  • Talk:Giulio Clovio#On Clovio's origin (16th century painter) - Do the sources used in the article allow to mention his Macedonian ancestry as a clear fact, or only as a supposition ? - Ev 03:19, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Talk:John Funder - slow moving edit war over the inclusion of a passage alleging that this individual falsified a report. --BigDT 22:42, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Talk:Tilman_Hausherr#Proposed deletion and Talk:Tilman_Hausherr#Lutheran Sect Commissioner If it can be established that the subject of the article has written pieces which appeared in a publication put out by a different individual, should information about the profession of that second individual be included in the subject's article, or is it original research to assume that information about the second individual reflects on the first? 22:16, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Heather Mills McCartney. Should the article be titled Heather Mills or Heather Mills McCartney and how should she be refered to in said artcle? 15:25, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Abu Zubaydah No disputes (so far). I reorganized the content and it appears that a whole separate article is contained within the original article. The separate article is related to criticism of the incarceration/interrogation of Abu Zubaydah. It is substantially longer than the article on Zubaydah himself. I would like comments on whether this should be a separate article. Secondarily, I wonder, if we keep that information in the biography, should it take up that much room? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blue Tie (talk • contribs) 23:40, 4 March 2007 (UTC).
  • Talk:Kim Mitchell#RFC Can statements said on a radio show be included without citing a source? 20:01, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Hunter S. Thompson: straw poll. Should conspiracy theories about Thompson's death be allowed in the article, and if so how much space should be allowed. -- 15:34, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Talk:Prem Rawat#RFC Summary Should a biographical book be considered an unreliable source on the basis that the publisher is a small publisher and has published only one book? 20:19, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Barbara Schwarz RFC on "Biographical information". Whether statements by the subject of the article that are very dubious and unsupported as to their veracity belong in a section entitled ""Biographical information" or should they be presented elsewhere in the article as appropriate. Please comment -- 22:30, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of common Chinese surnames This is a dispute whether a list of Chinese surnames is a encyclopedic article or not. The debate has policy implications.-- 13:56, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Spelling of Tippu vs. Tipu Sultan - This is a dispute about how the proper name "Tipu" or "Tippu" should be spelled in the article. -- 05:41, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Martin Gilbert was originally placed at the Religion RfC, but the issue at hand doesn't seem to be related to religion. The question is: Should a negative review of one of his books be mentioned in the article? 01:42, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Amanda Dowler This article is allready rated as a good article but is heavily slanted towards the crime only, rather than having any form of previous biography. Also some important information concerning the crime itself has been ommited and need to be included in an apropirate way.--15:37, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
  • List of Arab scientists and scholars This list should contain all scientists and scholars that come from the Arab World and there is a disclaimer at the beginning that makes this clear. And yet still, there is a revert war. 20:51, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Talk:Dulé_Hill/RfC on image. Does Dule_Hill.jpg consitute fair use and can it be included in the article Dulé Hill? Thank you for your comments. 17:40, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Talk:Paul Booth (SDS activist) - Is Discover the Networks a valid source? 15:58, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Talk:Lynne_Stewart_Trial#Request_for_Comment:_Validity_of_sources - Is Discover the Networks an acceptable source? 15:57, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Ann Coulter - how should the article handle Coulter's comments on Canadian television in which she claimed that Canada sent troops to Vietnam? Should a C-SPAN interview in which Coulter admitted being wrong about this be referred to in the article? Should a TIME Magazine article that mentioned the controversy be referred to and/or a FAIR report on TIME's article? See Talk:Ann Coulter 07:45, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Ben Thompson#Legend I have been unable to come to any agreement with User:TheEditor20 and associated IPs (84.9.66.118, 194.177.166.118). So, please may you comment on what you guys think should happen the section. Tried moving section to talk page, kept on being reverted, user now removed disputed tag. Also see incident page. 22:41, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Talk:Zodiac killer#Request_for_Comment:_Link_placement_in_Zodic_killer_entry Please comment on dispute involving link placement in Zodic killer entry. 18:19, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Esai Morales - An editor who has made considerable contributions to the page now seems to be unwilling to accept a copyedited form of the article which removes several unsourced criticisms and comments about the subject's sister. 19:44, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Peter Roskam's (R-IL) Church Illinois Congressman Peter Roskam belongs to a contoversial breakaway sect of the Episcopal church known for its anti-gay views, and headed by a controversial leader who wants to imprison gays. How much of this church's stances should be included in the article? - 11:03, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Sexuality of Abraham Lincoln - to my mind, this is not neutrally written, and there are many citation needed tags, as well as disputes. I have added a {{totallydisputed}} tag, but it keeps being taken off by User:Wjhonson. I suppose I should also note that Jimbo Wales has already spotted this (it's how I found out about it), and he has written "No, it seems extremely biased to me. It looks like a legitimate topic, but as written now, it's a bit horrible". Now I'm not cowtowing to him as a God-king or anything, but I agree. 06:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Akon — Akon is a Senegalese-American singer, and in some interviews he has claimed his name is Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam. However, some users claim that is either nonsense or profanity in Wolof and can't be his name, but we can't find a ref saying that. Plus, he said it himself. What should we do? Right now I put in a questionable source saying his name is "Alioune Badara Thiam", which most commenters say is a more believable Senegalese name. -- 23:12, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Abbas Kiarostami — the article's a bit of a mess, but there seems to be disagreement concerning what counts as PoV language and content (and what counts as copyvio). 14:32, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Doris Stokes - should she be described as a "self-proclaimed medium" or as a medium at all? What does the word "medium" mean? You decide! 06:52, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Bat for Lashes I have added statements given by Natasha Khan in interviews to UK newspapers (e.g. growing up in Hertfordshire) and added her to the British Singers category. Mel Ettis has reverted my edits twice. I feel that as I have provided verifiable cites to interviews in British newspapers my edits regarding growing up in Hertfordshire are definitely acceptable, and that adding her to British singers is a reasonable assumption and in line with a fair amount of media portrayal as such. Discussion in the Talk page is in my opinion going nowhere. 10:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Ali Khamenei There are many things at Talk:Ali Khamenei talk page that I have a hard time including in the article.-- 05:23, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Kent Hovind; Talk:Kent Hovind. There is a dispute as to whether the is a NPOV dispute. One editor has placed a tag asserting that the NPOV of this article is disputed; at least three other editors, including an administrator has at one point objected to the adding of the tag. As of the post of this RfC, there is at least one clear objector to the placing of the tag. Comments are welcome. - 01:03, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
