- Foie gras (RFC on Talk page). Serious controversy, page blocked, outside imput very much needed. There has been much disagreement about how much the article should address (1) the production of foie gras (force-feeding, or gavage) and (2) the controversies about foie gras. A Proposal has been circulated; is it sound? That is, would it help the article better conform to NPOV, etc? 09:22, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Taylor Allderdice High School Is a school newspaper a reliable source and how should information sourced from it be represented, if at all? 16:02, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- Cat: Is the term "owner" the most appropriate one to use to describe the relationship of humans to cats in the article on Cats, including where the context is not about legal issues? 21:29, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- Otterbein College: Dispute is between a person that describes themselves as the communications director at the college and myself, as well as a previous editor that first reverted her edits. She is copying and pasting unformatted information and deleting the previously formatted information. I have asked her several times to stop and to read Wikipedia's policies on this issue, but she has refused and insists because "she wrote it" that is not copyright violation. 15:17, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Basque people infobox: related groups - Dispute regarding wether Spanish and French should be named as directly related to Basques. I am against on what I deem are ethnological reasons (there's a wider "Western Europeans" mention already). Another user claims that my position is politically extremist (to put it in mild terms). 14:54, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- Columbia University - Dispute regarding the inclusion of “Barnard jokes” as part of the Columbia University article. An article by the name of “Barnard Jokes” was deleted and blocked for violating wikipedia’s rules on attack page and Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. Now an anonymous user is trying to include the same text in the Columbia article as “tradition.” There is no such tradition, and even if there were, I believe the topic is irrelevant to the article as a whole, perpetuates further attacks on women, is not sourced, and should not be part of an encyclopedia. 22:13, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- Zoophilia - Controversy over section called "Health and Safety" (of sex with animals). Input from medically-trained people required if possible. Issue covered at length on talk page. 12:40, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

- Talk:Mulatto - Does the offspring of a black person and white person constitute an "oxymoron"? Is mulatto a common racial category in US society? Are Barack Obama and Colin Powell "American mulattos"? Is it okay to tell readers in the introduction that one shouldn't find the term mulatto offensive/inoffensive? 13:03, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
