There's been some edit conflicts from people when it comes to the lead image. I think it's fair to hold an RfC to see which image should be used for this article. Option A is a photo from 2019, Option B is a photo from 2009, and Option C is from 2011. shanghai.^{talk to me} 18:42, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

A: As at Uluru - Both individual names and dual name in the lede as WP:ALTNAMES, with the title as the leading name. Both individual names in infobox.

B: As at Disentis - Both individual names and dual name in lede as WP:ALTNAMES, with the title as the leading name. Dual name in infobox.

C: As at Bradshaw Sound - Only the dual name in lede, dual name in infobox.

The RFC is held at this central location as it affects articles about places in Australia, France, New Zealand, and Switzerland, but it is not intended to alter the MOS. The context of the RFC is ongoing debate about the ideal format, which this RFC is intended to resolve in a consistent manner. 03:03, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

According to MOS:CAPS, "In English, proper names, which can be either single words or phrases, are typically capitalized," and "Wikipedia relies on sources to determine what is conventionally capitalized; only words and phrases that are consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources are capitalized in Wikipedia."

the main source used in this article "The Emergence of Kurdish Nationalism and the Sheikh Said Rebellion, 1880–1925" states the people were Assyrian. "One of these was the Assyrian (Nestorian) rebellion of 3-4 September 1924 of Beyt Sebab, which, as indicated above, was itself very much related to the Sheikh Said rebellion." Nestorian is a theology of Christianity that is incorrect and does not apply to Assyrians and was incorrectly used sometimes to describe them. The Assyrian people page explains this as well: Assyrian_people

1. The data is too old, when newer data is available
2. Other UK cities lead paragraphs use population data that takes into account the conurbation and not just the immediate city centre population
3. There is more than 6 different population stats to choose from when measuring the size of the city, so why choose this particular data set without a thorough discussion of the other available data given by the ONS?
4. Consensus was not achieved in previous edit disputes and unilateral action was taken.
5. There is evidence from the Birmingham article talk page that there is a minor edit war between Manchester and Birmingham articles and thus some editors maybe pandering to a covert bias by choosing certain population data over others for advantatious reasons.

The idea that the virus was released from a laboratory (accidentally or deliberately) appeared early in the pandemic.^[1][2] The theory gained popularity in America through promotion by conservative figures including president Donald Trump and other members of the Republican Party in the spring of 2020,^[3] fomenting tensions between the US and China.^[4] Many in American liberal media and political circles subsequently dismissed it as a conspiracy theory.^[5][6]

QUESTION: Should the following sentence be added to the lead...

Some scientists initially supported the lab leak theory in early 2020, but later changed their stance.^[7][8]

... so that it reads ...

1. The 9 Jan 2022 version (which has been reverted), versus
2. The current (16 Jan) version, Climate change in the United States#Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK)

The following issues are raised:

• WP:NEUTRAL Point of View
• WP:NOTAFORUM
• WP:Minority viewpoints (esp. re breadth interpreting the term, "climate change adaptation")
• Direct WP:RELEVANCE to climate change adaptation (distinguish from WP:UNDUE weight re background topics such as relative virtues of TEK in general, power politics of getting TEK accepted, etc.)
• WP:WIKIVOICE and general WP:PROMOTIONal tone

The debate is not about editors' "world views", personal "expertise", underlying righteousness of a cause, etc. —RCraig09 (talk) 19:40, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

I would like to expand this list with online encyclopedias that do not have  their own Wikipedia articles. I believe they are relevant to Wikipedia but don't necessarily need their own articles (other encyclopedia lists also have items without an article). I would use this list compiled for Wikidata properties - plenty of important, academic encyclopedias. When I tried to start expanding the list, my edits were reverted by @MrOllie:. See our discussion about this here. One of his concerns was that the list would be filled with fan wikis - this can be avoided easily that the list only includes non-open reference works. Anyway, could you chip in and tell if it's okay for me to expand the article? Thanks. Adam Harangozó (talk) 17:02, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

I think there should be, since most comic book characters have epithets, and also to prevent people from mistaking epithets for aliases and putting them in the aliases section, a mistake I have seen frequently in character articles. Any thoughts?

If yes to the last of those options, what items should be included and how should this be determined? Options here might include Any items receiving considerable RS coverage or Any items where RS discuss how the event may shift polling or Any items where RS say the event shifted polling. Again, editors may wish to add other options. We can presume that normal rules, WP:CONSENSUS etc., would apply. Bondegezou (talk) 11:55, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

By January 2022, Republicans were making efforts to take control of the administrative management of elections as large majorities continued to believe the big lie that the 2020 election had been stolen persistently repeated falsehoods about election fraud in 2020 and that democracy was at risk of failing.

A. Use the adjectival or adjectival compound form of the countries name when they are available and natural (eg, German-Icelandic relations, Franco-German relations)
B. Use the nounal form of the countries name throughout (eg, Germany-Iceland relations)
C. Consider each article's common name; do not apply a uniform format

Trump was the only president to never reach a 50% approval rating in the Gallup poll dating to 1938.

Arguments for omission:

1) User:Kramler has written an essay on why it is misleading to use the prefix from a legal and scholarly perspective 2) The vast majority of English language sources omit 'federal' (examples: 1 2 3 4 5 6)

Arguments for inclusion:

1) It is the literal translation 2) The English language websites of government ministries use the prefix (examples: 1 2 3 4 5)

Thus should we include or omit the word 'federal' as a prefix? Colonestarrice (talk) 11:59, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

1. (Races in bold indicate pole position) (Races in italics indicate fastest lap)
2. (Races in bold indicate pole position) (Races in italics indicate fastest lap)

Note that this RFC question is about the formatting of the words "bold" and "italics" themselves in the legend, not the use of bold or italics in the table to denote (for example) pole position, fastest lap.

For previous discussions, see User talk:Mitch Ames § Removal of "unnecessary self-referential text formatting" and Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Text formatting § Use of bold and italics in the legend for a table. Mitch Ames (talk) 08:58, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
