Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute Users involved Dispute overview For many years R. Kelly was listed as a spouse in the infobox on the Aaliyah article. It was removed a few months ago. I added it back recently, but the edit was revised and the summary stated that there was a consensus to remove it because their marriage was annulled so it didn't exist. However, every other celebrity that I've checked who has had an annulment still have their former spouse mentioned in the infobox. For example Renée Zellweger, Britney Spears, Janet Jackson and Pamela Anderson. Lastly, R. Kelly's infobox mentions Aaliyah as a spouse so shouldn't hers also mention his? How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? I'm looking to start a discussion and get the opinions of editors. I wanted to to an RfC but it was removed because their isn't a sufficient enough of a discussion. Aaliyah discussionPlease keep discussion to a minimum before being opened by a volunteer.

Dispute overview We are disputing whether George Kambosos Jr. should be identified as Greek-Australian or Australian. The conversation page is rather large. However the argument is as per CONTEXTBIO ethnicity should not be added unless it is relevant to the subject notability. Squared.Circle.Boxing claims that because Kambosos was not born in Greece nor his parents, nor has he spent much of his career there or represented them officially, supposedly that makes his ethnicity irrelevant to his notability. However, I have argued that because his grandparents on both sides of his family were born in Greece, He is still technically a Greek-Australian by definition. I have added multiple other reasons to the talk page, but they don't all fit here. In summary: 1. Greek-Australians are 1.5% of the Australian population, which meant, percentage wise, the odds were against him. 2. He references his Greek and sometimes more specifically his Spartan heritage as his motivation in interviews frequently. 3. His body is covered in tattoos of Greek iconography and phrases 4. His boxing trunks had Greek phrases on them 5. He used 300 as his pre walkout music for his fight against Teofimo Lopez 6. He has a Greek last name, which announced every time he boxes 7. He carries both a Greek and Australian flag every time he enters and exits a ring. 8. He himself identifies as Greek-Australian. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? Please see talk page for the large discussion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:George_Kambosos_Jr. How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? I dont believe asking for assistance on the page itself from other editors will provide a neutral point of view. I hope you are guy are able to settle this dispute fairly. Summary of dispute by Squared.Circle.BoxingPlease keep it brief - less than 2000 characters if possible, it helps us help you quicker. Pretty much what they said. OT believes ethnicity should be added per MOS:CONTEXTBIO whereas I (and two other editors who also reverted OT's addition) believe it should be exluded, per CONTEXTBIO. All the evidence they've provided simply proves that Kambosos is proud of his Greek heritage, not that it is in any way relevant to his notability–which begins and ends with boxing.

I will notify them now. OceanTakeaway (talk) 06:36, 13 December 2021 (UTC) Done. Notified on both the George Kambosos talk page and Squared.Circle.Boxing talk page. OceanTakeaway (talk) 06:51, 13 December 2021 (UTC) I'd just like to note that comments such as "not that it is in any way relevant to his notability–which begins and ends with boxing." First of all, Kambosos became notable when he became a champion for the first time, not just because he's a boxer. Not all boxers have Wiki pages. "All the evidence they've provided simply proves that Kambosos is proud of his Greek heritage," No, that would be the case if he displayed a flag on his car or on his house - something not related to the moment he became notable. What makes it relevant in this case is that these displays of his ethnicity are directly related to the moment he became notable. His tattoos, His flags, His trunks, his flags, all on display both during an after the fight where he became notable. His interviews, all referencing his notable fight. OceanTakeaway (talk) 02:06, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
First statement on Kambosos by moderatorI will try to moderate this dispute. Please read the rules that are in effect; I expect the editors to follow the rules, and to ask questions if not sure. Be civil and concise. Overly long statements are common in Wikipedia disputes, but are not useful; they may make the poster feel better, but they often do not persuade or clarify. Comment on content, not contributors. Are there any issues other than how to list the ethnicity and nationality of the subject boxer? Will each editor please state in one paragraph what they want to change or leave the same in the article, and what their reasons are in terms of Wikipedia policies and guidelines? Robert McClenon (talk) 23:58, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
First statements on Kambosos by editorsI propose his identity in the opening paragraph be changed from Australian to Greek-Australian. It covers both his ethnicity and his nationality. It retains the existing information on the article, whilst adding more to make the article more accurate. It also fall within the rules of CONTEXTBIO where his ethnicity can be added if it is relevant to his notability - winning his first world titles by beating Teofimo Lopez for the WBA, IBF and WBO championships. I have listed why they are relevant to his win as per the following: 1. He is of 100% Greek decent, as his grandparents on both side of his family were born in Greece. 2. Greek-Australians are 1.5% of the Australian population, which meant, percentage wise, the odds were against him. 3. He references his Greek and his Spartan heritage as his motivation in interviews leading up to the Lopez fight. 4. His body is covered in tattoos of Greek iconography and phrases which were clearly seen durign the Lopez fight. 5. His boxing trunks for the Lopez fight had Greek phrases on them. 6. He used 300 as his pre walkout music for his fight against Lopez 7. He has a Greek last name, which announced every time he boxes 8. He carried both a Greek and Australian flag into the ring for the Lopez fight. 9. He himself identifies as Greek-Australian. [1][2][3][4]OceanTakeaway (talk) 03:25, 15 December 2021 (UTC) Greek-Australian is in direct contradiction to CONTEXTBIO. Kambosos has been notable for at least 7 years. The only thing he is notable for is boxing. Showing pride in his heritage has no relevance to his notability as a boxer–in that his grandparents being from Greece has not, in any way, contributed to his notability. This is also not a case of dual nationality where he has been notable under both nationalities, separately, or where he identifies with one particular nationality. Second statement on Kambosos by moderatorOn the one hand, it is clear that Kambosos identifies as Greek-Australian. On the other hand, after researching the applicable guideline, which is the biographical context guideline, the guideline seems clear, which is that his nationality should be listed in the lede sentence, and his ethnicity should not be listed. Is there another guideline that leads to a different result, or that warrants overriding the guideline? His ethnicity clearly should be mentioned in the article, but the question appear to be about the lede. Unless there is another guideline, we can list him as Australian, or we can submit a Request for Comments, but it will probably support the existing guideline. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:15, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
Second statements on Kambosos by editorsJust to clarify, the CONTEXTBIO does say "should generally not be in the lead unless it is relevant to the subject's notability". In your opinion @Robert McClenon:, do you believe his ethnicity is relevant enough to his notability to list him as "Greek-Australian"? Otherwise, if not, would his ethnicity at least be relevant enough to have a "of Greek decent" placed after "Australian boxer"? OceanTakeaway (talk) 03:47, 16 December 2021 (UTC) Third statement on Kambosos by moderatorIn looking at the article, it appears that he became notable by defeating Lopez. His Greek descent of encyclopedic significance and should be mentioned in the article. It is true that the Wikipedia guideline does not provide for his self-identification to be listed in the lede sentence, because he identifies as Greek-Australian. The guideline provides that his nationality is included in the lede, because this does not appear to be one of the cases where his ethnicity is relevant to his notability, only to his identification. I will close this DRN in about 24 hours unless I am asked to post an RFC, in which case I will close this DRN after the RFC is posted. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:38, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
I am not. @Robert McClenon: I would like to request a RFC from other users into whether or not they believe Kambosos' ethnicity is of relevance to his notability and why, if you dont mind please. It's not that I dont trust your judgement, but I do feel that the relevance in this case is subjective. OceanTakeaway (talk) 12:56, 16 December 2021 (UTC) Third statements on Kambosos by editors@Robert McClenon: Ok, so if his ethnicity is not relevant enough to his notability, and as such should not be changed from "Australian" to "Greek-Australian" but should still be mentioned, would it be acceptable to change "is an Australian professional boxer who has held the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and The Ring lightweight titles" to "is an Australian professional boxer of Greek decent who has held the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and The Ring lightweight titles"? OceanTakeaway (talk) 06:07, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
I have noted my request to @Robert McClenon: for RFC from other users into whether or not they believe Kambosos' ethnicity is of enough relevance to his notability. OceanTakeaway (talk) 12:58, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

I Strongly object to the racist term used by SlaterSteven with an intentional misspelling of the word- "Hindus". It is racist and equivalent of calling a person of African American a disgusting word. I request the Admins to take severe action against the usage of such Racist terminology. 49.204.198.173 (talk) 16:22, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Dispute overview Mount Ararat is a mountain belonging to Turkey.However, as a result of the propaganda made by the Armenian state to their own nation, they adopted Mount Ararat as theirs.As a result of a simple research, you will see that Mount Ararat is a mountain belonging to the Turkish state.However, as you will see, when you enter the article, it is thought that Mount Ararat belongs to Armenia because of the visual and the text below it. Please stop this deliberate secret propaganda. Please don't let them misuse wikipedia in this way.

I cannot make changes to the article because it is protected. As you can see, Mount Ararat looks like an Armenian mountain. I want to fix it properly after the article is unprotected.This situation may seem very strange to you, but in many articles, the regions belonging to Turkey are tried to be shown as if they belong to Armenia. troll work.Enverpasatr (talk) 10:38, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Users involved Dispute overview I wanted to create a page for "Survival tree". First, I attempted to update the existing page "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survival_analysis#Tree-structured_survival_models". But MrOllie reverted that change. When it did not work I created a separate "Survival Tree" page, and again MrOllie added "#Redirect Survival analysis#Tree-structured survival models" to make my new page irrelevant. In the Survival tree page, I mentioned in details about definition of survival tree, background, all the available algorithms and how to implement in R. I had plan to add examples. The Survival tree page I created gives valuable information which is not available in any other page including in the redirect. Therefore, I want my Survival tree page reinstated.

Persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire

Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute
Users involved
Dispute overview This is about the title, an issue which has been brought several times in the talk page throughout the years, both through requested moves and informal discussions, but no consensus was ever achieved. In the last discussion in particular, all four participating editors, myself included, more or less agreed that the current title, in particular the term 'persecution', is too specific and not quite supported by the sources. We also agreed that the subject of the article may be more accurately defined by something like Christian attitudes and actions toward paganism during the period when Christians were politically dominant in the Roman Empire. The actual disagreement is simple and straightforward: how to turn this into an adequate, concise title. I thought 'Paganism in the Christian Roman Empire' was best, two others preferred 'Paganism in the late Roman Empire', and another was undecided. Both sides cited policies which they thought was applicable, neither convinced the other, and it was no consensus yet again. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? The main and relevant discussion is Talk:Persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire#Proposed title change, but there have been others previously as far as 5 years ago, which can be seen in the talk page archives. How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? By helping decide which of the two titles is more compliant with policy and which better helps indicate the subject of the article, or, failing that, suggesting a third alternative as a compromise. I don't think the content aspect involves any significant difficulty that would discourage a moderator/third party from participating.

And yes, I was not finished yet with the addition of new sources as wel.

The article was never deleted. It was moved to Draft:Bitvavo. Blockchain and cryptocurrencies is a topic rife with undisclosed paid advocacy, cryptocurrency pumping and pay-for-play media coverage in a landscape known for securities and bank fraud, rug pulls, Ponzi schemes and pump and dumps. Hence the need for the sanctions regime, strict sourcing requirements and the draftification. Articles in this topic area can be promotional by merely existing, no matter how neutrally they are written. Yes, you will be banned without further warning if you promote any cryptocurrency related subject. That is the price for editing in such a spam-prone topic with serious ramifications for the public.

Summary of dispute by DoniagoTo my understanding, the matter at hand revolves around whether a mention of the film being listed on The Black List (survey) is significant enough to be included in the article. Given that the survey is notable enough for its own article (and if it shouldn't have its own article, that's a separate issue), and that it was a third-party source that mentioned the film's inclusion in said survey, I'm not sure why there's a question as to whether it's appropriate to include this mention. It should be noted that I believe there's a consensus at WP:FILM, that with regards to films receiving awards and such, the criterion is usually that if the award in question has its own article then it is significant and should be included.
