  • Talk:West Azerbaijan - Two editors cannot agree on whether the majority of the population in this region of Iran is Kurdish or Turkish. One of them says that the majority is Turkish, while the other one says that the majority is Kurdish and that the Iranian government is denying the truth. They both have sources but it seems none of them has found a source that is at the same time: credible, accurate, up-to-date. They have also engaged in edit wars. 19:21, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Talk:Khardungla Pass - One editor (Viewfinder a.k.a Jonathan de Ferranti) has been stating that Khardungla isn't the "highest motorable pass" in the world disputing both Guinness Records and National Geographic evidence. Instead he insists on using a certain "Catalan Institute" which despite its good standing in Europe can hardly claim expertise in non-catalan geographic issues. The proof he had submitted in the past and does still now is always emanating from his websites which he fails to quote in the first place until I do some digging. I fear despite his good intentions, it is a case of original research. The tone used by his [[2]] is also less encyclopedic in nature. Plz help. Tx. 08:28, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Talk:1948 Arab-Israeli War The editors cannot reach agreement about the inclusion of material and web links regarding the role of Amin al-Husayni in the war and of claims that the population of Israel feared a war of genocide because of Husayni's role.

  • Singapore Changi Airport, discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airports#Standardisation - Singapore Changi Airport) (mainly). The WP:Airport project has a standard format for listing airlines/destinations from an airport, the list contains the airline name (with wikilink) and destinations (without wikilinks). Singapore Changi Airport uses a different, table based, format which contains far more information. Edits to Singapore Changi Airport to use this standard format were originally reverted and then left after the first section of this discussion, but have now again reverted to the non-standard format and the discussion has reached an impasse. Comments welcome. 15:57, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Talk:Second Lady of the United States The questions are is this a term currently used; does this duplicate the role of individuals articles (ex. does Second Lady duplicate Lynne Cheney), and is the term "Second Lady" legitimate/notable enough that it merits an article of its own. 15:00, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Talk:Second Lady Several key issues: is this a term that is currently used; is this a term that has been used in the past enough that it is pertenant to American History; Is the entry an article or a definition; if the content is insufficient (or obtuse) does it merit opening a vote for deletion process. 14:38, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
