The following discussions are requested to have community-wide attention:

Talk:2019–20 coronavirus pandemic

Are coronavirus maps, should we use Our World in Data as a reliable attributable source, or should we be making calculations not yet published in reliable sources? --Almaty (talk) 14:06, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Late onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia

Should Late onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia (currently a stub) be merged into a "Late-onset" section of Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (similar to the one on Congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency)? · • SUM1 • · (talk) 18:05, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Ronald Reagan

Should the lead section of Ronald Reagan include the following?
  • A clause in the sentence on Reagan's first term stating that during said term he largely ignored the burgeoning AIDS crisis.
  • A sentence (immediately preceding the ones on USSR) stating Reagan resisted calls for stringent sanctions against the apartheid regime in South Africa and vetoed a sanctions bill but was overridden by Congress.

Citations for both additions would be placed in the article body in the respective sections for AIDS (which includes the relevant sources listed immediately below) and Apartheid (which was affirmed by an RfC in October). Sdkb (talk) 05:43, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:1976 Tangshan earthquake

Should the lead article have the sentence In minutes the city of Tangshan, an industrial city with approximately one million inhabitants, ceased to exist.? Please decide on one of the three following proposals:
  1. Keep

    In minutes the city of Tangshan, an industrial city with approximately one million inhabitants, ceased to exist. Eighty-five percent of the buildings in the city collapsed or were unusable, all services failed, and most of the highway and railway bridges collapsed or were seriously damaged.

  2. Replace with

    In minutes, eighty-five percent of the buildings in Tangshan, an industrial city with approximately one million inhabitants, collapsed or were unusable, all services failed, and most of the highway and railway bridges collapsed or were seriously damaged.

    (with or without the an industrial city with approximately one million inhabitants sub-clause)
  3. Replace with

    In minutes the city of Tangshan, an industrial city with approximately one million inhabitants, ceased to exist as a functioning entity. Eighty-five percent of the buildings in the city collapsed or were unusable, all services failed, and most of the highway and railway bridges collapsed or were seriously damaged.

Template talk:COVID-19

The "Data and figures" section of this navbox links either exclusively or almost exclusively to the template namespace. Here are three options:
  • Option A: Keep as is and continue to link to template namespace.
  • Option B: Expand the linked templates into standalone articles.
  • Option C: Remove the linked templates from the navbox.

I look forward to reading your thoughts.  Bait30   05:04, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
