Picture?

[edit]

This article needs a picture. Perhaps a non-copyrighted picture from Flickr or a similar website? Thanks. Vis-a-visconti (talk) 04:04, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to use the picture at: https://staging.airflowsciences.com/rkn/Holyland/20AmmanDemonstration0.jpg The quality isn't high, but I own the copyright. This is a picture of the protest in Nassar Circle that I took on 24 March 2011. By March 25th, things were tense enough that I didn't want to risk the security people seeing me with a camera.

Infobox proposal

[edit]

The purpose of an infobox is to accurately summarize an article so the reader doesn't have to read through the whole article to get the main facts.

Take a look at these three versions of the infobox. The exact text can be changed; don't focus on that. Which format best summarizes the content of the article for the readers? Note that 1 & 3 are similar, but 1 removes the "Lead figures" and "Parties", etc sections. ~ Justin Ormont (talk) 19:50, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict or protests

[edit]

Is there a civil conflict in Jordan like Libya or Yemen? If this is not true, why do we have "Parties to the civil conflict" in the main box? Kavas (talk) 16:10, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As they are sparadic and somewhat small, at least since March, they're protests.Ericl (talk) 13:42, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Date of beginning protests?

[edit]

The infobox says the protests began on January 7, but I can't find sources that cite protests beginning earlier than the 14th. If we can't find sources to back up the January 7 date, we should be listing something else. I'd be happy to change it to the 14th, as indicated in other sources. See revisions to "protests" section.

Protests ongoing

[edit]

Although overshadowed by news from Syria, there are still protests going on in Jordan. Should this page name be changed to 2011-2012 Jordanina Protests? 214.13.69.132 (talk) 11:20, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Still ongoing?

[edit]

I haven't seen any reports of major protests in Jordan since the November 2012 Jordanian protests. Is this really still ongoing? Mikael Häggström (talk) 07:20, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
