Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Wikipedia style and naming

• Wikipedia talk:Spoiler warning - A dispute on the inclusion of spoiler templates and their effect and purpose for the encyclopedia. Massive discussions have resolved little and both sides have not yet reached an comprimise. Filing for the later steps in dispute resolution. -Randall Brackett 06:19, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
• Category:Anti-Semitic people -- Whether there is a dispute or not, more specificly if the category should use the {{CategorisationDisputedPeople}} template. // 18:01, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
• Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Proposal for section Percentages -- Whether to write out "percent" or use symbol "%" in article body. 07:13, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Proposal for section Numbers in words -- To clarify when numbers should be spelled out in words ("twelve") and when written as numerals ("12"). 07:13, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
• Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (links)#Proposal: Multiple linking if in different sections -- On linking more than once within an article, where appropriate, for readers jumping to a section via TOC or linked from another article or externally to a specific section, or where a topic more important later in the article than it is at the terms first usage 20:06, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#Using operational names is a discussion on when operational names can be used to refer to military conflicts. 18:06, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Portal talk:Taiwan There is a dispute about whether the portal should be named Taiwan or Republic of China, though more editor consensus would be appreciated and any links to policy stating which name should be used would be helpful. 16:42, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:Democracy (disambiguation)#Weeding the links has a current debate over articles to link to for disambiguation purposes. Even aside from any content-type issues, there is what seems to be a fairly straightforward disambiguation style problem in a top-level page like "Democracy" deep linking to a number of individual articles on the political history of a specific country (i.e. Second Party System). One editor disagrees, and more views on this are requested. - 22:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:Hong Kong – on whether Hong Kong, China, an article on designation and terminology, exist, or be merged and/or be made a redirect to Hong Kong or foreign relations of Hong Kong or elsewhere. Macao, China shares similar (if not the same) situation. 13:45, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

• Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style#Overriding_font-family - Should the manual of style proscribe the use of hardcoded font families (for example, in templates)? --Yath 14:34, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Template talk:Hong Kong (PRC) - How should Hong Kong and Macao be presented when it is necessary to mentioned their sovereignty. Similar templates include {{GUAM (US)}}, {{Åland Islands (Finland)}}, {{Cayman Islands (UK)}}, {{Jersey (UK)}}, etc. 19:20, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
• The question is whether names of standards and protocols, or terms defined by one or more standards and protocols, should be capitalized throughout, as Border Gateway Protocol and Universal Serial Bus, or whether they should be written in lower case, excepting the proper name parts, as Chomsky normal form, extended Backus–Naur form, interior gateway protocol, random access memory, etc. Current discussion is taking place at Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(capitalization)#Capitalizing_standardized_names_for_protocols,_etc. and Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(capitalization)#A_Few_Bits_Of_Data_(AFBOD). 13:54, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect Sidhoji Rao Shitole to Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath and protect (from future vandalism). These are two biographies on the same person. According the WP:Manual of Style for biographies, the article should go to the name by which the subject is most commonly known (Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath according to 2580 Ghits). The given-name article (20 Ghits) was up for AfD, but Stifle (talk · contribs) closed it stating "The naming dispute can, and should, be taken to WP:RFC. (Not WP:RFAR, who don't handle content disputes.)" [1]. --Hamsacharya dan 03:22, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Rebuttal - actually, Stifle (talk · contribs) closed it on the specific condition [2] that it be listed at requested moves, not here. I have done so. Any input or discussion should be directed to the article talk page. 04:21, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Actually he said that on my talk page, not on AfD. Hamsacharya dan 00:01, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:Parentheses Redirect to parenthesis or bracket. 20:48, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
