• Ann Coulter - how should the article handle Coulter's comments on Canadian television in which she claimed that Canada sent troops to Vietnam? Should a C-SPAN interview in which Coulter admitted being wrong about this be referred to in the article? Should a TIME Magazine article that mentioned the controversy be referred to and/or a FAIR report on TIME's article? See Talk:Ann Coulter 07:45, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
• Ben Thompson#Legend I have been unable to come to any agreement with User:TheEditor20 and associated IPs (84.9.66.118, 194.177.166.118). So, please may you comment on what you guys think should happen the section. Tried moving section to talk page, kept on being reverted, user now removed disputed tag. Also see incident page. 22:41, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Talk:Zodiac killer#Request_for_Comment:_Link_placement_in_Zodic_killer_entry Please comment on dispute involving link placement in Zodic killer entry. 18:19, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Radiohawk and Ken Hawk are potentially one and the same. While the article seems fairly neutral, I seek advice on how situations such as this are handled on Misplaced Pages. I have read WP:Auto --Silverhand 14:56, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

• Esai Morales - An editor who has made considerable contributions to the page now seems to be unwilling to accept a copyedited form of the article which removes several unsourced criticisms and comments about the subject's sister. 19:44, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Peter Roskam's (R-IL) Church Illinois Congressman Peter Roskam belongs to a contoversial breakaway sect of the Episcopal church known for its anti-gay views, and headed by a controversial leader who wants to imprison gays. How much of this church's stances should be included in the article? - 11:03, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Sexuality of Abraham Lincoln - to my mind, this is not neutrally written, and there are many citation needed tags, as well as disputes. I have added a {{totallydisputed}} tag, but it keeps being taken off by User:Wjhonson. I suppose I should also note that Jimbo Wales has already spotted this (it's how I found out about it), and he has written "No, it seems extremely biased to me. It looks like a legitimate topic, but as written now, it's a bit horrible". Now I'm not cowtowing to him as a God-king or anything, but I agree. 06:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

• Akon — Akon is a Senegalese-American singer, and in some interviews he has claimed his name is Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam. However, some users claim that is either nonsense or profanity in Wolof and can't be his name, but we can't find a ref saying that. Plus, he said it himself. What should we do? Right now I put in a questionable source saying his name is "Alioune Badara Thiam", which most commenters say is a more believable Senegalese name. --AW 23:12, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

• Abbas Kiarostami — the article's a bit of a mess, but there seems to be disagreement concerning what counts as PoV language and content (and what counts as copyvio). 14:32, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

• Talk:David_Koresh#Request_for_Comment:Kiri_Jewell_testimony - should the reference to Kiri Jewell contain unsourced allegations of perjury to Congress? 13:03, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

• Doug Gottlieb User:67.184.218.113 is using this article to defame a current ESPN personality. I have attempted to clean up the article, put in various references, but I believe the user should be censured in some manner. 04:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

• Doris Stokes - should she be described as a "self-proclaimed medium" or as a medium at all? What does the word "medium" mean? You decide! 06:52, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

• Shelley Sekula-Gibbs Getaway has recently broken the three strikes reversion rule, and has been generally editing the article considerably without any discussion. 23:10, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

• Talk:Prem Rawat#RFC Dispute about the article's lead. 23:34, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

• Stryker (disc jockey) Someone wants to use a petition from petitiononline (with 200 signatures) to show that listeners/fans don't like this radio co-host. Talk:Stryker (disc jockey) We're having a dispute.01:29, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

• Bat for Lashes I have added statements given by Natasha Khan in interviews to UK newspapers (e.g. growing up in Hertfordshire) and added her to the British Singers category. Mel Ettis has reverted my edits twice. I feel that as I have provided verifiable cites to interviews in British newspapers my edits regarding growing up in Hertfordshire are definitely acceptable, and that adding her to British singers is a reasonable assumption and in line with a fair amount of media portrayal as such. Discussion in the Talk page is in my opinion going nowhere. Average Earthman 10:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

• Ali Khamenei There are many things at Talk:Ali Khamenei talk page that I have a hard time including in the article.--Patchouli 05:23, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

• Kent Hovind; Talk:Kent Hovind. There is a dispute as to whether the is a NPOV dispute. One editor has placed a tag asserting that the NPOV of this article is disputed; at least three other editors, including an administrator has at one point objected to the adding of the tag. As of the post of this RfC, there is at least one clear objector to the placing of the tag. Comments are welcome. -Taco325i 01:03, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

• Talk: George W. Bush I am trying to start a discussion of removing the articles - George W. Bush's First Term as President of the United States and George W. Bush's Second Term as President of the United States - any comments about the reasons for the articles, reasons for removal, pros and cons of having such overlapping articles would be apprecitated there: Talk: George W. Bush. Thanks.-16:17, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
• Talk:Ward_Churchill#Request_for_Comment:_Verifiability_as_to_the_creator_of_the_Rosa_Luxemburg_drawing This is a dispute about whether the source provided for meets the burden of proof required by the Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines WP:RS, WP:V, and WP:CITE to support the claim that the drawing was created by Ward Churchill. The uploader of the image is a Wikipedian who claims to have obtained the image directly from the artist, but provides no evidence that the image has been published by a reliable source nor provides any way verify the claim as to the authorship of the work. 05:28, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

• Joe Volpe and Talk:Joe Volpe#Request for comments. There has been a content dispute on this article page for quite some time. A temporary consensus was reached in December, although it appears to have broken down now. Assistance is requested. CJCurrie 05:21, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

• The Bachelors. One of the original members of the Bachelors (Con Cluskey) has started editing the page. I have reverted some of his entries - specifically in the section headed “The Split and Beyond,” but Con Cluskey has changed the section back - however his re-writes have not been consistently the same information. I have left a message on his user page and further comments can be read on the talk page of the article. An independent review of the situation would be much appreciated. --Richhoncho 23:13, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

• Talk:Robert Latimer#Request for comments This is a request for comments on two issues in the Robert Latimer article:

1. Should the article state that Tracey Latimer was in incurable, excruciating and almost unrelenting pain, or should it state that Robert Latimer believed she was in incurable, excruciating and almost unrelenting pain?
2. Should the article describe the killing of Tracey Latimer as a mercy killing, or should it state that Latimer and his supporters consider it to be a mercy killing. 22:29, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

• Jane Hamsher -- Reversion by User:Spawnopedia of User:Kynn's edits to the entry. POV dispute. Should Hamsher's entry contain information on lawsuits regarding movies she worked on, including lawsuits which were not filed against Hamsher herself, all of which were (apparently) dismissed? POV problems were first raised on this part of the talk page, and then edits were made and summarized in this section of the talk page. Those edits have since been reverted, and debate has ensued. The parties involved have been unable to resolve the dispute. 19:43, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

• Talk:Shawn Hornbeck - A disagreement over whether to include the person's date of birth in the article. 04:40, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

• Talk:Anton Balasingham Debate over whether it is appropriate to call Anton Balasingham a terrorist.02:44, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

*Talk:Erich Laxmann - A disagreement between User:Bothnia and User:UtherSRG whether the article should be moved to Erik Laxman or not. The disagreement centers on what constitutes most basisi for common name. User:Bothnia argues that biographical sources and historical literature should be given preference when determining common names. User:UtherSRG argues that taxonomic literature determine most common name.--Bothnia 18:04, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

• Talk:Yisroel Dovid Weiss Revert war etc. ostensibly over whether he can be called a rabbi. Multiple re-inclusion of unsourced negative claims. Now at the stage where some editors won't let others make any edits to the page. (It's been going on since the article started, but maybe the last 2 sections or so are relevant now.)17:46, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
• Laura Sandys - It appears probable that the subject of the article has been editing it (see Talk:Laura_Sandys). I have reinstated some well referenced statements which were removed; and left other removed sections out. Any comments or actions by others to ensure compliance with Misplaced Pages's norms would be welcome. 03:28, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
• Richard Shaw Brown - The main contributor has admitted original research. Article has been tagged before for speedy deletion several times for original research and advert. Please have a look to see if the article is salvageable. See Talk:Richard Shaw Brown for more. 21:51, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
• Talk:Stephen J. Hunt - Whether or not to include Criticism of Prem Rawat, in which article subject is mentioned, in the See also section at article on sociologist Stephen J. Hunt. 19:39, 16 January 2007 (UTC).
• Talk:Michelle Rodriguez - Is categorization in Category:Bisexual American actors in accordance with policy? 17:02, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Now bumping this entry, as only one response so far, and article history shows a still ongoing edit dispute. More comments please? Sześćsetsześćdziesiątsześć 22:49, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

• Cristina Odone - this is a dispute over whether Odone was sacked from the Catholic Herald. This claim has a single source which both Odone and her husband Edward Lucas have disputed. 08:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
• Talk:Gordon Lish: single-author article that needs input from uninvolved editors. Is the assessment of notability accurate? 86.140.183.135 03:20, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

To clarify, there might be some WP:OWN going on here so input from others would be appreciated to develop consensus version of article16:37, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

• Talk:Elena Paparizou & Talk:Elena Paparizou: Should Elena Paparizou be referred as Greek or Greek-Swedish? She was born in Sweden, she is of greek ancestry (her parents are both Greeks who were born in Greece and migrated to Sweden), she now lives and works in Greece, she has said that she is not a Swedish but a Greek who was born and raised in Sweden.00:59, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Comment: This is not a neutral description of the dispute. All requests here need to be described in a neutral way, see the instructions. /Slarre 22:29, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I describe exactly how the reality is Sthenel 00:00, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Seems neutral enough to me. V-Man737 00:33, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

• Talk:Terri Schiavo - As of late the discussion page has been filled with the ramblings of a few flamers, and IMO they all need to be banned from Terri Schiavo-related articles. It is miserable trying to wade through the kbytes of flame trying to find intelligent discussions about actual issues. 08:50, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

• Keeley Hazell - Is she an English model or a British model? In all honesty I don't care which is listed, but apparently everyone else does, as there's been a revert war for months. What would be a good solution? 17:37, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
