Requests for comment on History and geography
Please help out by providing comment on another dispute listed here
  • Do not list entries here. Instead, add an RFC template to the page you are requesting comments on, as described here.
  • Do not continue the debate here, or make personal comments on this page.

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

  • Talk:Chippawa, Ontario A disagreement exists as to the correct local name for the river flowing through Chippawa - Chippawa "Creek", or "Crick"
  • Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard Is there enough support for alternative start dates to be considered the viewpoint of, at least, a significant minority?
  • Talk:National Liberation War of Macedonia There is a dispute about the neutrality of the article between Kobra85 and Revizionist, with admin Future Perfect at Sunrise and a few others sometimes involved in the discussion. There are basically two versions being argued for here. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title
  • Talk:Contras Need support of third party to request mediation unless you can think of a way to solve reversion and disputes
  • Talk:Knights Hospitaller Should order be described as "revived." Does it "claim" sovereignty or does it have sovereignty?
  • Talk:List of infantry divisions of the Soviet Union 1917–1957 This was a national troop type that can not be readily translated into English, with a variety of translations offered (see copious sources above). The naming in Wikipedia is based on the same principle as that used for Cossacks, Hussars and Landwehr
  • Talk:GADA 601 GADA 601 is an article about a South American military unit, the majority of the article covers a war with the British. Which form of English spelling should be used?
  • Talk:Belgrade Offensive there are several issues involved 1)that at the operation was not a combine/joint operation between the Red Army and the Yugoslav Army at the planing involving higher headquarters, but only involved front-line incidental cooperation at tactical level as required on those occasions when the troops from the two forces encountered each other; 2) That when this encounter occurred, the Yugoslav troops came under command of the Red Army (I need to provide a source for this, but English sources seem rare); 3) that the sources provided by User:DIRECTOR are valid, one being derived from a very general reference in the Library of Congress country dara entry, and others from a site the owner of which admitted they are not referenced (even if true)
  • Talk:List of military occupations The opposition to renaming this article is based on the suggestion that another article can not be created to list pre-1907 occupations due to difficulty in defining the term
  • Talk:Fear: Anti-Semitism in Poland after Auschwitz Is it appropriate to use a represntative quote by the book's author stated it's main thesis, as well as quotes from favorable book reviews, even if some editors find the POV of the book objectionable
  • Talk:Master Mahan Is the "Master Mahan — Master Mason Theory" Verifiable, keeping to Neutral Point of View, or not Original Research? Is it worthy of inclusion in the article?
  • Talk:Chetniks Deleting of WWII USHMM pictures
