| The articles in this category place information from existing articles on Olympic Games into chronological order by day. Some of these were named as "YYYY Summer/Winter Olympics Highlights". Previous Articles for Deletion discussions (], ]) raised issues multiple issues. The information in the "highlights" already exists in articles for their respective Olympic Games and/or in sport specific pages (ex. ], ]). The highlights articles may represent ]. They may also represent a problem with ] as they inherently select a limited number of events or pieces of information and present them as more notable/important than others. Along these lines, the articles may also be ]. Some of these articles were updated during their respective Olympic Games, and were said to violate policy on ]. The articles were also said to be contrary to the ]. They were also criticized as there was no long-term historical perspective to be gained from a per-day organization.<br> Users in favor of keeping these articles argued that they were "useful", but required cleanup rather than deletion. The move from "Highlights" to "Chronological Summary" may have addressed the NPOV issue. ] (]) 22:05, 4 November 2014 (UTC)}} | |||

| In ], we renamed the WikiProject Somalia articles as: ], ], ], etc. (because WikiProject Somalia does not necessarily only pertain to the country of Somalia). In contrast, something like ] goes by ], ] is inaccurate and somewhat confusing because these are identified by the WikiProject not because they necessarily are articles on Athletics (which are under ]). I'd like to see if there's a broader consensus to support this naming convention in full. -- ] (]) 09:07, 31 October 2014 (UTC)}} | |||

| Earlier last week, I had redone the timelines of housewives for each of '']'' articles in a style that I thought was more clear and visually appealing that the original version. I had been reverted a couple times before I supposedly came to a compromise with another editor who was working on the tables, although they unexpectedly went back and reverted the tables to the original versions again. Instead of reverting them myself and running the risk of an edit war, I would like to reach a consensus here as to which style is preferable: ] (]) 21:26, 20 October 2014 (UTC)}} | |||

| I'm posting this here as follow-up to at the ] (now archived) regarding the use of parenthetical information in leads of articles on geographic places. There was a strong consensus there that parenthetical pronunciations and alternative names overload the lead and seriously hinder the readability of these articles, and that we should revise our guidance such that we recommend ''against'' including this information in the lead section (recommendations and examples were discussed in the original thread, please see there for more info). There was not a strong consensus, however, about where the information should be moved; either an infobox or an "alternative names" section of the article were discussed. | |||
| I propose that the Village Pump proposal be extended to apply to all articles, not just those on geographic places. As a recommendation, only certain specific information should be included in parentheses, such as: | |||
| *a person's date of birth & death, if known, ''not'' their age | |||
| *''one'' English translation, if the article title is in a foreign language and there is a notable English name (e.g. '']''), or include an English translations section if there are more than one notable translations | |||
| *an organism's scientific name, or its common name if the article title is the scientific name and there is only one, otherwise include a common names section | |||
| Otherwise, in the interest of readability, other relevant information is better off included elsewhere. In particular, pronunciations should not be included in prose at all - they would be better off in an infobox where readers could access them without breaking up the readability of the lead. I like the idea of foreign language names being listed in the main infobox, but they could be moved to an alternative names or foreign language names section just as easily, improving the lead. | |||
| Here are some examples in my userspace (I will ] them when this closes): ] <small>(])</small>, ] <small>(])</small>, ] <small>(])</small>, ] <small>(])</small> | |||
| I am aware that the choice of place names and article titles can be controversial, and I expect that disputes regarding naming will be settled by local consensus or our other processes. I also expect that the choice between infobox or separate section will be on a case-by-case basis, and there may be other appropriate solutions in some cases. With this proposal I am interested only in decluttering the lead, not in taking sides in any active disputes. I look forward to your comments. ] (]) 19:39, 20 October 2014 (UTC)}} | |||
