• Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style (Islam-related articles)#Manual of Style in Referencing Muhammad - There is some discussion over whether the Manual of Style should be changed to allow Muhammad to be referred to as the "Prophet Muhammad". 10:07, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Catflap has been suggested to be moved to Pet Door 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.

• Talk:Athletics#Athletics or track and field? -- 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 Athletics, or be called Track and field? -- 22:29, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:Lindy Hop and Misplaced Pages Talk:WikiProject Dance - Disagreement about whether the names of dances are proper nouns and should be capitalized. This started on the Lindy Hop article but has moved to the Dance WikiProject since it has ramifications for all dance articles. --Cswrye 14:37, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

• Portal talk:Taiwan There is a dispute about whether the portal should be named Taiwan or Republic of China, though more editor consensus would be appreciated and any links to policy stating which name should be used would be helpful. 16:42, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
• Talk:Democracy (disambiguation)#Weeding the links has a current debate over articles to link to for disambiguation purposes. Even aside from any content-type issues, there is what seems to be a fairly straightforward disambiguation style problem in a top-level page like "Democracy" deep linking to a number of individual articles on the political history of a specific country (i.e. Second Party System). One editor disagrees, and more views on this are requested. - 22:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

• Talk:Cities with the most highrise buildings – regarding how Hong Kong should be listed on the lists of cities with the most highrise buildings and cities by latitude. 13:38, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
