Talk:Franz Schubert

An editor is seeking to include in the article a statement that Schubert was a member of a club called the 'Unsinnsgesellschaft'. I have twice removed this as there is no contemporary evidence that he was a member; nor, even if he were, does any authority on Schubert indicate that it had any bearing on his life or work. I have also removed a picture of a party held by the club, at which there is no evidence that Schubert attended. As this is a GA article I believe we need to be careful about relevant content.

Talk:Muhammad of Ghor

Cheers to everyone here ! If you want a broader response, leave a note on the relevant noticeboards.

The main issue is obviously with the sourcing, among all the cited sources, is any of these are from historians ? see - WP:HSC. I never came across a reliable source from a decent scholar which cites chronicler Hasan Nizami and states explicitly that Muhammad was asssasined by the Khokhars (will cite a source later) - most main stream scholars who wrote about his assassination only statez that assassins were either Khokhars - but didn't press upon the identity of those assassins. Habib 1981 (will cite later) added details and explained why writings of Ferishta which were written 500 years after Muhammad's assassination don't hold much water.

I earlier added that it's possible that Muhammad was assassinated jointly by Khokhars and Ismailis - Diff/1116356653, but it qas removed for some absurd reasons but of late my contribution towards the enclyopedia are not in same frequency as they used to be.

To cut a long story short, you yourself apparently conceded that this is not the mainstream consensus among scholars We don't promote fringe theories.

Habib 1981 (cited in article) see here as well

It is generally thought that Shihabuddin was assassinated by the Khokhars and a detail account of how they accomplished their purpose is given by Ferishta. Twenty Khokhar infidels he says whose sons and relations had fallen in the battle against the Sultan vowed revenge even at cost of their own lives...detail account of Ferishta writting... These are circumstantional details of later day story, Minhajus siraj juzjani who was fifteen aur sixteen year old at the time of sultan's death merely states that he was assassined by a heretic devotee (fida-i-mulhadia). I see no reason for distrusting Minhajus Siraj's contemporary account. He bore no love for the heretics and had no motive for misrepresenting a fact which everybody was aware

I am also pinging @पाटलिपुत्र and HistoryofIran: - both who are regular contributors in this topic to give their inputs. (quotes) Packer&Tracker (talk ♀) 16:13, 3 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather

The recent discussions (and Talk:List of F5 and EF5 tornadoes), with the intent to improve the Possible F5/EF5/T10+ tornadoes officially rated F4/EF4/T9 or lower & Possible F5/EF5/T10+ tornadoes with no official rating sections, has potentially shown a bunch of errors that are potentially unfixable with the lists. Multiple editors have expressed concerns with the list over the years (and especially with the recent discussions). It it time for the WikiProject to have a discussion about fully scrapping the list. This would allow for a potential new discussion to arise in the future for the list to comeback at a time when 100% clear guidelines can be put in place. Important to note that this list has been discussed on the talk page since 2007 (evident in Talk:List of F5 and EF5 tornadoes/Archive 1), meaning debates and discussions will never go away and have been ongoing for over a decade.

Talk:Heat

I would like to preface this stating that I am not at all knowledgeable in this area.

I participated in the RfC on this page a while back and I think we failed to provide a clearer lead. This was part of the lead at the time of the RfC:

In thermodynamics, heat is energy in transfer to or from a thermodynamic system, by mechanisms other than thermodynamic work or transfer of matter (e.g. conduction, radiation, and friction). Like thermodynamic work, heat transfer involves the surroundings of a system, as well as the system itself, and so is not a property of the system alone, though it contributes to change in the system's internal energy, which is a property of the system alone. This is distinct from the ordinary language usage of the word 'heat' as a property of a system in itself.

Currently, the first two paragraphs of the lead look like this:

In thermodynamics, heat is defined as the form of energy crossing the boundary of a thermodynamic system by virtue of a temperature difference across the boundary. A thermodynamic system does not contain heat. Nevertheless, the term is also often used to refer to the thermal energy contained in a system as a component of its internal energy and that is reflected in the temperature of the system. For both uses of the term, heat is a form of energy. An example of formal vs. informal usage may be obtained from the right-hand photo, in which the metal bar is "conducting heat" from its hot end to its cold end, but if the metal bar is considered a thermodynamic system, then the energy flowing within the metal bar is called internal energy, not heat. The hot metal bar is also transferring heat to its surroundings, a correct statement for both the strict and loose meanings of heat. Another example of informal usage is the term heat content, used despite the fact that physics defines heat as energy transfer. More accurately, it is thermal energy that is contained in the system or body, as it is stored in the microscopic degrees of freedom of the modes of vibration.

After reading these, should the lead be rewritten, should we revert back to the old lead, or keep it as is? Cessaune [talk] 02:42, 26 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Talk:Applied behavior analysis

ABA is a controversial practice. Going by polls, and statements made by a large number of representative organisations, it appears to be highly unpopular with its main target population, autistic people; on the other hand, it is backed up by research (also controversial) and forms a multi-billion-dollar industry supported by various governments. It is sometimes described as the 'gold standard in autism treatment'.

How best to reflect these controversies, in the lead section and elsewhere? References elsewhere on this Talk page.

Template talk:Infobox film

Consolidating this discussion on one page with this rfc.

To summarise the matter briefly, we want to hear what the community has to say about the inclusion of song composers in the infobox for a musical film, particularly in Indian cinema, in which songs are the integral part of a film's music score. For example, for a musical film such as The Greatest Showman, the "music by" parameter should include both Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (who composed the songs) and John Debney and Joseph Trapanese (who composed the background score). The current wording of including only "film score" is ambiguous at best, and makes no mention of musical films. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:54, 2 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Talk:Tár

Me and a couple of other editors have inserted/re-inserted variations (in what is now the lead and in the 'box office' section) on the fact that Tár the movie, the subject of this article, had a very poor general public response to its release. The film was manifestly a great critical success. The juxtaposition is notable, but in any case the widely reported facts of both the poor general results and the public discussion of them are unarguable. There seems to me (I am not the most experienced editor and have no skin in this game but am simply trying improve the article) that the constant deletion of well-reported facts is rather odd. I do not accuse anyone at all of bad faith, certainly not, but I do wonder why obvious, notable and relevant facts keep being deleted. I have marked the matter RFC in order to learn from editors more experienced. I will not edit again for now as I do not wish to get involved in edit-warring.

Talk:Next Indian general election

India has a multi-party system having 8 parties with national status. Adding only two prominent national parties (BJP and INC) in the Infobox seems unfair and against WP:NPOV. According to 2019 election results, AITC is the third largest national party with 22 seats and 4.06% votes (Although DMK got 24 seats and 2.34% votes, it's a state party and part of UPA led by INC). I support adding third largest national party in the Infobox irrespective of their vote and seat share. I support using Template:Infobox legislative election until the announcement of election results. After results, we can switch into image based Template:Infobox election.

Alliances are formed by political parties for general election, but they are not parliamentary groups (Legislatures in some countries like France follows the alliance-grouping system, but there is no such system followed in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha). In my opinion, adding alliances is unnecessary, because they're not official parliamentary groups and tends to be WP:SPECULATIVE.

Wikipedia policies and guidelines[edit]

Wikipedia talk:Overcategorization

Shall this paragraph be removed from the "Venues by event" section (OCVENUE)?

Likewise, avoid categorizing events by their hosting locations. Many notable locations (e.g. Madison Square Garden) have hosted so many sports events and conventions over time that categories listing all such events would not be readable.

This would allow for the existence of categories such as Category:Events at Wembley Stadium. The rest of OCVENUE would remain in place, so that categories like Category:WrestleMania venues are still disallowed. See further discussion in the section above.

Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Canada-related articles

There was a previous discussion and RFC similar to this held back in 2015 to early 2016^[29], however that was close to 6 years ago from when the discussions were held, so the views of editors may have changed since then, therefore I am requesting additional comments regarding the potential removal of the enforcement of the |official_name= parameter in the guidelines for handling city articles related to Canada. In my view, the requirement of this parameter to be included does not serve much of a purpose aside from creating unnecessary duplication in the infobox, and it is debatable as to whether this guideline meets WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE or not. The |name= and |settlement_type= parameters already fulfill what the |official_name= parameter intends to do. I understand the parameter exists to perhaps indicate the corporate entity under which a given city or town is managed, but this information probably is not that important to most readers and in my view, contributes to a bloating of the infobox. I would argue this extends to U.S. city articles as well.

TL;DR: Should the mandatory requirement of using the |official_name= parameter be dropped due to implication of official name by both |name= and |settlement_type= parameters? - Evelyn Marie (leave a message · contributions) 00:37, 22 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Should we replace Infobox settlement with Infobox Indian state or territory in Indian states and union territories pages ?

As India is a federal state ( arguably quasi-federal ), Indian states and union territories should have a wrapper for infobox which represents the democratic individuality, distribution of power and authority as well as the demographic, economic and political features of the division.

This infobox is customised for Indian states and union territories. It gives more specific, constant, described and dedicated information about the federal subjects and union territories.

Ok, so for me, there's a lot not to like about the new layout.

But someone else can start that eventual RfC : )

I just want to focus on one very specific thing: the talk link being moved to a drop down.

Hiding the talk link is a very very bad idea.

We operate on the consensus model here.

Hiding the talk link just reinforces that edit-warring is the way to go.

And no, I really don't care what some off-site discussion was - so I don't need to hear an WMF employee breezily tell me that a talk page link was determined to not be important on Wikipedia. I'm happy to engage in discussion, but don't blow us off by referring elsewhere as if this project does not matter please. (As an aside, and this goes far beyond this simple RfC - But just thought I'd mention that while I respect the WMF in general - I think it's very important - but I'm really not happy about how things seem to be being pushed through, with fewer and fewer discussions being allowed to be "open" for anyone to participate.)

Anyway, if we weigh importance, I think it's easy to agree that the talk link is more important than the watchlist link. So if space really is the issue argued, then swap them. Or maybe combine "alerts" and "notices" to save space. Or whatever other ideas people may have.

Whatever the case, un-hide the talk link. - jc37 19:30, 19 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The Wikimedia Foundation has announced that January 17 begins voting on a second attempt to obtain approval of Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct. There has been no such voting on the content of the Universal Code of Conduct itself.

Does the community Endorse or Oppose approval of Enforcement Guidelines prior to, or in the absence of, any community approval of a Code of Conduct itself?

This RFC is intended to determine and communicate a consensus position. Editors may consider this during current or future Enforcement Guideline votes, and the Wikimedia Foundation may consider it when evaluating how to proceed if the second Guideline vote turns out worse than the first vote.

you wish to have the block of a user reviewed. Instead, discuss the block with the blocking administrator (see also Wikipedia:Blocking policy#Unblocking).

Before adding a name here you MUST ensure that the user in question:

has been warned about their username (with e.g. {{subst:uw-username}}) and has been allowed time to address the concern on their user talk page.
has disagreed with the concern, refused to change their username and/or continued to edit without replying to the warning.
