Template talk:Infobox economist
| Should this template have the parameter "influenced" (meaning those people who the economist has influenced as an economist)? And if it does, what criteria should be used to determine what names may be added to that parameter? LK (talk) 00:22, 7 July 2017 (UTC) |
| It has been pointed out that this is not the way to properly get a consensus, that a Request for Comment should be done.

| Multiple WP:RS call Donald Trump a Liar.
The article already acknowledges that many of his public statements are false. 1. Should the article assume intent and call statements lies, where justified and sourced by WP:RS? 2. Should the article follow WP:RSes, assume that Trump has an intent to deceive, and refer to him as a liar? For Reference: per https://www.merriam-webster.com/ Liar: a person who tells lies has a reputation as a liar Lie: to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive |
| This page needs to be updated with the new information. In 2011, the Mary Jane Girls began touring again with original member Candice Grant; along with new members Val Young and Farah Melanson. This lineup also received a honorary HAL Award. However when I try to update this page with that information, User:Binksternet keeps reverting it off the page. There are several websites (, , as well as their official facebook ) all acknowledge the new Mary Jane Girls lineup. Another group consisting of Kimberly 'Maxi' Wuletich and Cheri Wells are touring as "MJG feat. Original Mary Jane Girls Maxi & Cheri"., , I have also added this information to the page, but to no avail because Binksternet has also reverted that. Horizonlove (talk) 07:39, 6 July 2017 (UTC) |
| Context: There has been an infobox on this page from 2008 (with the page being created in 2003). Two editors above have suggested removal, with one going ahead and removing it.
Page with infobox Page without infobox Question: Should the infobox be removed from Harry Lauder? Also, what about a collapsible infobox? jcc (tea and biscuits) 12:36, 2 July 2017 (UTC) |
Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style/Biographies
Should the style of music be listed in the lead for singers primarily known for a single genre? And should the wording of the style guideline be changed to include what is agreed upon?
Please note the discussion that started above. JDDJS (talk) 22:23, 1 July 2017 (UTC) |
| Is the statement in the introduction of this article: 'Often considered the best player in the world and regarded by some as the greatest of all time' appropriate for C. Ronaldo?
Like I pointed out: you can find a 'source' for pretty much every claim, but making a statement like this in the introduction of an article gives it the impression as if it's the majority view and an obvious fact. I gave the - rather cynical - example of the painter Bob Ross. What if you can find someone who thinks Bob Ross is the greatest painter of all time, is that enough to make a statement like: some consider him to be the greatest painter of all time? This seems absurd to me, but it is the logical consequence if it's possible to say 'C. Ronaldo is the greatest of all time' when only one or two writers are claiming this. So when is it possible to make statements like 'regarded as the greatest of all time' or 'regarded by some to be the greatest'? When are the sources sufficient?

| There has been a dispute about edits made by myself from the subject of the article.
What do you think about the recent edits (resignation from liberal democrats and drink driving), Should they stay? Thanks. Moist towelett (talk) 01:16, 29 June 2017 (UTC) |
| I see there has been some scuffling over his inclusion in this article. I would argue he is worth inclusion, since he was part of a successful musical act and met WP:RY at the time of his death, but since there have been like 3 removals and reinsertions of him I'm starting a thread here to gain consensus.

| According to his New York Times obituary, he died in 1983 at the age of 45. It doesn't list a date of birth.
According to his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame biography, he was born in 1936, and died in 1983 at the age of 47. What should the article say? PS - be sure to read the threaded discussion below. Dlabtot (talk) 01:48, 24 June 2017 (UTC) |
This Talk page of Qaboos bin Said al Said has been rife over a long period of time with discussion of whether claims about the sultan's sexuality should be covered in the article. Numerous people have chimed in, and there is a history of deletions and reversions of those deletions from the article. To summarize the key points made by both sides:
One editor posted the issue to WP:BLP on June 12, now archived at Misplaced Pages:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard/Archive255#sultan qaboos al said. Discussion there occurred over only a single day, and then one editor unilaterally concluded that he was going to remove the material from the article. There have been three more reversions since then, and now yet another thread has opened, immediately above, on this Talk page. I figured an RFC was in order. Should the article include this material? How do Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines apply here? Largoplazo (talk) 14:25, 23 June 2017 (UTC) |
| There is a disagreement about the lead sentence of this BLP. Should the lead sentence state: A: "George Harrison, MBE (25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001) was an English guitarist, singer, songwriter, and music and film producer who ...", or |
