The following discussions are requested to have community-wide attention:
I think it's time for us to have this discussion.
I propose that the apartheid allegation be explicitly mentioned in the lead. This is an incredibly well-sourced allegation, and I think the current lead which vaguely talks about "crimes of humanity" and "war crimes" is avoiding the core of the issue — precisely which crime is Israel being accused of? Apartheid is the principal one. Specifically, I propose that the current version " |
Talk:2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel
I would like to restart a previous RfC on calling the operation a Hamas victory in the infobox. In the interim, multiple other sources ([1], [2]) have supported this position. No consensus was reached in the past RfC however I think the decision then was erroneous. Most of the opponents had no compelling arguments except essentially appeals to emotion that the attacks were "terrorist" and that it would somehow be immoral to call "terrorists" winners. That RfC was further tainted by an e-mail canvassing situation. I believe that the closer erred in his judgement of no consensus.

Should it be mentioned in the lead, that the governor general is described as Canada's de facto head of state? GoodDay (talk) 20:15, 16 April 2024 (UTC) |
Talk:2024 Iranian strikes in Israel
What should the result section of the infobox say? Leaving out some possible options here, other suggestions are also welcome.

On replacing neo-fascism with post-fascism in the ideology section of the info box (both are in the lede). Please read RfC2 and the below post, which is effectively option 4. SUPPORT/OPPOSE for option 4 but wider discussion is welcome and needed.

Talk:2024 United States presidential election
There is currently an edit dispute on whether Kennedy Jr. should appear in the infobox of states that will likely not receive polling in the 2024 presidential election or have not been polled yet.
Option #1: Kennedy Jr. should appear in the infobox of every state he has ballot access in. Option #2: If the aggregate state polling shows Kennedy Jr. under >5% or >10% (whatever is determined by the RFC): then he shouldn't be included. If no polling has been done or he is above 5-10%, then he should be included. Option #3: Kennedy Jr. should not appear in the infobox if polling of the state has not been performed. |
Three related questions:
a) Can this article include non-medical information about Havana Syndrome (provided the information is properly sourced)? Examples of non-medical information include politics, economics, relationship to cold war, espionage, directed energy weapons, statements by foreign governments, conflict-of-interest allegations, and historical chronology of hypotheses & research. Example of non-medical information: Financial compensation from Havana Act [1] and [2]. b) Can this article include USA government reports, studies and statements from the executive branch, US Congress, CIA, Department of Defense, State department, National Institutes of Health, etc. (provided they are reported on by major media)? Specifically, is it okay if some sources are not from medical or scientific journals? Examples of government reports: [3] and [4]. c) For medical information in this article: does WP:MEDRS prohibit the use of primary medical sources in this article? Opposing view: Havana Syndrome is relatively new and evolving so it is okay to use primary medical sources in some situations (for example, when the primary source is widely reported in major media; or when the primary source is reporting a significant new result; or when there are no secondary sources yet available that have reviewed and summarized the primary source). Examples of recent widely-reported primary sources that have not been assessed by a secondary source: [5] and [6] |
Should we add Rowling's comments on India Willoughby from March 2024 to the end of the second paragraph of views -> transgender people before the paragraph as a whole is rewritten? I am proposing that we (only) add a short summary of the fact she did misgender Willoughby on Twitter and a short quote of one of the comments she made (see examples I have proposed elsewhere in this talk page). It would have a maximum length of two sentences. Subsequent developments after her comments themselves (police report etc) would not be included. The comments Rowling made on Willoughby in March are separate from those made on several transgender people including Willoughby on April Fools' Day. I'm almost certain her comments in March were the first times Rowling publicly misgendered a trans person. This would not include Rowling's additional recent comments on trans people in Nazi Germany, or other recent (separate) topics related to her views on trans people. 13tez (talk) 23:30, 4 April 2024 (UTC) |
Wikipedia talk:Political endorsements
In the RfC that this guideline is based on, it seems to be taken for granted that endorsements by notable individuals that are not covered by reliable and independent sources fail the inclusion criteria, but endorsements by notable organizations inherently merit inclusion. Somebody raised this important point in a prior RfC but received no meaningful answer. Here's a more airtight example:

There has been a lot of discussions on whether or not the language used by Elissa Slotkin should be used in the article when she said:
There has been a lot of contention over the meaning of this quote, with many saying it is anti-union and some saying it is pro-union or mundane. There has also been a debate over many of the sources that have been used quoting her as being anti-union, many of which are deemed reputable by Wikipedia (although there are debates over biases). Considering this, should this quote be characterized or partially included on the article? OrcaLord (talk) 02:25, 30 March 2024 (UTC) |
Talk:Libertarian Party (Australia)

Should the lead say, (a) RFK Jr. is a conspiracy theorist, (b) RFK Jr. promotes conspiracy theories, or (c) avoid both terms in describing his views. TFD (talk) 01:55, 29 March 2024 (UTC) |
