Support merge. The protests article is primarily a list of locations, and if it is cut, the rest of the content is short enough to be combined into a paragraph. Hanif Al Husaini (talk) 07:34, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph 5 needs a citation where it claims opponents of proposition 8 claiming “opponents publicly sham[ed] supporters by disclosing their names and addresses online and boycotting proponents' businesses and employers to others threatening supporters with murder and vandalizing their homes and property.” No citation is given, and no where does it say where it is getting these examples from. 164.82.30.20 (talk) 16:47, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I tweaked the wording to remove the doxxing bit, and residential vandalism, neither of which was covered in the article body. Per WP:LEAD, the lead section should be a summary of article content, so we don't need citations in the lead section when that same stuff is supported by references in the article body. But thanks for the note because the claims went beyond a simple summary. Binksternet (talk) 17:32, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm doing personal research on the repeal process of Proposition 8, and would definitely like to also find the link to the original article. Am new to editing wikipedia, saw this, wanted to update it.
Broken reference link to reference 268, refers me to the home page of SFGATE, not the article link.
Please add a link to an archived page of the article, as the link
'http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/nov05election/detail?blogid=14&entry_id=43580' is longer public on the sfgate.com website.
Found this link: 'https://archive.is/K5Fj' from an archiving site after inputting the previous, non-working website link. ProlificSundown (talk) 03:10, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
