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

Talk:Department of Politics and International Studies, University of Cambridge

A recent, informal discussion produced a lot of opinions but no clear consensus.

Should the "notable people" section in this article be:

• A: Deleted
• B: Kept as a bulleted list of notable people
• C: Converted to prose description / narrative list of notable people
• D: Converted to prose description / narrative list and limited to the following people: ______, ______, _______, etc.
• E: Something else

(I included the above options as those that appear to have been supported by at least one person in the informal discussion. My apologies if I missed or misrepresented something.) Chetsford (talk) 20:11, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Template talk:Discrimination

There is an ongoing dispute about whether some articles detailing discrimination to certain ethnic groups (Anti-French sentiment, Anti-English sentiment, etc.) should be included in the template, the main argument against their inclusion being that sources should directly state whether the pages are about discrimination. Should these pages be included or not? —TwinBoo (talk) 17:10, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Talk:List of 2022 FIFA World Cup controversies

Should this self-published image File:Slave Labour ahead of 2022 FIFA World Cup.jpg be displayed in this article? إيان (talk) 11:41, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Australia

There is an ongoing editoral dispute (including on the talk page above) on whether Australia's actions against Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders can be described in the article as genocidal or simply the product of disease and mutual conflicts. A consensus could not be reached so I am asking for non-involved editors to comment. OntologicalTree (talk) 00:24, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
