Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Wikipedia style and naming

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

Should 'Louisville' be used alone in titles for entities or disambiguated to be associated with Louisville, Kentucky? For example Central Station (Louisville), instead of "Central Station (Louisville, Kentucky)"? Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:48, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Evaluation of Vector 2022

Shortcuts

The purpose of this Request for Comment (RfC) is to improve Vector 2022 by gathering community opinions on its strengths, weaknesses, insufficiencies, etc., and ideas and proposals for concrete changes. 18:12, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)

Talk:Kosovo

In articles and in category names, should we primarily use Kosovo, Kosovan, Kosovar, or prepositional phrases (e.g. from Kosovo) as the adjectival and demonymic form of Kosovo's name? –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 11:45, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Phillips Academy

Should Phillips Academy Poll have its own section? Additionally, should the names of the founders of the poll be included in the article? Relevant references: WP:WPSCHOOLS/AG#OS, WP:WPSCHOOLS/AG#WNTI. GuyHimGuy (talk) 01:05, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Elements

Should the following inclusion criteria be adopted for the tables of isotopes in element infoboxes?

Element infoboxes and the heads of the coresponding lists of isotopes should include a short table of isotopes that satisfy at least one of the following properties:

Primordial nuclides

Cosmogenic nuclides and naturally occurring decay products

Nuclides used in nuclear medicine, in industry, or as radioactive tracers

Nuclear fuels and fission products

Extinct radionuclides

The three longest-lived isotopes of a synthetic element

Most commonly produced isotopes of a synthetic element

Other interesting nuclides, such as beryllium-8

For reference, the isotope tables look like this:

Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television)

The status quo results in article title examples like these: The Simpsons (season 8) and Hawaii Five-0 (2010 TV series, season 10) and Dancing with the Stars (South Korean season 3).

There is a rough consensus (see the RfC a few thread above this one) to change away from this, but not yet a consensus on what to replace it with. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 21:48, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for coment/Names of deceased trans people

Should the following be added to MOS:DEADNAME?

For deceased transgender or non-binary persons, their former name (birth name, professional name, stage name, or pseudonym) should be included in their main biographical article only if the name is documented in multiple secondary and reliable sources containing non-trivial coverage of the person.

This text was added boldly by different editors, originally in July and again in October, but was removed in December. 18:38, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
