Any RS supported text?

Hi, I made an OR-free NPOV caption for your photo and left the original at Wikimedia alone, though I encourage you to fix that up too. What would really be a help is if you can find RS sources that report on the alleged protest on April 4 at Collect Pond, and write a sentence or two of text for the article.

There might be some source confirming this, but it's a fact so bland and mundane to mention how people were sorted that I'm not confident there is one. The pro-Trump protesters were on the south side of the park, which was bisected east-to-west with barriers, and the anti-Trump protesters were on the north side. Is your concern more so that you don't want to label everyone pictured in the image as pro-Trump? That there were pro-Trump flags and MAGA hats makes me feel like we should point that out in the caption. SWinxy (talk) 19:12, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

If you can't find RSs reporting on the event then your original photos and your original opinion about what they represent do not belong anywhere in the project, sorry. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 19:52, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

It's not an opinion to say there are pro-Trump flags and supporters in this photo. Does the photo in this section of Trumpism require a citation that those photographed are pro-Trump supporters? What's the line here? Do I need a citation to say that people are present here, or that this is even at Collect Pond Park? This line you're drawing for the caption, applied to all images on the project, would do away with thousands of captions that neutrally describe what the contents of photos are by requiring a citation for any statement.

That's why we have some editors dedicated to clean up tasks. But there's a huge backlog of junk to be dealt with. Meanwhile, see WP:IMAGEOR.... If you want to constructively try to form a consensus for acceptable use, suggest you try the WP:ORN. If you can win a consensus there, I won't stand int he way, though I'll offer my comments in any such discussion. please ping me if you try out that or other WP:Dispute resolution venue.
