Editing Talk:2026 Iranian diaspora protests (section)

== Crowd-counting consortium(a?) ==
{{ping|~2026-10380-14}} In {{diff|Global day of action for the Iranian people|prev|1338558125|this edit}} you added a comment about [[crowd counting]] techniques (to [[global day of action for the Iranian people|the other article]]). You can add comments like that on the [[WP:TALKPAGE]] of an article, but not directly in an article. However, we're unlikely to be able to use Wikipedians' [[WP:OR|interpretations of crowd density and area from a photograph]]. If you have a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] for that calculation, then we could likely use it. See [[crowd counting]] for methods, and [[crowd counting#External links]] for some of the groups that do this, such as the [https://ash.harvard.edu/programs/crowd-counting-consortium Harvard Kennedy School Crowd Counting Consortium] for protests in the US, which has a web interface {{tq|"Submit a Record"}} for anyone with internet access to propose a source for a protest crowd count. They will likely ignore any info about the Melbourne protest, since it's out of scope. You're welcome to convince democracy research groups elsewhere (Australia, Canada, South Korea, India, Brazil, Chile, wherever) to create similar projects.
