I propose removing the provision in Wikipedia:Political endorsements that allows local consensus to overrule our general policy that facts be sourced to independent reliable sources for organizational endorsements. Specifically, I propose striking the following sentence from the guideline: Local consensus can determine whether a specific list requires independent sources or sources connected to the organization itself, such as its website or official social media accounts.

'''Some articles do not need a year''' when, in historic perspective, the event is easily described without it. This includes both events that have significant international recognizability and events that have had a major lasting impact on a national level, such as by being the catalyst for political change or by leaving a sizable mark on culture. Events that have their recognizability and impact mostly limited to a subnational level should generally have a year in their title.
The date is not needed when the article pertains to events that can only happen once or are highly unlikely to recur and the article title includes the "whom" or "what" that was subject to the event. Examples include [[Rescue of Giuliana Sgrena]], [[Assassination of Boris Nemtsov]], [[Sodder children disappearance]] and [[Sinking of the SS Arctic|Sinking of the SS ''Arctic'']].
The month or days should not be used in the title unless other descriptors are insufficient to establish the identity of the incident, such as [[February 2022 Kharkiv cluster bombing]] and [[April 2022 Kharkiv cluster bombing]].
Should Visual Editor become the default on mobile and/or desktop for new editors? Existing preferences are unaffected. In solidarity, —Femke (talk) 🐦 16:52, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
Add the tag {{rfc|xxx}} at the top of a talk page section, where "xxx" is the category abbreviation. The different category abbreviations that should be used with {{rfc}} are listed above in parenthesis. Multiple categories are separated by a vertical pipe. For example, {{rfc|xxx|yyy}}, where "xxx" is the first category and "yyy" is the second category.
