Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Media, the arts, and architecture

• Talk:Xeni Jardin -- long dispute over the use of inappropriate sources, and a protected page. I justified my removal of the criticism section here, and that's where the most recent dispute begins. This badly needs a wider group of editors involved. 07:32, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
• Winter-een-mas I think there is a lot more information available now, and the subject is worth its own article again, as the CAD article doesn't have much detail. Our work on it has been reverted to a redirect again based on a previous decision I believe is outdated now. 03:49, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:Backwards man Looking for consensus about whether this article should stand alone, or be merged with Freddy Got Fingered 00:04, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:Asian fetish Lack of consensus, accusations of POV pushing; long history of problems (8 archived talk pages; 2 AfDs; controversial, POV and other tags; a neglected Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Asian fetish). 18:30, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:Joel_Leyden Content dispute concerning verifiabiliy and POV. 01:34, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:Chandrabindu (band). There's a content dispute concerning text that one editor considers to be weasel-worded and uncited, and (less importantly) disagreements over style. 19:21, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Lance Mazmanian What exactly constitutes notability, especially in relationship to awards? 23:52, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:Antony and Cleopatra Should a conspiracy theory about Antony and Cleopatra containing references to Freemasonry be explained on the page? 17:05, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:Ahmed Osman - A multiple-revert situation in which one editor wishes to use archaic spellings like Ægyptian while others wish to use modern spellings like Egyptian. 05:02, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:UGOPlayer - Which version ([1] or [2]) should be used, or which parts of each. Also, should a section on the forum of the site (Containing a list of the 5 administrators and a link to the history of the forum) be included? 23:01, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Neither ended up working. No need for comment any longer. 68.192.25.106 22:51, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:Lolicon - Should the link to the Renchan Lolicon Community (Note: viewing images at this site may be illegal in your jurisdiction) be kept in the article, or deleted? The site in question contains drawings of very young children naked, in suggestive poses, and/or engaged in sex.
• Image talk:DavidTibet.jpg. A dispute about whether the image qualifies for fair-use or not. IFD nomination gathered no discussion, hence the image stayed. Needs more debate than the two parties currently involved. 04:58, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:Clive Bull A dispute has arisen over an edit which a number of different IP addresses keep reverting, while other editors feel the new version is more neutral and encyclopaedic. This is the version suggested by Minglex, this is the version the IPs keep reverting back to. The dispute has been entangled with a hoax perpetrated on the article of fellow LBC DJ Iain Lee, in which one or more vandals went to elaborate lengths to convince other editors that Lee had come out as gay on air (he had not), including creating sockpuppet accounts and accounts that impersonated established Wikipedia editors. The sockpuppet and impersonation accounts took the side of the anonymous editors in this dispute. The anons claim to be editing from shared IPs and that this is coincidental. We need some more eyes on this in order to form an indisputable consensus one way or the other. --Sam Blanning^(talk) 14:57, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Does the image in JSTOR look better on the left side or right side of the page? Small question, 12+ month long debate. Your thoughts welcome! -- Stbalbach 18:24, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:The Romantics Grammar: "The Romantics is..." or "The Romantics are..."? 17:44, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:A Turning Point in National History. This is an article on a Dutch book with no English translation and someone therefore suggests it should be deleted because there is no verifiable English source. The counterargument is that that would mean there shouldn't be any articles on, say, English books in the Dutch Wikipedia. The preceding discussion has been very long, but this is what it has come down to now. 11:00, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:The Rolling Stones Grammar: "The Rolling Stones is..." or "The Rolling Stones are..."? 18:23, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:Lost (TV Series)-Episode Summary Trivia Dispute over whether or not a trivia element is verifiable and relevant in the context of a television show. Issue Summary 22:15, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
• talk:Nataliya Dmytruk (also see these comments in edit history). The subject of the article is a notable (see article) sign-language interpreter who works on television providing translation of the newscasts into the sign language (for the deaf viewers). Is it correct to add her to a cat:Journalists in addition to "cat:Television personalities"? Her notability, as well as belonging to the TV-personalities cat, is not challenged by either side. The dispute is only the applicability of the "Journalists" cat. One user persists in using cat:Journalists even after an uninvolved user prompted by WP:3O agreed that journalists cat isn't applcaible. 23:52, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:List of fighting game terms MegamanZero, a moderator, insists that fighting game terms, coined often by the players themselves should have references from official sources (which obviously don't exist anywhere). 01:03, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:Rich Fields User:BIZZREP insists on removing the "Criticisms" section. 19:18, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:Backing vocalist — a dispute concerning the status of "backup" and "background" alternatives. 09:14, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:Carlos Mencia Dispute over whether we can reference criticism Carlos Mencia has received from fellow comedians. 10:05, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:Astrud Gilberto I'm not sure how to deal with this. The singer's management agency is putting in their official version; how does one properly and nicely explain to a well-intended flack that Wikipedia is not for flacking? 22:43, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:Cult of the Dead Cow. This article has roughly a dozen categories. Are they all appropriate for they article, or are there too many? 12:24, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:Brent Corrigan. Folks can't get a grip that Wikipedia isn't censored for a celebrities whim. SchmuckyTheCat 18:51, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:LUEshi#Removal discussion. Dispute centres on the removal of information from the article which allegedly contravenes WP:NPOV, WP:V, WP:MOS and WP:EL. 19:56, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:List of songs deemed inappropriate by Clear Channel following the September 11, 2001 attacks - Debate over whether or not the list is an urban legend. One editor has cited sources saying it is not, the other says it is but has not cited sources. -- 02:01, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:Duke Nukem 3D - Should the article mention which port of the game is most popular? Is this information verifiable? 14:59, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:Verkhovna Rada building. Edit warring centres on whether the building belongs to the Neoclassical Stalinist architecture or not. --09:04, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:Celine Dion. About which name form should we use: "Céline" or "Celine". CG 09:21, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:The_Andy_Griffith_Show#New_.28Big.29_Problem_re:_Episodes_List - Complicated issue but basicly, there's always been one list of episoded for The Andy Griffith Show but it was named incorrectly. An attempt to fix the naming problem has uncovered a totally sepetat list of episodes that a single user created "privately" and has now moved it to the proper name. Two competing lists, but read the talk page to get the full details. 22:53, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:Bionicle - What fan sites deserve to be linked from a page? There's a lot of new users involved here, and several site owners are active in what is quickly becoming an (several?) edit war, and I don't have enough of a grasp of wikipedia's linking policy to really take any decisive action one way or another. 06:25, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Discussion appears to be more or less resolved. --InShaneee 18:36, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:Exit...Stage_Left - Vanity? I have a hard time tracking back if the author of the comment is an actual member of the band and I do not feel I have enough experience with Wikipedia policies to clearly edit out the last 2 paragraphs. Any suggestion? TheAnarcat 01:23, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Material in question has since been removed from the page with no apparent objections. --InShaneee 06:07, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:The Game (game) - Disagreement over whether "The Game" is best presented as an actual game or as a social phenomenon with some of the trappings of a conventional game. On another level, there is disagreement over whether the Game is actually a playable game, according to the conventional notion of what constitutes a game, or is a fundamentally unplayable spoof of a game that should be treated as such. 02:15, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:Clay Aiken - edit war between whether or not a small summary regarding an issue involving sexual allegations by John Paulus belongs on the Clay Aiken page with a link to the main article. Though a consensus on this issue has been vaguely reached by a majority who think it belongs, a section of his fans seems bent to keep this off the page and I'd appreciate it if a large consensus one way or another can be reached, preferably with a large margin, so the issue can be clearly decided. 10:37, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:Made2Manage Systems, Inc. - edit war between me who is trying to cleanup the article to wikipedia standards and an employee of the company who wants to add press releases to the article. Need other comments. --Sleepyhead 08:15, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:Opie and Anthony - edit war over whether radio DJ is dating a former listener who had oral sex with a former intern on the show. Possible negative influence from people reading [3]. Most of the relevant discussion is at "Spaz and Melinda's Lobster Encounter". Neutral voices needed! 03:46, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:Nashville Municipal Auditorium - Dispute over professional wrestling's role in the history of this storied arena. 16:14, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:Paul Robeson - A politically oriented edit war, needs some attention from unbiased editors. 04:08, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:9-11: The Road to Tyranny - Dispute over proper level of encyclopedic content for this article. Author has fought efforts to revise current version, which consists primarily of a detailed movie outline. Others believe that Wikipedia should not serve as a movie synopsis repository and given the lack of third-party sources (that were unable to be located by all parties during the AFD discussion) is better served as a redirect to the appropriate section in Alex Jones (journalist) than as a short stub with no citations. The section there discussing the film is the proposed alternate version of the article. --Mmx1 18:11, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:One Piece - Dispute over the name of a swordsman in a Japanese TV show. Those who favor the original, "Roronoa Zoro", argue that the name "Zoro" provides context for readers, implicitly identifying him as a swordsman (by association with Zorro), that the "Zoro" name reflects the original intent of the author, and that the "Zoro" name is in more common usage among fans of the show. Those who favor a transliteration, "Roronoa Zolo", argue that since the American translation of the show uses this name, and this is English Wikipedia, we should favor that version. All input is welcome. Nandesuka 02:25, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:Ross Hedvicek - several editors (including Ross Hedvicek himself) insist on removing critical POV and references from the article and insert positive statements. Edit war. --Wikimol 14:31, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Article and talk page appear to have been deleted. David Kernow 06:26, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• Suffer (album) — Was this Bad Religion officially released in 1987 or 1988? An anonymous user continues to edit war over those dates. Their official website claims it actually came out in 1987, but 1988 was printed on the CD release. Alex 101 01:29, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

• Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/ComoAnda - Question of web site notability of ComoAnda, a Spanish and English language search engine, as defined in WP:WEB Oceanrythm 00:05, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
