Undue weight to anti-semitism section edit

Currently 49.2% of the body text of this article is in the "Incidents regarding anti-Semitism and Zionist symbols" section. It makes no sense for half of the article to be devoted to discussion of specific controversies at two dyke marches. This is a clear case of undue weight. I would suggest that this section be cut down significantly and focus on the specific accusations and official responses, but without all the lengthy quotes and tweets. As it stands, the section is basically a quote farm. Kaldari (talk) 21:25, 2 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

You should go ahead and edit the section. Just make sure you provide an edit summary that lets other editors know the reason & purpose for your edit. Pyxis Solitary (yak). L not Q. 07:39, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Pyxis Solitary: I trimmed it down significantly. Please feel free to tweak it further if needed. Kaldari (talk) 14:31, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Dyke MarchDyke march – The term "dyke march" is clearly not a proper noun, and the article should therefore be moved to "Dyke march". The language of the article itself clearly demonstrates that it is not a proper noun: Before the concept of a "(d)yke (m)arch" came to be... (the word a indicates that is is a common noun); A (d)yke (m)arch is a lesbian visibility and protest march... (if it were a proper noun, the article would read The Dyke March is a lesbian visibility and protest march...); and so on. Thrakkx (talk) 00:05, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Lists of cities edit

The lead currently lists a ton of American cities; meanwhile, it omits many European cities. On a balance, I don't know that there's any reason to expect a comprehensive list in the lead, so I might consider trimming some of the random American cities and pointing readers to the body.
In the body, the list of German cities needs sourcing. (And perhaps we run into a similar question: is this article meant to list every city where a march has ever happened? I don't know. Maybe it is.)
Btw, for transparency: I mentioned this article here since I see similar general issues which could use looking-over / cleanup (not the city-lists, but weighting of different kinds of sources about/from a zoomed-out perspective vs news about X or Y then-current issue) and they don't seem to be the subject of active editing (the thread above about them is years old). -sche (talk) 15:36, 28 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
