== Article size split ==
*''' Support split '''- To follow up on ], since there is consensus to split, I suggest reducing the "Reactions", "Impact", "Local media coverage", "Police misconduct", "Online confrontations", "Background", "History" as well as the "Clashes between protesters and counter-protesters" sections to ONE paragraph each, and having the rest covered in the sub articles. Obviously, I am open to suggestions. --] (]) 18:34, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

* Why are we having this discussion every other month... Reducing the sections to ONE paragraph is an absurd idea. For instance, the article for ] has way more than just six paragraphs.

If you want to be more impactful for this ], dude........can you even do it like 400 words at least in lead? It is way too long as a summary article that people has lost interest to read it.

::And for people in forum . Please create account. DONT use sock. I will submit anyone to ]. Learn to cite newspaper especially wiki widely acceptable source eg. WSJ, FT, The Economist, NYT. Some western media may be bad, some pro-Beijing newspaper may be bad (e.g. HKEJ), but it is necessary evil to use them. (unless they are discussed in ] to not use them) Buy book or borrow it from public library and drop down points (or scanner? pirating the whole book is not recommended btw), even they are published by ], again necessary evil. (Of course on apolitical topic as the company is the mouthpiece of Central Gov) or check the author. I read a book that literally challenged the works by 劉智鵬. You can only add the version that other author rebutting 劉智鵬, or add both versions in articles, as it is harder for wiki editors to act as a professional to judge which version of geo history is right. But some are really common sense that you can easily reject and don't need to mention in wiki article. Also, use talk page more often, please leave discussion of HK topic in ] page. Misplaced Pages is not that accepting the reasoning of we have discussed off-site and don't show the discussion to the public. I.e. Telegram group and discord. You can gossip there but "serious" matter such as which news articles should be used should leave it on wiki article talk page. ] (]) 02:00, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

:::No, I am not comparing the protests to the war itself. What I am trying to say is that I have never seen an article documenting history that has one paragraph per session.

== October 2021: Lead ==

The lead was recently changed unilaterally by ] as if the article was moved, and as such it no longer conforms to ]. I do not see any real opposition though aside from myself and I am uninterested in a discussion between just me and them. I think the discussion regarding the title of this article should be revived, and my thoughts are as follows:
* A source using the term "2019–2020 Hong Kong protests" or "2019–2021 Hong Kong protests" is not sufficient justification for its inclusion in the lead. The goal is to ] (i.e. avoid, "The 2019–2021 Hong Kong protests are a series of demonstrations since 15 March 2019{{nbsp}}...")
* This article is about the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement and the aftermath of its suppression. This article does not cover any protests or demonstrations that occurred in 2021, only the subsequent crackdown. The that uses the term "2019–2021 Hong Kong protests" makes the same mistake.

:The title "Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement" is kind of a common name in Cantonese, but not really in English.

== Protesters violence ==
While the article has a section about Police misconduct, it is missing a section about Protesters violence. The "Radical group" subsection is created only for violent tactics, and it's not a good place for adding acts of violence which are not part of a tactic.
The violence of the protesters is a reality and the topic deserves to be mentioned in the article. At this moment, ] is presented like being part of the event and the article tries to hide the fact that she was killed by a protester, while describing in detail whatever the government and police did wrong. At this moment, protester violence is presented as a somehow heroic tactics of resistance against oppression, tactics that include violence.

There was an article from Time that noted US funding of various initiatives associated with the protests. (The article's ostensible topic is the freezing of these funds by the Trump administration.) Some excerpts:
:: There is no need for a separate section when these events are mentioned elsewhere in the article. Nor is wanting to specifically highlight "protesters violence" a great reason for creating a separate, redundant subsection. ''']''' (]) 09:21, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
* The freeze affected several contracts—estimated by two sources with knowledge of them to be worth around $2 million—that would have directly benefited the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong.
* Another initiative hamstrung by the freeze was the OTF’s approximately $500,000 rapid response fund, designed to provide fast relief for civil society groups, protesters, journalists and human rights defenders who have come under digital attack. The fund is open to applicants from around the world, but has made several payouts to groups in Hong Kong since unrest began there in June 2019.
* The OTF is little-known outside the world of open source technology, but its funding has contributed to the development of secure communications tools used by protesters in Hong Kong and around the world. It was a key early funder of Signal, the encrypted messaging app of choice for many Hong Kong protesters. Between 2012 and 2016, it donated nearly $3 million to the development of the encryption protocol the app is built on.
* Assistance so far, when it has come, has come from bodies at arm’s length from the U.S. government like the OTF and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), another non-profit predominantly funded by Congress, which spent about $643,000 on Hong Kong programs in 2019.
This report was referenced in an editorial for the Hong Kong based paper SCMP which acknowledged its implications. Another potentially usable source on the topic of US involvement (which I don't have access to) is the book "The Other Side of the Story: A Secret War in Hong Kong". ] (]) 00:37, 25 January 2023 (UTC)


== Fatalities and injuries chapter needed ==
::: {{u|Citobun}} {{u|Dgtdddsx123}} - So you agree such incidents of violence can be mentioned in the "Radical group" subsection? ] (]) 09:48, 9 December 2021 (UTC)


Nowadays, media is full of news of protests. It reminded me of infamous Tiananmen and Yellow Vest. Visited both and noticed both articles have dedicated chapters for deaths and injuries. I was curious to compare with the infamous Hk protest and the number of deaths and injuries but there's no dedicated chapter in this article and very difficult to find info on the deaths. I think for such an important protest, deaths and injuries are significant enough to deserve a dedicated chapter yet it's surprising to me that nobody created one. Perhaps it's lack of interest but I think one should be created. But is there a particular reason on why there shouldn't be one? If there's no reason, may I request Misplaced Pages to do consider to create one and fill in the info? ] (]) 03:18, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
:::: One can leave both negative/positive comments/own feelings for the protests on this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/Reactions_to_the_2019%E2%80%932020_Hong_Kong_protests. Of course, don't be too aggressive:) ] (]) 11:39, 09 December 2021 (UTC)
:::::I concur with Citobun that this shouldn't be a section. Luo and the guy who was lit on fire were already discussed in the article and there is no point repeating again. We tried to avoid discussing singlular incident unless it was very important and notable. This page is not meant to be an exhaustive list of violent actions. I don't see any problem with mentioning violence against police in the radical section. ] (]) 12:30, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

    US funding

    There was an article from Time that noted US funding of various initiatives associated with the protests. (The article's ostensible topic is the freezing of these funds by the Trump administration.) Some excerpts:

    • The freeze affected several contracts—estimated by two sources with knowledge of them to be worth around $2 million—that would have directly benefited the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong.
    • Another initiative hamstrung by the freeze was the OTF’s approximately $500,000 rapid response fund, designed to provide fast relief for civil society groups, protesters, journalists and human rights defenders who have come under digital attack. The fund is open to applicants from around the world, but has made several payouts to groups in Hong Kong since unrest began there in June 2019.
    • The OTF is little-known outside the world of open source technology, but its funding has contributed to the development of secure communications tools used by protesters in Hong Kong and around the world. It was a key early funder of Signal, the encrypted messaging app of choice for many Hong Kong protesters. Between 2012 and 2016, it donated nearly $3 million to the development of the encryption protocol the app is built on.
    • Assistance so far, when it has come, has come from bodies at arm’s length from the U.S. government like the OTF and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), another non-profit predominantly funded by Congress, which spent about $643,000 on Hong Kong programs in 2019.

    This report was referenced in an editorial for the Hong Kong based paper SCMP which acknowledged its implications. Another potentially usable source on the topic of US involvement (which I don't have access to) is the book "The Other Side of the Story: A Secret War in Hong Kong".

    Fatalities and injuries chapter needed

    Nowadays, media is full of news of protests. It reminded me of infamous Tiananmen and Yellow Vest. Visited both and noticed both articles have dedicated chapters for deaths and injuries. I was curious to compare with the infamous Hk protest and the number of deaths and injuries but there's no dedicated chapter in this article and very difficult to find info on the deaths. I think for such an important protest, deaths and injuries are significant enough to deserve a dedicated chapter yet it's surprising to me that nobody created one. Perhaps it's lack of interest but I think one should be created. But is there a particular reason on why there shouldn't be one? If there's no reason, may I request Misplaced Pages to do consider to create one and fill in the info? 49.195.45.133 (talk) 03:18, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
