  • Talk:Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - Should the controversy surrounding Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's anti-Semitic statements be omitted entirely from the article on this person?

We are either stupid censors of creeping fascism in the U.S. or stupid traitors who hate America. Help!11:56, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Is the proposed article as written on the Talk page Talk:Matt_Gonzalez#Proposed_Matt_Gonzalez_Article preferable to the current one, especially so in regards to the "Background" section?

  • Talk:Lieutenant Governor (Canada) Ardenn 18:27, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Eric S. Raymond Does Eric Raymond's quote about "cultural genocide" mean that he wants to do it, or only that he thinks readers will accuse him of wanting to do it?

  • Talk:Katherine Harris: Is it POV to mention that Harris came from a "wealthy and influential family"? 05:18, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Democratic-Republican Party (United States). A disagreement over whether this party should be referred to as "Democratic-Republican" or "Republican" (the latter is the original name, and increasingly used by historians, but may lead fo to confusion with the modern Republican Party).
  • Talk:Ronald Reagan: How can we achieve balance in an introduction summary. Weasel words regarding Reagan's impact - "Most historians", "a distinct minority".

  • Talk:Paul Wolfowitz - A template displays the fact that he's a Jew. Is this apropriate? -- 13:27, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Cuba Mediation has failed. Some users believe that Cuba should be presented in the opening paragraph as (A)"the only state in the western hemisphere which is not a democracy in addition to being the sole Communist State in the region". Other users believe that(B)"Cuba is a socialist republic, in which the Communist Party of Cuba is the sole legal political party" and that questions of democracy should be explored in the main body of the article. --Zleitzen 23:05, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:New anti-Semitism. Some users feel that: (A) the character of opposition to this concept is not being fairly represented in the introduction; (B) that perspectives on the concept are being arbitrarily restricted to exclude ideas other than the "new anti-semetism" emenating from the left wing anti-Zionists. 14:15, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Left Party (Sweden). General dispute over content of article. Unfounded POV statements, frequently pure fabrications, inserted regularily. Discussion on talk page tends to lean over to side-tracks rather than the article material at stake. 20:08, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Bernie Sanders Dispute over information added on Sanders relationship with Bush Adminstration. 07:45, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

A section on the talk page has being created to summarize the arguments. --19:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC), UPDATED 23:17, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Democratic peace theory. Three regular editors remain at perpetual loggerheads (often 2:1) over which sources to use, whether criticisms have been disproven or answered in part, and even what several sources say. There is much bad blood and has been an arbitration. A larger group of editors could help with the research chores, help establish consensus and reduce tensions.19:14, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Capital punishment#Wrongful killing rate: Should discussion of the wrongful killing rate be included in Capital punishment, or only in Capital punishment debate? (diff) 10:59, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Anarcho-capitalism#series_inclusion.3F: Whether or not Anarcho-capitalism belongs on Template:Anarchism under WP:NPOV. 22:04, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Martin Kramer#Israeli-American - should Martin Kramer be denoted as "American" or "Israeli-American" in lead sentence of article. Martin Kramer has not confirmed or denied in any material found so far whether he has Israeli citizenship -- thus no primary source is available. There exist secondary sources including two U.S. Middle East professors from reputable universites who claim he has Israeli citizenship. A few news articles in neutral and reputable publications also refer to Martin Kramer as "Israeli-American." The discussion is starting to deteriorate on the talk page. --02:59, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Dershowitz-Finkelstein_affair - Is citing sources without reading them "extremely widespread" in academia and is it original research to use two small studies of scientific papers to make that claim of historical writing? 08:37, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Ronald Reagan - Do the recent changes regarding Reagan scandals adhere to neutral point of view? 06:43, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Democratic Party (United States)#"Oldest Party In The World" - should the U.S. Democratic party be described as (1) the oldest party in the world, (2) one of, if not the oldest party in the world, or (3) one of the oldest parties in the world? 23:26, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Israeli_settlement - Julius Stone was a prominent international jurist, who in 1967 argued that the Israeli settlements were legal under international law. Julius Stone had a record of agreeing with official Israeli position on a number of issues. Should he be presented as "a prominent international jurist who had a life-long commitment to Israel" (my italic), or does this formulation unintentionally suggest that Julius Stone is prejudiced in favour of Israel? 00:40, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Note that the phrase had a lifelong commitment to Israel is not original but a quotation taken from the given official biography of the academic institution where he was employed, and which bears his name.15:58, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Anti-abortion movement - proposal of merger of page with both Pro-Choice and Pro-Life. Some feel anti-abortion can be included in both articles, others feel article should remain separate.

  • Talk:Pro-choice#Proposed overhaul and Talk:Pro-life#Proposed overhaul - overhaul of these articles for both stylistic/grammar and POV concerns resulted in reverts. Trying to reach a consensus on what needs changing. 01:43, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Al Qa'qaa high explosives controversy - a few substantive and categorizational questions that have turned into an edit war; these are explained on the talk page.--23:45, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:John A. Shaw - should relevant information be deleted from the article because it comes from an op-ed piece?--06:09, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Bill Graham - Should a biographical article acknowledge the existence of longstanding rumours about a public figure's sexual orientation? (Nobody thinks we should treat the rumours as true; the dispute is about whether WP should even acknowledge that such rumours exist.) 01:05, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Mohammed_Reza_Taheri-azar - Is Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar a terrorist? If not, is he even notable? 17:31, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Privatization - Is a conference on the Privatization of National Security notable? 15:33, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Universal health care - Dispute concerning what information should be included in the sections describing support for universal health care and opposition to universal health care. Which commonly cited reasons for and against universal health care should be listed? 04:02, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Arab-Israeli conflict - Dispute over how an image caption should describe the Arab-Israeli conflict. Caption may or may not be appropriate depending on Misplaced Pages:Captions, neutrality of content, and sources cited. Arguments include expanding the caption to include reference to Israeli-Palestinian conflict, limiting the caption to describe Israel without mentioning the religious nature of the conflict, and removing the caption altogether and moving the content to the lead section. Three competing versions of the caption may be viewed at Arab-Israeli conflict/temp and an informal poll has started in the section entited "RfC". 10:47, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:LewRockwell.com - Somewhat related to Tom G. Palmer below, we have an edit war involving factually incorrect material being restored, along with false accusations of vandalism against other users. 22:17, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Tom G. Palmer – There is a bit of a revert war going on related to the inclusion or exclusion of this link in the article's "External links" section: . Some argue that the tone of the content at the linked page is too informal and too hostile towards Palmer and is therefore unfit for linking from Misplaced Pages. Others argue that since the primary party responsible for that content is Stephan Kinsella, the blog constitutes a notable criticism of Palmer by another individual notable in the same realm of discourse as Palmer. Please advise. 21:10, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Category talk:Atlas Shrugged - There are 8 articles talking about various details within one book by Ayn Rand. In any other case, for any other book with similar notability and fame (ie. low), it would be deleted as fancruft. 23:34, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:2006 Iraqi beating by British soldiers video User:Striver insists on inserting Al Askari Mosque bombing under related material, making the implicit implication that the latter was also perpetrated by Westerners when no evidence supporting or contradicting that has been given. User is also insisting on inserting a blog quote that (in my view) is soapboxing by proxy. It is not incisive about the event and is editorializing on a grander scale using the event. 18:54, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Serbophobia Original research, insulting accusation and flame bait. Couple of users are pushing very offensive agenda without any sources or proofs for their claims. They are continually bullying other users and reverting article. 18:56, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Sweden Democrats — a number of editors, one a member of the party in question, others implacably opposed to it, have been fighting over the article for some time, and refuse to stop. The more editors involved the better, I think, so come one, come all. 15:36, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Annette Lu Whether Li Ao's allegation that the 3-19 shooting incident was intended to kill Annette Lu and her only belongs in the article. 22:18, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Catholics for a Free Choice Page editing is dominated by harsh critics. Repeated attempts to highlight secondary issue of rules for excommunication within Catholic Church. Page needs more balance. Several editors simply refuse to cite published sources.01:47, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Michel Aoun#Massive pro-Aoun bias. Concerns about neutrality, deletion of sourced material, reversion without participation in Talk, and inclusion of images with no copyright licenses.13:41, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Unitary_Executive_theory#Request_for_comment Repost because of continuing dispute and lack of response. In the article Unitary Executive theory, some editors feel the need to dismiss mentioning criticism of the UET because they assert that the presented sources are inadmissible. Can criticism be discussed? 14:41, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:MEMRI: This article contains criticism of MEMRI by historian Juan Cole (along with a response from MEMRI) Two editors also want to include criticism of Cole. Another editor feels that criticism of Cole is off topic and should be limited to the Cole article and that some of the edits are a misrepresentation of Cole's position. 16:36, 13 March 2006 (UTC). Note from another editor: Some brief background on Cole is helpful in putting his remarks into context, especially since although he is a historian and Arabist, his writings on MEMRI are all from his non-academic blog rather than any academic source. Editing on the MEMRI page has been uncollegial and contentious with one editor making very harsh and dismissive comments.
  • Talk:Melbourne University student unions: two editors who are litigants named (when not reverted) in the article are constantly reverting and rewording edits they consider critical of themselves (regardless of fact) or not critical enough of the liquidator, with whom they are in dispute. 04:03, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Talk:Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy - A dispute over whether the cartoons ought to be displayed on the page. 19:19, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Classical liberalism - two opposing versions of a page, competition over the actual usage of the term. 16:15, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Controversies about the Boy Scouts of America - Nice friendly discussion trying to reach NPOV, could really use some more eyes. Some editors feel old version was POV (too Pro-Scouts), some editors feel current version is too POV (Anti-Scouts) and should be reverted.03:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Gatekeeper (politics) - Question of notability of term and those using it; verifiability; appropriateness of mirroring a list of allegations made by those using the term. At least one WP editor on the talk page is mentioned on the article page. 01:37, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I've laid out my case on the article's discussion page. 02:36, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Talk:Militia (United States) - disagreement over how to describe certain source documents and studies.03:02, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Bosnian Genocide - Nonsensical discussion taking place while the article is disputed. If the tag is removed it will escalate into an edit war. 20:59, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Talk:Terrorism in Kashmir - User:Anonymous editor has repeatedly deleted referenced text on Terrorism in Kashmir. The text deleted can be seen here and on the talk page. The user is biased on this issue as can be seen by reading the talk pages on Kashmir articles. He deleted referenced material on Indian civilians that lost their lives due to terrorists, on the terrorist camps in Kashmir and Pakistan, on terrorist groups and on Hindus and Sikhs displaced from Kashmir due to terrorists. Deletion of referenced material need valid reasons. He deletes all the different changes by claiming that they're pro-India and pov. The editor who added the changes has left the Misplaced Pages project as a consequence. 10:27, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
