There is currently a dispute: In articles about former and incumbent Prime Ministers of Thailand and also Governor of Bangkok, should the "Ordinal number" be add in the infobox containing the minister's and the governor’s number?

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.

Should Disney's political affiliations be included in the infobox? The section "World War II and beyond: 1941–1950" explains in several sentences his partisan affiliation and allegiance.

Disney was lightly involved in Democratic politics, but during The Second World War and the Cold War Disney became known for his conservative and staunchly anti-communist views. His brother Roy, who was also politically active, has his party in his own infobox.

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.

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!

Language and linguistics
An editor has added false information about the demographics of Balochistan claiming that:
1. Baloch make up 60% in the province 2. There are Turks living in the area In support of the first point a random newspaper article is claimed source (whose numbers are contrary to any official source). While for the second point only imagination has been used. I first tried to update the numbers to 2017 census (latest census) i.e. Baloch make up 35% and there are no Turks in the area. But after discussing with other editors I came to know that there is no official definition of "Baloch ethnicity", and numerous Barahvi, Pashto, Sindhi and Seraiki speaking communities also identify as Baloch. So in that effect I preferred to remove that information to keep the article clean of imaginations, and just stick to facts. All of my edits were removed by the editor who added the baseless numbers in the first place, claiming that his version WP:STATUSQUO Also, there is no such thing as 2008 census. The 2008 data is based on 1998 census in which Pashtuns were underrepresented (see discussion), while in 2017 their representation was restored (and hence the jump in their numbers).

In January 2022, following ongoing reports of the dissatisfaction with the new rifle, especially with respect to corrosion, Polish company Onet.pl published an article documenting the results of a number of tests which presented the MSBS Grot in a bad light.

I am proposing re-wording the first sentence under "Operations": Unlike the four major commercial broadcast television networks in the United States, ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox, PBS is technically not a network, but rather a program distributor that provides television content and related services to its member stations.to From PBS's launch up until 2000, it was not technically considered a TV network, compared to the major US TV networks like ABC, CBS, Fox, & NBC, due to the stations that air PBS programming not being considered owned by PBS; they were considered independent stations carrying PBS at that time. However, beginning in 2000, public references to PBS labeled it as a TV network.. And, for reference, here are three sources making reference to PBS as a TV network, one of which references 2000 as when they started considering it a TV network : Mondo Times [1]: "Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) is a USA television network."; Tesla Memorial Society [2]: "Tesla, Master of Lightning, New Voyage Communications for PBS Television Network, 2000, 90 minutes"; Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs [3]: "(Ray) Suarez joined the PBS NewsHour in 1999 and was a senior correspondent for the evening news program on the PBS television network until 2013."; Inside Peace [4]: "We are pleased to announce the release of Inside Peace throughout the PBS television network in the United States.. 2600:1700:C960:2270:79B0:F220:B8D8:7E65 (talk) 19:55, 20 June 2022 (UTC) |

Talk:List of coups and coup attempts
Seems the use of the phrase "attempted coup" in this and related articles requires "WP:CONSENSUS" - adding "this edit" (also, see copy below) has been "reverted" due to a lack of "WP:CONSENSUS" - there has not been "Consensus" for removing the edit either - nonetheless - a "WP:CONSENSUS" discussion is sought.

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.

Should Disney's political affiliations be included in the infobox? The section "World War II and beyond: 1941–1950" explains in several sentences his partisan affiliation and allegiance. Here are some more sources on his political involvement: 1, 2, 3. Disney was lightly involved in Democratic politics, but during The Second World War and the Cold War Disney became known for his conservative and staunchly anti-communist views. His brother Roy, who was also politically active, has his party in his own infobox.

It will be nice to have a solid consensus derived from an RFC on this point, as it has been a frequent topic of disagreement.

Here to discuss the removal of gothic metal and gothic metal bands by DarknessGoth777. The template is for gothic subculture. The section is "Associated music". Gothic metal is associated with gothic subculture. I'm not saying it is or is not a gothic rock subgenre or have any intent on removing gothic rock. I'm saying gothic metal has an associated connection to gothic subculture, even if it may be less so than gothic rock. So my question to the rfc, is this alright to add or not?

Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking § What generally should not be linked says that major examples of countries which most readers will be at least somewhat familiar are usually not linked, implying that some of these shorthands should use {{flagu}} unstead of {{flag}}. So I propose changing the shorthands of sovereign UN member states (except microstates) to use the unlinked flag template while those of dependent territories and other non-sovereign entities (perhaps except the United Nations) remain linked as they are now. --Fernando Trebien (talk) 20:15, 3 June 2022 (UTC) |

Unsorted
User names
This page is for bringing attention to usernames which may be in violation of Wikipedia's username policy. Before listing a username here, consider if it should be more appropriately reported elsewhere, or if it needs to be reported at all:
- Report blatantly inappropriate usernames, such as usernames that are obscene or inflammatory, to Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention.
- For other cases involving vandalism, personal attacks or other urgent issues, try Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents; blatant vandalism can also be reported at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, which is sometimes a better option.
Do NOT post here if:
- the user in question has made no recent edits.
- you wish to have the block of a user reviewed. Instead, discuss the block with the blocking administrator (see also Wikipedia:Blocking policy#Unblocking).
Before adding a name here you MUST ensure that the user in question:
- has been warned about their username (with e.g. {{subst:uw-username}}) and has been allowed time to address the concern on their user talk page.
- has disagreed with the concern, refused to change their username and/or continued to edit without replying to the warning.
- is not already blocked.
If, after having followed all the steps above, you still believe the username violates Wikipedia's username policy, you may list it here with an explanation of which part of the username policy you think has been violated. After posting, please alert the user of the discussion (with e.g. {{subst:UsernameDiscussion}}). You may also invite others who have expressed concern about the username to comment on the discussion by use of this template.
Add new requests below, using the syntax {{subst:rfcn1|username|2=reason ~~~~}}.
Tools: Special:ListUsers, Special:BlockList
Reports
Please remember that this is not a vote, rather, it is a place where editors can come when they are unsure what to do with a username, and to get outside opinions (hence it's named "requests for comment"). There are no set time limits to the period of discussion.
- Place your report below this line. Please put new reports on the top of the list.
