Removing bot false positive
editA bot registered a false positive of this page after a mirror site called questpedia.org posted the same information on it's page. I have removed the bot's tag from the page and posted on both my talk page and the bot's talk pages requesting admin support.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 16:05, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
- Confirmed, the Questpedia site mirrored this page by its own admission: "Content of this web page is sourced from wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Burundian_protests ). The Content of original page has not been modified." Impressive the speed at which these mirrors are created. Thanks for the article! CrowCaw 23:11, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
Propose moving to "unrest" following military divisions and fighting
editThe BBC uses the term "unrest" to describe the situation, and I think it's appropriate with factions in the military vying for power. -- Aronzak (talk) 06:41, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
- I'm moving this article - multiple reports of gun battles is not a protest but an ongoing attempted coup. The coup is only a continuation of the protests, so it makes sense to call it "unrest" as most of the media does - (eg guardian BBC) -- Aronzak (talk) 14:12, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
Constitutional referendum
editHave there been more protests about the constitutional referendum? The article may need to be updated. --Jamez42 (talk) 16:55, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
Shall we close this?
editThis article is currently entitled "Burundian unrest (2015–present)". The repression is still very much ongoing, but the "unrest" itself has really been over for some time. Shall we declare the period closed? The problem is exactly when the protests ended: the general consensus in online news sources appears to be that the unrest did not stretch beyond 2015. Comments welcome though. —Brigade Piron (talk) 18:30, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
- There is some controversy here. Some sources, especially HRW, consider that the "crisis" (= the repression) continued into 2017 but no sources mention it later than that. I suggest, as a compromise, closing the period in 2018 with the government's victory in the 2018 Burundian constitutional referendum as a moment that marked the ultimate defeat of the protesters? Either way, it should be closed now as "(2015)" or "(2015-2018)". —Brigade Piron (talk) 10:34, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
- Based on the lack of interest here, I have gone ahead and moved it to "(2015-18)". —Brigade Piron (talk) 11:51, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

End date
editThe infobox says that the unrest ended in January 2020, but the article fails to provide any source corroborating that. Gorgedweller (talk) 09:33, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
