*] - Should information on the "Holocaust on your Plate" exhibit be put in a separate article, put in a separate section in the PETA article or left as it is without a heading under "Campaigns"? ] 23:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
{{rfcquote|text=
*Several inter-states relations pages. For instance:
The lead shall be changed from <u>The Huddersfield child sex abuse ring was a group of British Asians who were convicted of sexual offences against girls in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom.</u>
**]
**]
:'''Not sure where to put this''' I'm posting this here and at ]. There are several articles about inter-state relations (e.g. ]), but no clear naming convention. For instance, why is this article not ]? I have proposed a solution, but I'm not sure what everyone else thinks about it. From ]:
:The only thing that makes any sense to me is to take their shortform names in English and use alphabetical order. "African-Chinese relations," "Sino-Russian relations" (from "Chinese," of course), but I'm not sure what to do with America. I guess we would use the shortform name "United States" rather than "America," making "Iranian-American relations" and "American-Vanuatan relations."
:There is not a dispute ''per se'' about the names, but I suppose I'm not clear on them and there is no obvious standard (although the alphabetical seems obvious to me.) Anyway, can anyone help me out here? 16:49, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
*] (article protected) and ]. Dispute over the status of the Gaza strip as a concentration camp. 09:57, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
*]. there are various disputes over the content in this IMPORTANT article. 23:09, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
*] - There is an ongoing dispute over wording of the introduction to this article. Despite numerous attempts at a compromise version a core group of users will not budge and constantly bring up new issues. Outside help would be beneficial in resolving this.05:25, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
*] - There is an ongoing dispute about POV and the correctness of moving "(qualified) term" mentions to a separate article. Especially look at "Major page revamp" and "Neutrality dispute" sections. 20:15, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
*] A reference in the article whether Wu should be referred to as Chinese American or Taiwanese American for consistency and NPOV. ] 00:55, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
*]. Some people say that ] should be disputed as anarchism. I have provided three highly reputable sources to dismiss all their arguments. I am afraid that an error war will ensue if I were to change the template... 21:22, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
*] - Merger of this article into Zarqawi article. Debate points are listed ] Please vote or comment. Thank you - --<span style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva; font-size: 11pt">]</span> ] 12:46, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
*], in particular ] ] sections - On how to present controversies among libertarians. 10:36, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
*]] - Dispute over whether Beijing is a hub of rail transport of mainland China or a hub of the PRC, and over how to describe the border. 19:52, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
*] - On how to present the definition of ''international'' for the specific entries. 19:08, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
*] and ] Should Criticism be merged back to main article. The Criticism article survived specifically because the main article, ] was too long, employed ] and an effort was underway to shorten the main article. Once Criticism was removed from the main article to the child article, a group of editors decided that no more summary was needed. A POV fork was created after the article had survived AfD, but editors wouldn't let the content be merged back to the main article. Now the Criticism article is being blanked. 23:35, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
*] Whether or not Spain and/or India should be considered blue water navies. 05:15, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
*]. Not entirely sure if this belongs under Politics. Local figure, former academic, ran for mayor in 2005. Dispute between editors as to what should be included and whether what is included is referenced. 04:12, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
*], ]. Should the term "collectivism" be included in the core definitions. Hinges on whether or not this specific term is used by most scholars of fascism, or by a minority; and if the term "collectivism" is historically used in a POV way in an attempt to link fascism to all forms of government regulation of the economy. No one is disputing that under both Fascism and Nazism the state asserted control in a way that diminished individual rights.13:24, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
*] How should this article convey this concept and phrase originally coined by Karl Marx. And should original research be used to show examples of this concept or should examples be strictly sourced from notable outlets.00:44, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
*] - Should there be an article on the general topic of Liberalism, or are the uses of "liberal" so diverse to warrant turning this into a disambiguation page? 07:20, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
*] - The template has been protected until somesort of agreement can be reached, but the discussion since then has mostly been a stalemate between ] and ], and could really some extra input. 03:18, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
*] - How best can we incorporate criticism of Rice from members of the African American community and responses to that criticism? --03:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
*] - Should we mention a report in the ] that claims Israel was developing an "ethno-bomb"? --01:05, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
*] - Should the primary information on the phrase "Apartheid wall" be in ] or in ]?
*] - Dispute over content, definition of term, relationship of cited sources to accuracy of summaries of those sources, POV, what should be covered and what should be deleted, appropriateness of major deletions, and more.13:10, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
*] Dispute over introduction of a section dealing with reviews from third party sources critical of contemporary critics of Islam. Many critics of Islam have been controversial because of their alleged prejudices or political agendas. Disagreement is on whether information that would shed light on such 'criticism of critics' is appropriate in the "Criticism of Islam" article. Since much of the criticisms of these personalities are founded in their political motivations, this comment is appropriate here. 19:20, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
*] What is this? I came across it randomly. I was going to delete but I'm trying this first. I left a message at the ] talk page but no replies so far. It isn't mentioned in that article. Is this just a delete? 15:37, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
*] The article is/was split from ] and contains only the information related with Serbia (and Montenegro) team since 1992. However, FIFA (unlike most other international organizations) accepts the continuity of Serbia and Montenegro (now Serbia) national football federation to the one from ]. There is a dispute whether the team records should reflect only the period from 1992 onwards, or also the period from 1919-1992. 12:07, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
*] Detained on June 26 for three hours at the airport with a container of Viagra marked with the name of the doctor who prescribed it and not his name. The Sherrif's Department of Palm Beach County investigated and announced on July 5 that there would be no action taken against Limbaugh. Is this incident encyclopedic? 02:25, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
*]- Should the 2003 US invasion of Iraq should be listed as an "Illegal War of Aggression"? In general, what should be the criteria for inclusion in the list? 09:38, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
*] - is using the name of an "outed" blogger a violation of ]? Is information resulting from said outing encyclopedic? --14:59, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
*] - Content dispute. Appears in part to be issue of misunderstanding English translation of French words: "Nouvelle Droite" as opposed to English use of term "New Right." The ] page already exists. In English, "Nouvelle Droite" is only used to describe French or European movements. I cannot get user ] to comprehend the language issue, and we are involved in multiple page name and content disputes, so I doubt I can resolve this without help.19:46, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
*] - article felt to be in need of a general reorganization along national lines, recognizing that conditions are different in each country 22:57, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
*] Not a content dispute, but ] has been continually attempting to restructure the talk page, and is now adding a lengthy poll to the foot of each talk discussion, despite comments from many users that he is causing chaos on the page and repeated requests that he give up his "experiment".15:33, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
*] and ] is the site of various polls on reorganizing, renaming and/or merging ], ], ], ], ] and ]. 02:32, 29 June 2006 (UTC) (An anon did some confusing moves here, and I'm untangling them. Check both pages listed. Thanks.)--] 04:33, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
*] - Dispute over inclusion of an external link to the main article. It has been reverted a number of times, and keeps being removed by IP posters. Much vitriol and personal stuff in the talk page. I don't think this can get resolved without external help 06:04, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
* ] - some possibly POV language has been inserted into the article; two editors who have been at odds for a while could use some extra unbiased eyes. 00:14, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
* ] - There has been a lot of trouble in coming to consensus over how the introduction should be worded. I think some fresh points of view will hopefully help resolve this. This dispute continies for a long time, so I decided to restart this RfC, as it still has not been resolved. 06:25, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
* ] Accusation of pro-Rotarian attempts to subvert neutrality of page. Basically an edit-war. 23:05, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
* For months a small group of people is trying to include the war in Iraq as ''part of the War on Terror''. Despite numerous editors telling them that using such a phrase is a statement of fact and a violation of NPOV which says that we should not be advocating one side of a debate. Therefore I started a proper RFC (]) to ask people to look at the situation, review the previous discussions and leave a comment as to what they think about the invasion of Iraq(]).08:08, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
*] - discussion about whether to include criticisms of the paper by a political action group. Also in the Media section but I'm relisting it because we really need some outside opinions on this one other than the four people engaged in argument. 04:48, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
*] is unlikely to make anyone particularly happy, but needs a lot more sets of eyes to turn it into the quality of article that I envisioned when I started it. Talk page comments hint as to how it became something of a jumble. 23:01, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
*] has a current debate over articles to link to for disambiguation purposes. It seemed to be a fairly straightforward disambiguation style problem that a top-level page like "Democracy" shouldn't be deep linking to a number of individual articles on the political history of a specific country (i.e. ]). One editor disagrees, however, and seemingly on more than just disambiguation grounds, so more views are requested. - 22:41, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
*] &ndash; regarding how Hong Kong should be listed on the lists of ] and ]. 13:38, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
*] -- There is a revert war going on. Two editors cannot agree on whether or not to add translations directly in the article. 06:28, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
*] -- Two editors disagree about article content and acceptable sources 16:29, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
*] -- Two editors disagree about article content and acceptable sources. 16:29, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
*] -- There is a debate on whether to consider the European Union a superpower and whether the United States should not be called a superpower. 06:42, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Abdel Fattah el-Sisi

The opening to the Abdel Fattah el-Sisi article read:

Abdel Fattah Saeed Hussein Khalil El-Sisi (born 19 November 1954) is an Egyptian politician, dictator, and retired military officer who has been serving as the sixth and current president of Egypt since 2014.

(The word dictator been been removed for now while the RfC discussion takes place)

Should Sisi be referred to as a dictator? Some of these options are not mutually exclusive, so more than one can be selected:

  • A. Yes he should be, in a similar way as described above or found in the the leads of Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, Kim Jong Un, Hafez al Assad, Pinochet
  • B. No he should not be, but he should be described as an authoritarian ruler, leader of an authoritarian regime, or leader of a military dictatorship somewhere in the lead, similar to the leads of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Mohammed bin Salman, Ilham Aliyev, Isaias Afwerki
  • C. No he should not be, but some variation of "Many observers see Sisi as a dictator" should be included in the lead.
  • D. No he should not be, and he should not be described as an authoritarian ruler. Instead, different arguments regarding his form of rule should be summarized in the body.
  • E. Other (please elaborate)

Talk:Donald Trump

The current lead contains a simple mention of Trumpism. Should a brief description be added to this mention? A proposed wording for the added text, which is also up for debate here: characterized by right-wing populism, "America First" nationalism, and economic protectionism.Goszei (talk) 04:51, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
