  • Talk:Avicenna - dispute arised over the inclusion of several verifiable references of Avicenna being described by some scholars of being of Arab descent, being an "Arab Galen", and being the "climax of Arab science". A sample diff of removed sources here. 01:31, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Purushottam Nagesh Oak long dispute/edit war about reliable souces for criticism of the Indian writer who claims that Christianity and Islam orginated from Hinduism, and that the Taj Mahal was once a Hindu temple. 00:47, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Talk:Danah Boyd Long dispute about the name of the article, idiosyncratic capitalization of her name is "danah boyd". The style guide is somewhat silent about this. I'd like to see the guideline be updated with some consensus in addition to this particular issue resolved. the lowecase version is possibly her legal name, and she is aware of Misplaced Pages's unwillingness to alter it. (She has edited) 22:54, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Master P Article is abhorrent, biased, unsourced. I'm not sure which parts of this article are up to Misplaced Pages standards. I have watched this article for a while and have seen no real improvements by numerous edits.20:46, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Marc Ostrofsky Article creator, who is also the article subject, objected to my cutting the article back to here:] and reinstated his preferred version. Which version should be kept? Thanks! - Richfife 18:58, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Talk:Lewis Libby#RfC Dispute about whether inclusion of Libby's religion has satisfied WP:BLP, and about appropriateness of including his specific house of worship. Notmyrealname 02:36, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Talk:Abu Zubaydah#RfC_on_article 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? 03:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Talk:Stephen Barrett#Request for comment: Board certification - Disagreement over whether Barrett's board-certification status is relevant or notable enough to include in his article. 18:08, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Talk:Pearse Jordan#British army fired CS gas into the family home - Disagreement over whether a source (Tirghra, "a book honouring 364 IRA volunteers who lost their lives during the Troubles" ) is a reliable secondary source, or an unreliable primary source. No previous familiarilty with the book is required. 22:42, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Talk:Manfred_von_Richthofen#Jewish_ancestry.3F A very heated argument/Edit war involving suitability of a reference and much uncivil behavior from multiple parties. 00:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Ward_Churchill - Disagreement over inclusion of Churchill in Category:Conspiracy theorists. 13:29, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Talk:Israel Shahak#Request for Comment A discussion is ongoing as to whether recent changes improved the neutrality. Input would be appreciated. 18:36, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Talk:Paul_Myers_(record_producer)#Request_for_Comment There is some disagreement over the biography of this individual, and to what extent it should include all this person's work, his commercial services, industry awards, etc. 18:30, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Talk:Yisroel Dovid Weiss#Request for Comment: Repetitious/excessive criticism? Dispute over whether approximately two thirds of the article should be taken up with criticism of Rabbi Weiss, is most of said criticism repetitious and/or tangential? 13:54, 9 March 2007 (UTC) Bumping, hasn't been much response. Added specific proposals here.17:04, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Talk:Reza Shah#Request for Comment - Dispute over whether a section detailing the subject's dealings with Nazi Germany is based on Allied propoganda or not. 22:31, 15 March 2007 (UTC) Dispute over whether a section detailing the subject's dealings with Nazi Germany should be included or not. 22:55, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Talk:Michael Cherney - Several anomalies here. A team of editors has been excising all links and information that shed a negative light on Cherney's activities. On the other hand, an anon has recently added some questionable personal information. I am concerned that the article has been penned and patrolled mostly by PR people who wish to present Cherney in the best possible light, possibly at the expense of Oleg Deripaska. See also the gushing prose at Michael Cherney Foundation. 09:11, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Talk:Kent Hovind#FreeHovind.com - Some editors removing all "pro-Hovind" links while keeping lots of "anti-Hovind" links, while others view this as biased and trying to make it look like Hovind has no support 01:22, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
