Abortion
- Talk:Abortion/First_paragraph - There appears to be a conflict between content based on reliable sources vs. content that survives a contentious bipartisan debate that may or may not have sources. The result has been a lot of reversion, endless arguments over the definitions of basic terms, and allegations of sectional biases. More sources and neutral, outsider commentary welecome. 05:36, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Mathematics
- Mathematics RFC's should also be cross-posted and announced at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Mathematics

- Windows Aero and Windows Vista — several users are objecting to the addition of sourced comments regarding the similarity of the Windows Vista/Aero interface to the Mac OS X Aqua interface. While these similarities have been noted by many external reviewers, they are consistently deleting the references and sections and generally burying the discussion. -- Gnetwerker 20:23, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
- Computer wallpaper—User:0waldo tries very hard to put himself in wikipedia. He keeps adding a poor image that he created to Computer wallpaper. He's behaving completely unnegotiably, and even uses a sockpuppet. Most of his edits are vanity.—Snargle 03:57, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- Talk:Daniel Brandt - In a section devoted to this person's criticism of Misplaced Pages, should it be mentioned that he has been blocked from editing Misplaced Pages? 17:17, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

- Internet2 User:Striver is attempting to insert Alex Jones conspiracy pov under claim of NPOV, based on the following article. NPOV does not apply as Alex Jones's allegations have nothing to do with what Internet2 is, and is nothing more than rampant speculation about Internet2 being a state-controlled hub (any more than the Internet already is). -- 19:00, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
- Template:Quantities_of_bits and Template:Quantities_of_bytes - There appear to be a handful of people intent on removing the fact that bits and bytes use base 2 rather than base 10 for determining multitudes. i.e. They remove the fact that 1024 bytes is a kilobyte, despite the proof that most IT bodies (such as Microsoft, Sun, HP etc) all agree. -- 13:59, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

- Talk:Professional Engineer. Recent revert war reignited. User:Toiyabe claims that it is illegal to use the term Professional Engineer without a provencial/state license and advocates narrow treatment of the subject.

- Talk:Coandă effect/Talk:Lift (force): Coandă effect and Lift_(force)#Coanda_effect are in full contradiction. Both articles generally in need of expert attention (and copy-editing). --00:13, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

- Talk:Mnemonic#RfC:_How_should_WP:V.2C_WP:NOR.2C_and_WP:CITE_be_applied_to_unsourced_examples_of_first-letter_mnemonics.3F. The article contained about seventy-five unsourced examples of "first-letter mnemonics," probably representing a mix of well-known but uncited mnemonics, unpublished orally transmitted folk culture, and original creations. Should the WP:V, WP:CITE, and WP:NOR policies be interpreted as allowing such material, on the basis that it is self-verifying (i.e. anyone can see by inspection that the initial letters of "Kinky People Can Often Find Good Sex match those Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species, and the source of the mnemonic is of no practical concern)?
