Hi editors, this is regarding wether the article should include the quote from Zhou Qufei, Lingwai Daida or not. The quote has been disputed, since there are no consensus between Merzostin and Nitekuzee, RfC seems to be the best course of action. Merzostin (talk) 15:56, 11 April 2024 (UTC) |

Talk:2024 United States presidential election
There is currently an edit dispute on whether Kennedy Jr. should appear in the infobox of states that will likely not receive polling in the 2024 presidential election or have not been polled yet.
Option #1: Kennedy Jr. should appear in the infobox of every state he has ballot access in. Option #2: If the aggregate state polling shows Kennedy Jr. under >5% or >10% (whatever is determined by the RFC): then he shouldn't be included. If no polling has been done or he is above 5-10%, then he should be included. Option #3: Kennedy Jr. should not appear in the infobox if polling of the state has not been performed. |

With regard to WP:Verifiability, WP:NPOV, and current academic consensus, should the article present the Reconquista as a matter of historical fact at face value or as historiographical narrative?
This has been a perennial discussion (such as here), and the article would benefit from some stabilizing, somewhat binding consensus. I am hoping for robust engagement with the latest scholarship and the most reliable sources. إيان (talk) 20:11, 29 March 2024 (UTC) |

The last paragraph on the Presidential Commission of Inquiry currently reads:
One editor wants the last paragraph to be changed to the following, as he believes both the Kearney and Manogaran sources have "accepted" the reasons attributed by Sansoni for the riots, whereas other editors believe that those sources are merely summarising Sansoni's reasons, and are not personal approvals. Do you agree with the proposed change below?
