Talk:Princess Alice of Battenberg
| Should we refer to her as Alice throughout the page instead of "Princess Andrew", which is repetitive and unnecessary? Most royal pages refer to them by their first given name, such as Philip, Elizabeth, William, and Harry etc.
Editors keep switching between "Princess Andrew" and "Alice", but most royal pages refer to royals by their first given name. ItsShandog (talk) 14:34, 23 July 2026 (UTC) |

| We have to reach a consensus whether we should add the infobox criminal to he existing infobox. The corruption case may be or may not be politically motivated and during the interim government, thousands of such cases were filed against the former ruler and their family members and there are controversies surrounding the cases. Moreover it is not a criminal cases like murder or rape which makes someone really a "criminal" to add a criminal infobox. So, my opinion is that we should not put this infobox criminal to the existing. See what others say about this. Bellow is the infobox in discussion: Rht bd (talk) 16:52, 13 July 2026 (UTC) |
| Question: Should the lead of George Kurtz include a sentence about the 2024 CrowdStrike-related IT outage, or should coverage of that event be limited to the Career section?
Background: The lead currently states: "In 2024, CrowdStrike released a software update that disrupted millions of Microsoft Windows systems around the world, an event that has been called the largest outage in the history of information technology." This sentence has been discussed above at #2024 outage in the intro? and as you can see there are differing views on whether it belongs in the lead. This RfC is to get broader input.

| There has been a long-running edit war on this page over the website link in the infobox, of which previous attempts to curb it through page protection and admin noticeboard discussions has failed to resolve. The dispute is centred over the inclusion of the official website link, austenasia.org in the infobox. An editor has repeatedly attempted to remove this link through several edits. On the advice of User:ScottishFinnishRadish I have other to begin an RfC to seek a long term solution to this issue.

Talk:World Athletics Championships
| Hi everyone. Having been informed by the earlier unanimous consensus to merge all articles at Somalia at the World Athletics Championships, I'd like to present for consideration a slate of nations whose performance at the competition I believe should be consolidated en masse into singular articles. I estimate that we could remove anywhere from 2-600 articles from the mainspace in this manner.

Talk:Kerch Polytechnic College massacre
| Hello. User AFeatherlessBipehead believes that the article on the Kerch Polytechnic College massacre should include the category “School shootings motivated by bullying,” even though bullying is only a suspected motive in this crime and the investigation has not reached a consensus. I also do not see other school attacks listed in this category — for example, those in Russia where bullying was suspected as a motive and where there is information about possible bullying. Please clarify whether this category should be included in the article and whether it should be added to other articles YillowsGiblles (talk) 18:40, 6 July 2026 (UTC) |
