The following discussions are requested to have community-wide attention:

Talk:ExxonMobil

This article used to have a heading "Support for climate change denialism" which was removed or changed in this extensive edit. Should a heading called "Support for climate change denialism" be restored in the article? Note that there has been discussion of this issue with involved editors above on this talk page. Note also that we're not looking so much for votes here, as for in-depth comments on the content issues, and possible proposals of how the content should read. The RfC is posed as a question, but we welcome comments and new ideas as per the above section. SageRad (talk) 15:43, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Talk:2015 Chinese stock market crash

The section contained just daily stock quotes from Shanghai Composite Index (re-edit)before it was removed. Older quotes had been replaced by newer quotes. Shall we reinsert or omit the "Year on year" section? --George Ho (talk) 19:50, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Talk:List of best-selling music artists

As far as what I am seeing here, that this page is having some of its own policies for content that are way different compared to rest of the wikipedia. As discussed before,[1] one editor removed the source published by Wiley.com, a highly WP:RS,[2] because it is not a "news agencies, and/or music magazines such as Billboard, Rolling Stone", with relation to the 500 million sales figure about Beatles, while accepting[3] a totally non-expertised one liner about Elvis Presley having 500 million sales[4]. So we have two proposals here:- Remove 500 million sales figure regarding Elvis Presley, because it comes from a random source, having no expertise in sales estimates. or Include 500 million sales figure regarding Beatles, because it is backed by a WP:RS.

Talk:Socialism

Should the topic of this article be: One A socio-economic system where there is social ownership of the means of production and the ideologies and movements supporting it,[5] or Two The ideology and movement generally called socialist, which supports some degree of social ownership and/or control of the means of production.[6] TFD (talk) 08:34, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Monkey Kingdom

Expert attention requested also if somebody here reads Sinhalese readily. About a week ago, Ceylonpedia (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · edit filter log · block user · block log) added material to the article about destruction of a banyan tree during production of the movie. I rewrote a compromise version of the text, but Koala15 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · edit filter log · block user · block log) deleted it outright. The issue seems to be the Divaina story used as a source.[7] It's in Sinhalese, and I'm reading the Google machine-translated version of the text. As best as I can see, the newspaper is accusing the production company of destroying the tree. It's hard to tell if this is an editorial opinion or the result of journalistic investigation, but it feels like the former. So, that creates an issue of verifiability and self-sourcing. I'd like some fresh eyes to look at this and help determine a few things: Is Divaina a source we should refrain from using? If not, is it writing in editorial tone instead of journalistic? If it is editorial tone, can we use the material at all, or is it an unbacked allegation? Or, do we need to disclaim it by saying that the newspaper is making the accusation? Again, I think getting a few more editors involved would help, especially if they can read the article directly. —C.Fred (talk) 21:17, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Should the following sentence be added to the "Funding of global warming skepticism" section: In December 2009 Mother Jones magazine said ExxonMobil was among the most vocal climate change deniers.
