including neighborhoods that were part of cities that had official neighborhood maps. --Numberguy6 (talk) 22:30, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-06-15T22:30:00.000Z","author":"Numberguy6","type":"comment","level":11,"id":"c-Numberguy6-2020-06-15T22:30:00.000Z-Numberguy6-2020-06-14T23:43:00.000Z","replies":["c-Kire1975-2020-06-15T22:47:00.000Z-Numberguy6-2020-06-15T22:30:00.000Z"]}}-->

Again. You DO NOT have the authority to exclude protests as long as a reliable source reports them having 100+ members in them. Whether they be in neighborhoods, parks, bridges, piers, intersections in the middle of nowhere. You DO NOT get to decide what "official" means in any way.

Here is my full proposal for the definition of "location" that encompasses the entire world, not just the United States:

• The location's borders must be clearly and officially defined by either a UN member state or an entity that is recognized by a UN member state.
• The location may not have a sub-location within it. (e.g. US counties don't count)
• The location must have a name as opposed to just a number (e.g. US Census Tracts don't count)

Here are my thoughts:

• Numberguy6, I realize you may be trying to standardize this whole process in a way that makes the most sense to you, but in all honesty it is frustrating and frankly overbearing and disruptive. This is a group effort. From reading the rest of these posts you should realize that you are not in the majority, I'm sorry.

• Now, for definitions of neighborhoods: I believe that as long as a record exists of a 100+ participant protest, and the location doesn't exist already, it deserves to be on the map. Most neighborhoods are very well defined. I'd suggest maybe looking on Google maps; in most cases it will outline the borders of the neighborhood in red. I know this is true for most NYC neighborhoods. City parks, where many of these protests occur, are also well-defined.

• In addition, we should absolutely add San Francisco, San Diego, Chicago, Los Angeles neighborhoods if there is ample documentation.

What are your proposed criteria for inclusion? NYC has never published an official neighborhood map. Also, Google Maps is not a good authority, because in Manhattan alone, there are multiple examples of overlapping neighborhoods (Hell's Kitchen & the Garment District), neighborhoods without borders (West Harlem), and areas without neighborhoods (the area in between the Flatiron District and Koreatown). --Numberguy6 (talk) 16:46, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-06-15T16:46:00.000Z","author":"Numberguy6","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Numberguy6-2020-06-15T16:46:00.000Z-Ravimdholakia-2020-06-15T13:56:00.000Z","replies":["c-Kire1975-2020-06-15T22:11:00.000Z-Numberguy6-2020-06-15T16:46:00.000Z"]}}-->

There are generally accepted borders of NYC neighborhoods (I've lived in NYC most of my life), and I'd refer you to a really fascinating map made by someone (I can't figure out who) on google maps^[1]. The creator acknowledges that a few neighborhoods are subsections of others, but I doubt that it would create too much of a problem for the map. It's not an exact science, but we should do the best we can while monitoring the map for obvious abuse. The page on manhattan neighborhoods gives a pretty good explanation on neighborhood borders, but I believe that most people who are adding NYC neighborhoods will know the basic boundaries. In addition, Streeteasy^[2] and RentHop^[3] (NYC-based websites to find apartments), as well as the generalized map of regions of the city for the NYC Department of City Planning^[4] have very similar maps. - Ravimdholakia (talk) 19:09, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-06-15T19:09:00.000Z","author":"Ravimdholakia","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Ravimdholakia-2020-06-15T19:09:00.000Z-Ravimdholakia-2020-06-15T13:56:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Hi folks. This incident in Bethel, Ohio was a protest of 80 to 100 BLM protesters so it doesn't warrant a spot on the map, but when 700 counter-protesters showed up the number went well over the requirement. I think it belongs on the map because the counter-protesters wouldn't have been there if it wasn't a protest in the first place, but it's possibly a technicality so I will ask for consensus here first.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Kire1975 (talk • contribs)

With this edit, I'm blanking Cohelmsford from the map because there doesn't appear to be any such town name in the world, the jurisdiction filter says GB-ENG, the coordinates are in Germany and also because the town is not listed in George Floyd protests in the United Kingdom, George Floyd protests in Germany or anywhere else really.

This was discussed above (#Using commons Data namespace), but wasn't done at the time. It's been several months since then and changes have slowed considerably, so I've moved the map data to Commons to solve the performance issues. Template documentation is updated, but to summarize: to edit the map data, this file on Commons must be changed: commons:Data:George Floyd protests.map. It's unfortunately a bit more annoying to edit than this template was, but it can still be done (in source mode, just follow the existing structure to add a new point).

There is one additional wrinkle: most articles like George Floyd protests in California are using a version of the map filtered to include points only within a particular region. This was previously done with Lua, so we only had to maintain one list, but there's no way I can find to do that with the Commons-based map data. So, instead, there is an additional version of the map for each jurisdiction, controlled by the |jurisdiction= parameter. For example, |jurisdiction=California uses commons:Data:George Floyd protests/California.map instead. So if you're adding a new point, you'll need to edit both maps. Sorry about this.

I've created jurisdiction maps for every instance where |jurisdiction_filter= was being used before: see the full list.

Hi Kire1975, I've added Tijuana in this edit. I understand your frustration with editing the map data. I'm not sure if we have a good beginner tutorial for this stuff; it took me a while to figure it out when I first set it up. At mw:Help:Map Data and GeoJSON you can find some general info about how map data is stored on Commons, but I'm not sure this will be very helpful. I will try to give a walkthrough. Basically to add a point you have to add a new block of text to the page at Commons like this:

            {
                "type": "Feature",
                "geometry": {
                    "coordinates": [
                        LONGITUDE,
                        LATITUDE
                    ],
                    "type": "Point"
                },
                "properties": {
                    "marker-size": "small",
                    "marker-color": "5E74F3",
                    "title": "NAME OF CITY",
                    "marker-symbol": "city"
                }
            },

This can be added near the top of the page, right after the line that looks like "features": [ (currently line 12).

Then you can fill in the LONGITUDE, LATITUDE, and NAME OF CITY fields. Nothing else needs to be changed. The longitude and latitude should be given as decimal numbers which can be found by clicking on the coordinates in the city's article. For example, from Tijuana, above the infobox there is a link to GeoHack which has the coordinates (-117.03 and 32.53, rounded to two decimal places) at the top right. — The Earwig (talk) 05:07, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2022-02-18T05:07:00.000Z","author":"The Earwig","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-The_Earwig-2022-02-18T05:07:00.000Z-Kire1975-2022-02-17T03:45:00.000Z","replies":["c-Kire1975-2022-03-09T23:01:00.000Z-The_Earwig-2022-02-18T05:07:00.000Z"],"displayName":"The\u00a0Earwig"}}-->
