• Talk:Fear: Anti-Semitism in Poland after Auschwitz Is it appropriate to use a representative quote by the book's author stated it's main thesis, as well as quotes from favorable book reviews, even if some editors find the POV of the book objectionable? Boodlesthecat 16:21, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
• Talk:Roman Empire#Western Roman Empire Should the infobox in the "Roman Empire" article list an end of the Empire in the fifth century, or the fifteenth? Brando130 (talk) 02:27, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
• Talk:Neptune (mythology)#Pertinence? An ancient statue of the god Neptune was recently found in the Rhone, should it be mentioned in the Neptune (mythology) article? 14:20, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
• Talk:Chetniks#Deleting of USHMM pictures The disagreement is if we can have USHMM pictures in this article. 09:14, 17 May 2008
• Bogislaw vs Bogusław, Stettin (Szczecin) vs Szczecin etc how to apply Gdansk rule and WP:NCGN to the duchy of Pomerania 08:55, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
• Haaretz calls it "Shattering a 'national mythology'" -- whether to reference modern historians, an Israeli newspaper and (at least one) recent academic book claiming there was no widespread exile from Israel (Palestine) in 70CE and 135CE under the Romans. 13:47, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

• Talk:Singapore Airlines destinations Should Atatürk International Airport be listed as an Asian or as a European destination?
• Talk:Bogan#RfC: Is Renaming Article Title Acceptable to Distinguish Cultural/Geographic Sub-class from Persons, Family Names, and Locations? The article "Bogan" describes a pejorative usage in Australia and New Zealand. Does this use of the primary title and its capitalization subordinate the people with Bogan as a surname and geographic entities listed under Bogan (disambiguation) which may predate the Australasian usage?
• Talk:Hogenakkal_Falls#RfC:_Location_of_the_falls There is disagreement on how the location of Hogenakkal Falls should be described. One editor advocates "in Tamil Nadu". Another editor advocates "on the border between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka".
• Talk:Ypatingasis būrys#Another round of original research The disagreement over sentences involving possible original research.
• Talk:Controversies about the 2004 Madrid train bombings Should this section be temporarily removed while POV issues are treated?
• Talk:Kosovo Liberation Army The disagreement is whether and how allegations of organs trafficking by Kosovo Liberation Army should be mentioned in this article.
• Talk:Vehicle registration plates of Georgia (U.S. state) To split into multiple articles or not?
• Bahrain - The history section may have a lot of NPOV problems in terms of presentation. For example, the issue of "independence" in 1700's is disputed, yet presented as a fact, and much of Bahrain's long non-Arab history has been neglected or suppressed, at the cost of undo coverage of the the post-Arab history.
• Talk:Land_of_Israel#The_Bible-history.com_map:_RFC - Removal of map on RS, V, Fringe, and Undue weight grounds, pro and con
• Talk:North Korea#RfC:_Article_POV_and_ELs - I'm requesting for comments on the changes I made to remove the POV tag and on the EL conflict
• Talk:Science_in_Medieval_Western_Europe#PROD proposal - Is it appropriate to rename "Science in the Middle Ages" to explicitly specify Medieval Western Europe and turn the "Science in the Middle Ages" into a more generic article on science in the time period as a whole?
• Talk:Srbosjek (knife)#RfC: external links are very serb ultranationalist POV – The issue is in fact whether the content of the article is not just a rumour spread by nationalists.
• Talk:United_States_presidential_election,_1960#Cause_for_Kennedy_win - Searching for larger reasons for Kennedy win - looking for an objective historical analysis, not political opinions. Listed at RFC because no one is watching page.
• Talk:Kannada literature The first inscription in the Kannada language of South India dates to 450 CE; the first extant literary work dates to 850 CE. The literary work, however, mentions previous works that have been lost. At issue is the question of when the literary tradition begins.
• Talk:Creation of Yugoslavia#"Vojvodina" question Do we need to have 2 sections about 1 province ? Vojvodina has not even voted for entering Yugoslavia but vote has been made by Banat, Bačka and Baranja !
• Talk:Vehicle registration plates of Georgia (U.S. state) - I am concerned about the creation of subarticles on several of these state pages under Vehicle registration plates of the United States. Should we have subarticles or just keep the information in the main article?
• Talk:The King's School, Chester#Despite discussion, how can the continuing dispute about adding the CCF past and present leaders in a series of lists be resolved? - ongoing edit warring over the addition of lists of information about past officers of the Combined Cadet Force of the school.

• Talk:Zaporozhian Cossacks This statement is supported by Catherine's II manifesto and in historiographic literature

• Talk:Old Style and New Style dates Suggested merge of the new article dual dating into Old Style and New Style dates
• Talk:South Asia Should Tibet be here? Many academic sources say Tibet is South Asian. Also should this article be strictly geopolitical in its definition of South Asia?
• Talk:Army Groups of the National Revolutionary Army Is the accurate translation of 集團軍 as 'Army Group' or 'Group Army'?
• Talk:Mercia Which map should be used for this and related medieval England articles?
• Talk:Psychohistorical views on infanticide This article seems to push a fringe POV, in effect promoting one person's view of things. If this concept is used by historians, does this article provide an acurate NPOV account of it?
• Talk:Psychohistory This article seems to puch a fringe POV, in effect promoting one person's view of things. If there is a real branch of history called psychohistory, does this article provide an acurate NPOV account of it?
• Talk:Bosnian mujahideen A recent AfD ended with no consensus for keep or deletion. Many participants in the discussion recommended renaming/moving the article. Outside opinions are needed to help establish broader consensus and move the discussion forward.
• Talk:Mersey Forest Lets have a discussion about the suitability/notability of the Mersey Forest for Misplaced Pages - either on its own or in the context of the community forests

• Talk:Pelasgians#RfC: Pelasgians Albanian section. Heated disputes on article talk page and in its archives indicate that talk page discussions have not resolved the Pelasgians#Albanian section issues which recur. Concerns seem to center on whether the content in the section is accurate, balanced, neutral, and appropriately verified by reliable sources.
• Talk:Alexander the Great Opened by request of PelasgicMoon on IRC (namely #wikipedia-en-help & #wikipedia-medcab), who believes that the article introduction is misleading, and wishes the phrase "Ancient Greek King of Macedon" changed simply to "King of Macedon".
• Talk:New_England_Interstate_Route_8. The pages are called New England Interstate Route, which is the historical route from 1922-1926, not to mean a combination of current routes in New England. See http://www.roadgeek.org/nehwys/ for the old system.
• Talk:British Isles. Many reputable sources describe the term "British Isles" as one that is often objectionable or offensive to many Irish people. In addition, there are reputable sources that say that the Irish government discourages use of the term and regards it as a misnomer. The dispute about the name has previously caused a whole content fork article to be created. Some editors are now deleting any text that reflects the reputable sources, apparently on the grounds that they don't like what the sources say. A version with the references is here 11:29, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
• Talk:Silver Spring, Maryland#RFC for The Silver Spring Penguin Does The Silver Spring Penguin go against WP:EL as a blog, or is it a legitimate news site? 23:48, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
• Template Talk:Italian people#Historic populations outside Italy While many of the groups can be termed as "native" groups of Italians outside of Italy, the ones closely tied to colonialism and Italia irredenta seem to be POV. Dionix (talk) 19:15, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
