*] The usual Hindu/Muslim thing. Some pretty nasty stuff is being alleged with (in my view) the purpose of whipping up religious tensions and inflaming hatred. I have tried to point out that much of the negative propaganda about Tipu stems from the work of British historians in the twenty years or so after the fall of Seringapatam, when they had a vested interest in painting as black a picture of Tipu as possible. I have been endeavouring to remove references to religious polemic and replace them with scholarly sources, whilst pointing out that the projection of a stark Hindu/Muslim divide into the past is anachronistic.

However, a number of users have strongly opposed this change and feel that the article should stay as it is. 09:09, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

The following discussions are requested to have community-wide attention:

Talk:Constantine XI Palaiologos

Should we use the fresco as it was in the source, or the version slightly cropped and colour adjusted by User:Tintero21? 💖平沢唯を愛してる💖 (talk) 01:43, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Talk:2025 Canadian federal election

Should the People's Party of Canada be included in the tables of the political parties standings section & the transposed 2021 results sub-section? GoodDay (talk) 21:44, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Talk:Joe Biden

The current single sentence on Gaza in the lede is as follows: During the Israel–Hamas war, Biden condemned the actions of Hamas as terrorism and sent military aid to Israel, as well as humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. The sentence is regularly modified, including the word "limited" which keeps being added/removed in front of "humanitarian aid". I started a discussion on this topic a while ago; it didn't get a lot of input and didn't lead to a consensus. I thought this RfC could generate a larger discussion and settle a few related questions at once:
  • Should the "military aid" and "humanitarian aid" be mentioned side by side as is?
  • Should we mention that the amount of military aid sent to Israel is a historical record?
  • Next to the mention of military aid, should there be a mention of allegations of war crimes against Israel?

Feel free to expand the discussion to other questions. My hope is that we can workshop a sentence that has a consensus behind it. Thanks! WikiFouf (talk) 13:58, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Talk:Estado Novo (Portugal)

I'm opening a new RfC in an attempt to permanently solve this dispute. Should the Estado Novo regime be considered fascist? -- 2804:29B8:5183:100C:7163:1F92:A81A:7841 (talk) 00:06, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Should MOS:CENTURY specify the start of a century or millennium as a year ending in 1 (e.g. the 20th century as 1901–2000), as a year ending in 0 (e.g. the 20th century as 1900–1999), or treat both as acceptable options with the use of hatnotes for clarity in the case of ambiguity in articles? See the discussion above. Chessrat 14:57, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Talk:List of military engagements during the Israel–Hamas war

There have been several discussions opened in the past regarding this article's content and overall scope. Several wars have a list of military engagements and battles. Examples include: World War I ("Military engagements"), World War II ("Battles"), Russian invasion of Ukraine ("Military engagements"), Sudanese civil war ("Engagements").

The Israel–Hamas war is no different with this article. However, unlike all the other list of military engagement articles, this article has a ton of clean-up templates including lack of sourcing, MOS, and scope issues.

So, with all that background, let's have a discussion on what the scope of this article should include, or more specifically, what is a "military engagement" during the Israel-Hamas war? Are "Battle of ...." engagements? Are airstrikes engagements? Should the article's scope be redefined away from "military engagements" to just "engagements"? Ect... The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 17:45, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Talk:September 11 attacks

I'd like to understand why we don't keep this photo collage much more representative than the image montage in the article at the moment. The main image I suggested is obviously better in terms of framing and resolution, as well as showing the exact moment when the second plane crashed into the WTC. Chronus (talk) 21:29, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Second Nagorno-Karabakh War

What should the infobox indicate as the location of the hostilities?

Please enter Option 1 or Option 2, followed by a brief statement, in the Survey. Do not reply to other users in the Survey. Back-and-forth discussion may be conducted in the Discussion section. Grandmaster 16:18, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
