should Notable organizations that were governments be highlighted in bold text[edit]

should the text in section "Notable organizations" to be highlighted as bold of its significance among the other entries as governments just as parliamentary representation is highlighted here by italic text, this was the long term consensus until User:Mitch Ames changed it Gooduserdude (talk) 08:42, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

that MOS:BOLD only applies for article text not lists Gooduserdude (talk) 09:30, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
changed to strong then Gooduserdude (talk) 09:37, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My initial comment incorrectly referred to MOS:BOLD, but it should have been MOS:NOBOLD, which has the text I quoted.
Per my initial comment, NOBOLD is equally clear on not using <strong>or ((strong)).
In the absence of specific advice to the contrary, I think bulleted lists in an article are still part of "article text" - they are in article space. Is there something in MOS that says lists are not bound by MOS:TEXT?
I repeat my previous suggestion, that it would be better to split the list into three. Mitch Ames (talk) 13:10, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
please make a draft proposal how that would look like at User:Gooduserdude/sandbox Gooduserdude (talk) 16:20, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
i prefer the original version Gooduserdude (talk) 19:32, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

RfC: should Notable organizations that were governments be highlighted in bold text?[edit]

should Notable organizations that were governments be highlighted in bold text as bold of its significance among the other entries as governments just as parliamentary representation is highlighted here by italic text? Gooduserdude (talk) 19:42, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

it looks better and was the long term consensus version Gooduserdude (talk) 19:42, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Looked better" is purely subjective. People's opinions differ on what is "better", which is why we have MOS. "Was the long term consensus version" - Silence is the weakest form of consensus and "evaporates when an editor changes existing content or objects to it".

Support the alternate proposal by Mitch Ames below. Gooduserdude (talk) 13:07, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed alternative(s)

Combining CaptainEek's suggestion, with mine (separate lists), I propose this:

Extended content
Notable organizations
For a more comprehensive list, see List of white nationalist organizations.

White nationalist movements have achieved prominence around the world. Several have achieved representation in the governments of their country, and three have led governments:

Other notable organisations are:

With the Kremlin's tacit approval, the group operates paramilitary camps near St. Petersburg in which neo-Nazis and white supremacists from across Europe are trained in terrorist tactics.

Trimming See Also sections[edit]

I trimmed some of the massive lists of related people, organizations and concepts at the end of the article, but it was reverted as non-constructive. Those lists were taking up a ridiculous amount of space, and many were only tangentially related to the topic of White Nationalism. A lot were also redundant to the Template:White nationalism at the bottom, or were already linked in the article body so shouldn't be duplicated in a See Also. Pinging @Gooduserdude to discuss.

you removed the ENTIRE list of organisations, please see above discussions there is a clear consensus to have a version of this list, also you removed sourced content in the hungary section that stated "Two days later in Vienna, he clarified that he was talking about cultures and not about race." all relevant facts should be included, the rest is constructive, and since you brought this up i can restore the trimming edits Gooduserdude (talk) 16:54, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Right, the organizations I removed because they were wholly redundant with the navbox at the bottom. There are a ton of white nationalist/supremacist/etc organizations, and there's already plenty of argumentation at that template about which organizations should be included. Having a second (smaller) list here, but with no specific inclusion criteria different from the template, just creates another place for edit warriors to edit war over who should be on the list. Regarding the Hungary section and the other small edits, I double checked and I'm actually not sure how that happened. I only meant to work on the lists with those edits. Before trimming I was looking at previous versions of the article to see how the lists had grown, maybe I accidentally edited an old version instead of the current one? Either way, I have no objection to that content being included, I only meant to cut down on those huge lists of related items. By focusing on only a few of the most important ones, we can better guide the reader towards related topics they might actually be interested in reading about.
