Per WP:ACCUSED, should forms of the word "alleged" be used prior to a conviction to describe the "push" that may have caused the death of Michelle Go? Jax 0677 (talk) 23:01, 29 June 2022 (UTC) |
This is a dispute over yes or no of a rewrite of lead sentence of the current "Comfort Women" article. The content of the dispute is shown in the Talk. We agree that there are two opinions about "comfort women": "licensed prostitutes" and "sex slaves", and also that we have exhausted our arguments. In the current article, the first paragraph reads, "Comfort women or comfort girls were women and girls forced into sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Army ..." and the writing of "licensed prostitutes claim”is excluded as this basis. To maintain neutrality, shouldn't this paragraph be changed to, for example, "Comfort women or comfort girls were women and girls to provide sexual services to the Imperial Japanese Army..." ?
The reason for oppositon to the writing of "licensed prostitutes" is based on the claim that the majority of comfort women is sex slaves. There is an objection to "majority of sex slaves" with evidence. Even if they are a minority, wouldn't be against wiki's 5P1 and 5P2 to exclude dissenting opinions ? Please read through Talk and commen. If you have any questions, I will answer them. Eyagi (talk) 05:19, 29 June 2022 (UTC) |

Should each section be made into a chart so that information on each person can be globalized? If so, some potential categories could be name and dates alive, position of power, and years of sentence. Lima Bean Farmer (talk) 18:54, 23 June 2022 (UTC) |

This request for comments is broadly for two question relating to this list:
Both these issues have been previously discussed in above section, § Post-post-close discussion and § Lead image. There is no clear consensus among the talk page watchers for the lead image, and the table structure needs a broad discussion. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 11:23, 18 June 2022 (UTC) |
How should UK churches be sorted in categories in en.wiki? For background, including links to previous inconclusive discussions, please see the section #DEFAULTSORT for churches above. Note that articles on UK churches have a wide variety of title formats. Consider St Chad's Church, Far Headingley, but also:
(It is of course possible that some of these should have other article titles). The practice of expanding "St" or "St." to "Saint" is mandated by WP:SORTKEY and appears uncontroversial, so "Sort by article title" or similar, in this RfC, can be taken to mean "Sort by title with "St" expanded to "Saint" (and with a leading "The" removed in rare cases)". The only existing guidance on sortkeys appears to be that at WP:SORTKEY, which includes the option that " |
Talk:List of coups and coup attempts
Editing this list gets more complicated if we want to keep including not just verified coups and coup attempts, but also well-sourced allegations that such incidents have occurred (like these items). If alleged incidents are included or retained in this list, then we could (1) amend the lead to unambiguously explain the list criteria so readers will understand that some of the listed items are unverified by reliable secondary sources as actual coups or actual coup attempts. We could also avoid undue weight and confusion by (2) putting alleged incidents into a separate chronological section with an appropriate header (like this for example) instead of mixing them in with the verified incidents. So the RFC question is this: should step (1) and/or step (2) be implemented? Anythingyouwant (talk) 04:33, 18 June 2022 (UTC) |
Wikipedia talk:Stand-alone lists
Wikipedia carries a number of stand-alone lists of individuals ranked by financial "net worth" for certain regions.
Examples: List of Europeans by net worth, List of wealthiest Americans by net worth, List of Canadians by net worth, List of Arabs by net worth, List of Saudis by net worth, List of British billionaires by net worth, List of Japanese by net worth, List of Pakistanis by net worth, List of Filipino billionaires by net worth, List of Indian people by net worth, List of Italians by net worth, List of Greeks by net worth, List of Portuguese by net worth, List of Ugandans by net worth, List of Romanians by net worth, List of Kenyans by net worth, etc. |
I was just wondering what people thought about the idea of relisting this article as a "Good Article" nominee. It has been almost 15 years since it was delisted from the title and it has certainly a better article from then. All opinions are welcome but the main question I'm asking is do you think it's ready to be nominated again? Thanks!

As historian Neff notes, the Civil War lacks a precise end date: "In practice, the war was brought to an end on a piecemeal basis, by way of a welter of specific measures by the Union government." But since we remain in the business of conveying information, how should we communicate the end date in the infobox? Please peruse the above sections, with excellent research by Donner60 and company. The following dates stand out, but your solution needn't be limited to those listed:
Other possible approaches include:
The topic is also covered at Conclusion of the American Civil War, though the above research has exposed the article as rather lacking. Smooth sailing, CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 18:39, 15 June 2022 (UTC) |

Talk:Hypothetical Axis victory in World War II
Recently there was controversy over what map or other image, if any, should be placed in the article's lead, eventually an RfC was held, with the conclusion that there was consensus against the proposed maps due to concerns over original research, but given that the only users who took part in it were ones who were already involved in the dispute, I thought it was appropriate to at least have further discussion on this issue.
I made some proposals which were already mentioned above:
Other suggestions would be welcomed. -- 2804:248:f650:6600:86f:165c:bba5:8f4 (talk) 04:51, 11 June 2022 (UTC) |

Talk:Winston-Salem, North Carolina
There have been several edits to the info box on the page recently (including by myself), revolving around the discussion to delete or keep the major Interstates & US Routes and the Airport in the info box. Myself and the other editor cannot agree, and I wanted to open it up for comment before we continue to undo each others edits.

Talk:List of longest-reigning monarchs
See #14th : Elizabeth II for Jamaica section above. I've noticed the inconsistency with having Elizabeth as 2nd and 14th longest-reigning monarch(s?), and other wikipedians have. But at least one wikipedian (two ? I'm not sure what Peter O. thinks about this specific number question) disagree, the discussion can't go further. There's also the more general issue of having two separate Elizabeth entry (one for Jamaica and one for the other countries), me and others are also against it, but it seems to me that it's less important as it's a presentation issue, not an inconstistency issue.

Talk:Suicide by jumping from height
Should this article about a particular method of suicide continue to include (i.e. keep) a list of specifically-named notable people who have died by this particular method? Does such a list have substantial value to explain or illustrate the topic of this article? Or should the existing list be removed (i.e. remove) with the consensus that it not be replaced without a new future consensus to do so?
The list in question is, as of this writing, the list beginning with "Prominent examples of autodefenestration include..." followed by a list of linked names. What this RFC is not: This is not on the question of whether such a list should not be included (a) due to concerns about either sensitivity for the surviving friends and relatives of people on the list, (b) due to concerns about whether such a list publicizes suicide in a way that might empower or encourage living individuals to kill themselves by this method of suicide or in general, or (c) similar concerns. This RFC is also not about the sentence beginning "The highest documented suicide jump..." What this RFC is: This is only about whether the list benefits this article under ordinary Wikipedia principles for inclusions of lists of things in articles. Please weigh in by beginning with Keep or Remove or Other meaning, respectively, Keep the existing list in the article, Remove the existing list from the article and do not replace it without a new future consensus to do so, or Other and explain.
