:*::I did the GA review last month, but I don't think we addressed the 2–3 night thing.

Another source (the one noted above for ALT0) says there was no rioting on Saturday night, the night of the rave. So I'd say two nights of rioting. There certainly weren't three full days of rioting, though I'm sure it started on Thursday and carried on past the midnight of Friday/Saturday, if you want to call that three days. Some media outlets reported it as three days/nights, but I think that's an inflation (some media personnel were seen encouraging the initial stone-throwing so they'd have something to report). I'd be fine with two days, two nights, or three days of rioting (in the article or the hook). To say three nights, however, would contradict some sources and require a explanatory footnote at the least. –[[User:Reidgreg|Reidgreg]] ([[User talk:Reidgreg|talk]]) 14:53, 11 May 2020 (UTC) | :*::I did the GA review last month, but I don't think we addressed the 2–3 night thing.

− | + | Hi Yoninah and Reidgreg, thanks for the comments. The source I've supplied above for ALT0 says on page 112 "Three nights of rioting and running battles with police ensued".

Hi, I came by to promote this, but the article says there were two days of riots (unsourced). Yoninah (talk) 13:08, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

According to the source, The Independent, there was a Wednesday incident and the rioting started on Thursday, carrying on through Thursday and Friday night. Another source (the one noted above for ALT0) says there was no rioting on Saturday night, the night of the rave. So I'd say two nights of rioting.
