* ] - Inappropriate name by WP standards. Project name is derogatory toward a segment of society, on a par with ethnic and racial slurs. Discussed on talk page and suggested adoption of the established technical term "caviling" from philosophy and debate. Made change but had it reverted. 19:22, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
*] - A recent ruling by the Arbitration committee has been interpreted as authorization for a program to eliminate "American" dates from all articles not directly concerning "America", and as requiring "International" (i.e., British) Dates in all other articles, despite the ruling having indicated that one should "defer to the style used by the first major contributor", and that it "would be wrong to switch simply to change styles". Further input on this interpretation is requested. 00:30, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

*] has been suggested to be moved to ] several times, as cat flap is uk-centric, not as common usage, and obviously biased towards cats, while dogs use them as well. i see no good reason to not just move the bloody thing, aside from the gang of brits on the talk page who seem to obsess over this and impose their regional POV. ] 03:30, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

*] -- The page about running and jumping sports currently uses the "official" international name, which is all but unknown in common usage in the U.S. (where "athletics" means something completely different). Should the page keep the name ], or be called ]? -- 22:29, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
