  • Talk:Jahbulon#Poll:_Tag_on_article - is the article encyclopedic and can the tag stating otherwise be removed? 04:13, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Fork_in_the_road#Image_RFC Dispute about whether an image would improve the article 22:13, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Canadian English - an editor, RyanRP, has been making a series of edits ([1] [2] [3], of which I've reverted the first two) which strike me as being somewhat questionable. I'd like some input from an editor who has a good grasp of the history and influences of Canadian English, as I'm having to rely on what I can source from web references right now. Here's the relevant section on the talk page Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. 10:07, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Bajan - this article contains an exhaustingly long list of Barbados slang. The presence of the list in the article is contested for being a clear violation of Wp:not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_dictionary. Furthermore, the list keeps growing ad nauseam with a vast array of sexual slang/neologisms. Since the list removal has been reverted twice by two different users, objector kindly requests comments on this issue. 00:35, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Reorganization Agent of Korean History#Samguk Yusa, regarding the Chinese character 囯 on the left side of Image:Hwanin hwanguk.jpg. Could this character have been used in the 13th century original version of Samguk Yusa? 21:17, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Swedish language#"Dialect" Samples – A dispute over the definition of Swedish dialects. A user has raised objections about the validity of defining certain speech samples as genuine dialects which includes strong criticism of SweDia, a major research project on Swedish dialects. Counter-objections include concerns of original research and a lack of references, neutrality and civility from the objector. 06:49, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Not really a dispute, but since there's nothing else on this page, I'll just mention it: Irish phonology is up for peer review. Please leave comments at Wikipedia:Peer review/Irish phonology. 18:28, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
