• Should external links be inside Template:Infobox Television? See WT:TV#Infobox Television Links. -- 18:04, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

• Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spam#Proposed changes in the tone of the project page It has been proposed that this statement be deleted from the project page on the grounds that it violates Assume Good Faith: spammers love to take advantage of the fact that Wikipedians assume good faith, luring us into discussing their links with them "on the merits" as if they had nothing but the good of Wikipedia at heart. Other wording on the project page has also been proposed for review (without specific suggestions made on it) on the grounds that they may suggest violations of WP:CIV. Some general support for making changes has been made, but no clear consensus has formed and the discussion is becoming dormant.Noroton 00:06, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

• Template talk:Skins: There is a dispute over whether this template, which is a navigational box, should use the navbox class or its own unique font sizes and colours. A vote was started on the talk page and four editors, already involved in the original dispute, "voted" unanimously to use the unique colours despite it not addressing other editors' concerns, which at the time had not been discussed. 09:29, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

• Talk:Chinese New Year What is the general policy on archiving or deleting discussions off the talk page? One user unilaterally deleted many of the historic yet relevant discussions. I have already suggested archiving instead, but the discussions were deleted again most recently. --Kvasir 01:08, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

• Template:Ifd I would like to modify this template to look more like the afd template. I added an {{editprotected}} template, but the admin felt that I needed a concensus before the edit is made. So I am here requesting some comments to the new template. 24fan24 (talk) 19:52, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

• Jonty Rhodes article and image position. (edits by Paul Venter)

Paul Venter seems to take an issue with positioning of the Image:Jonty_rhodes02.jpg and insists it should not be placed in the infobox since this is simply convention and does not neccessarily need to be followed. There has been a discussion in the talk page, and every one except Paul agrees it should go in the infobox, but he keeps reverting this. This might soon descend into a revert war. Common sense and aesthetics suggests it should go in the infobox. Any comments? Rueben lys 15:25, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

• Category:Cities in the UTC timezone: This is a category that add some benefits in searching for cities. Should we add the ability to categorize cities by their province, by their country to the via the template {{template:infobox city}}. Similarly, should we have the UTC categorization done via the template? A clear concensus should be made to avoid conflicts in editing and nominations for deletions or category for discussion (as what is currently happening). CyclePat 18:35, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

• Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents: Is it effective or not? Many of the sections created are archived without any admin response. Are frivolous reports not worth responding? Should admins at lease acknowledge that they have read the report and give a brief summary why no action is required? Any other suggestions to make it better?

• Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2007-01-07 Singapore Airlines Request for Comment regarding the application of a wikiproject style template to the Singapore Airlines article, with impact upon the wider application of such concensus-built templates. Comment from the wider community would be much appreciated.05:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

• Template talk:Infobox actor#Height - Whether the infobox about actors should include their height or not. One editor claimed that there were not enough participants in the discussion to form any kind of consensus. 16:51, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

• Talk:Autoroute There is disagreement as to the appropriate national variety of English to use on the page Autoroute. One editor contends that, because the article was begun in British English, it should stay that way. The other contends that the subject of the article bears a strong relation to Canada and that Canadian English should therefore be preferred. 13:03, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
