Talk:National Mall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Largest Rally?
The article claims: "To date, the largest rally on the Mall was the 2004 March for Women's Lives, in favor of abortion rights and against George W. Bush." Has anyone seen any source for this claim? It is my understanding that estimates of crowd size are no longer released due to many organizations claiming to have the largest rally... Gblaz 20:25, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
- Further research has confirmed that the U.S. Park Police no longer issue estimates of crowd sizes. Therefore it is impossible to confirm the statement. Gblaz

The Mall and the White House
The Mall features the White House, but is within walking distance of the Capitol ? Is the White House on the mall then ? -- ll
- No, the White House is four blocks north of the Washington Monument. It's separated from the Mall by The Ellipse (3 blocks) and its own yard (1 block). -- Jeff Q 01:14, 6 Jun 2004 (UTC)

The?
I don't think this phrase passes the "capitalised 'The' in running text" test, so by my reading of Wikipedia:Naming conventions (definite and indefinite articles at beginning of name), this ought to be at National Mall. Alai 23:17, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Agreed and moved. violet/riga (t) 23:30, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
