Wikipedia style and naming

Talk:List of Danish supercentenarians
Lists of supercentenarians pages seem to have arrived to a status quo in which places of birth and death are wikilinked only once on the table (in a perhaps misunderstanding of MOS:OL, when that applies to prose, while MOS:DL applies to lists), causing the reader to, when reading a row, have to look for the same place on another row to follow its link. Should each place of birth or death be linked only on one cell of a table, or on every instance so that readers can read tabular data tabularly? — Guarapiranga ☎ 02:37, 22 June 2022 (UTC) |
Should this article use either dmy or mdy date format? See § Date format for prior discussion. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 08:08, 15 June 2022 (UTC) |
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision
Opening an project-wide RfC to determine how best to structure "contest by year" articles, e.g. Eurovision Song Contest 2022, Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2021. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 16:31, 8 June 2022 (UTC) |
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.

Wikipedia policies and guidelines
There has been heated debate recently over the claim by some editors that all train stations are inherently notable. Proponents of this idea say there is a long-term consensus establishing inherent notability of train stations. Opponents state that there is not a specific policy or guideline establishing any inherent notability. An RfC was held in 2019 [1] on this question, and closed with no consensus to find all train stations inherently notable, while also identifying several aspects of the question to be further considered. I am starting this RfC to follow up on the previous one in 2019, and attempt to come to an answer on the question of inherent notability for train stations.
I foresee the following possible outcomes of this discussion:

Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard
Insider won the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Illustrated Reporting and Commentary for its reporting on the story of an woman's escape from an internment camp (see: Uyghur genocide); the story was filed under its news section. Currently, WP:RSP describes Insider — with the exception of its culture section, which is considered RS — as being unclear in terms of reliability (option 2).
Is Insider's news (section) coverage, at least since December 2021 (when the Pulitzer winning story published), considered generally reliable for factual reporting?

Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)
To reflect the current WP:NSPORTS guideline which is based on significant coverage rather than achievement, I propose the following rewrite of WP:SPORTSPERSON:

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 " |

Wikipedia talk:Requested moves
Due to concerns raised by Onetwothreeip at Talk:Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation and Talk:Russo-Ukrainian War that I started the RM "without their permission", I am proposing the following two changes:
Should we implement one or both changes? Please say below whether you support or oppose each change. If you support #2, then please also say whether you support or oppose making notifying the requester mandatory. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 23:19, 30 June 2022 (UTC) |
