Talk:Erfurt massacre

We currently have a list of victims of the massacre in the article, most of them teachers and some students. WP:NOTMEMORIAL normally discourages emphases on non-notable people. In this case, shall we remove or retain the list? --George Ho (talk) 08:37, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Potato chip

Should potato chips have it's history changed by a telegraph article, which refers to tornado fries and not potato chips anyways? 2A02:C7D:CA0D:8C00:DCEB:8539:38B6:F0CD (talk) 23:26, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Scranton General Strike

I don't really have a dog in this fight, but Anmccaff has expressed some concerns above regarding the neutrality of the article and the choice of title. (I came here from Special:NewPagesFeed and just did formatting and general cleanup. I really have no knowledge of the subject matter.) TimothyJosephWood 12:49, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

In general, use the Revised Romanization system for articles with topics about South Korea and topics about Korea before the division. Use McCune–Reischauer (not the DPRK's official variant) for topics about North Korea.

be replaced with

Talk:Cayman Islands

Greetings my fellow Wikipedians,

I just stumbled on this article and wanted to request comments on an addition of a section to this article. I am in the process of reading The Firm by John Grisham. This book, and its film adaptation, makes frequent reference to the Caymans and its establishments; additionally, the book's plot revolves heavily around the islands. I'm also very certain that other books, shows, or movies at least make passing mention of the island. I have seen numerous "In Popular Culture" sections in other articles. For example, take many of the military rank articles. I don't see these, however, on many other kinds of articles, even though they may be beneficial. I feel that is the case here. I'd like to hear other editors' opinions, and would very much like to see this section added here.

Thank you for your time and comments,

Talk:Jean Lapierre

The crash article seems short enough to fit into another article. Shall we merge the private airplane crash incident into the biography of the Canadian politician? George Ho (talk) 09:42, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ethnic groups

Should sections on genetics be removed from pages on ethnic groups? Gerard von Hebel (talk) 23:24, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Armenian Genocide

Should we include the term 'Medz Yeghern' as an alternative name to the Armenian Genocide in the first sentence of this article? Please comment precisely whether you want to exclude or include the term. Étienne Dolet (talk) 22:13, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Talk:CinemaScope

Despite technical differences between two CinemaScope formats, both belong to the same movie studio, 20th Century Fox. Does CinemaScope 55 meet WP:PRODUCT guideline? Shall we merge Cinemascope 55 into this article? Why or why not? George Ho (talk) 09:08, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Yuan dynasty

I am from china and is interested in history. the map of Yuan dynasty is wrong. in our history textbooks, Goryeo is marked as a country instead of a part of yuan. in Historical Atlas of China (1982) (it is regarded as an academic authority books of history in china), it also marked as an independent country. (the map was taken picture and upload here. Goryeo (高丽) marked as a country outside of yuan though it also marked as "Expand east province" (征东行省). in addition, some so-called "province" is exist in name only during yuan dynasty; such as "Jiaozhi province" (交趾行省) in Vietnam, "Champa province" (占城行省) in Champa, and "Myanmar province" (缅中行省 in Myanmar)). many we Chinese think Goryeo is a country instead of a part of yuan, these map of yuan are uploaded by Chinese users[1][2][3]. it prove what I said.

and I also noticed that there is an edit controversy in the map of yuan[4]. the user @Idh0854: from Korea and @Wengier: from china, think Goryeo is not a part of yuan in that time. And in Korean Wikipedia, article ko:원나라 also not use that file; them use [5], marked Goryeo as vassal. so Goryeo is considered as a country in both china and korea, we'd better adopted it. another discussion is started in Wikimedia commons here.[6]--122.90.84.169 (talk) 04:24, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Ooty

Should the "History" section in the Ooty article contain 'various Tamil kingdoms ruled over Nilgiris' which include even Cheras and Pandyas for whose rule over Nilgiris, there is hardly any concrete proof in the form of inscriptions/manuscripts/works indicating ruler, date, area of Nilgiris ruled, etc.?

Talk:State of Palestine

An RFC recently closed on Israel and it was determined that this article's lead should not describe State of Palestine as partially recognized.

Please respond whether in your opinion, the lead should say that State of Palestine:

  • is not a Sovereign state
  • has no defined borders
  • has no control over most of the territory it claims
  • is a de-jure state
  • is a proto-state
  • something else ?
