The mass movement started first with a very few people.But with time the few turnd in to a huge mass of people.People all over the country are joining the movement with their family and friends.
Online media's played an important role in this mass movement.Otherwise it was next to impossible to spread the words that fast.Every citizen of the country joining eagerly and asking other's to do the same.It's a great example for the young generation.
Not only men,but also women are playing an outstanding part in this protest.They don't care about the future,all they care about is their country and war heroes.
This movement is going to last as long as the demands are not fulfilled!

About the photo gallery

Someone earlier mentioned Wikipedia isn't a photo album, and more written information is needed. I agree, however the photos also kind of show what it looks like, and especially the ones sent from abroad shows a global perspective. Nevertheless, in case of photos from outside Bangladesh, there should be only one photo per school/community. Not more than that - one is enough to get the point that "this school/community also showed support.

Editing International Reactions section

The focus of the article seems to be moving away from the main topic at Shahbag, towards what the reactions of the Bangladeshi communities living abroad, due to the amount of contents in that section compared to the rest of the article. Even the photo gallery has more photos from abroad than that from home. This needs to be monitored. Editors, please try to summarize the stories of demonstrations as much as you can. The best option would be to only mention the name of the city/province/state within one paragraph, and cite the source to a site where news article/photos/writings of the said sit-ins/demonstrations/protests are detailed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rafi2252 (talk • contribs) 00:57, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Gallery on Wikimedia Commons

I have created an album with free photos of shahbag protest on commons here (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/2013_Shahbag_Protest ). As wikipedia is not a photo album the huge number of photos at the bottom of the wikipage should be removed. It also creates problems on mobile phone browser. The Wikimedia gallery was added at bottom. Ctg4Rahat (talk) 10:00, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
