There is a discussion about due weight in the lede, which contains this paragraph WikiLeaks' role in the 2016 US Presidential election:
During the 2016 US Democratic Party presidential primaries, WikiLeaks hosted emails sent or received by candidate Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State. The U.S. Intelligence Community, as well as a Special Counsel investigation, concluded that the Russian government carried out a hacking campaign as part of broader efforts to interfere in the 2016 United States elections. In 2018, twelve Russian intelligence officers, mostly affiliated with the GRU, were indicted on criminal charges by Special Counsel Robert Mueller; the indictment charged the Russians with carrying out the computer hacking and working with WikiLeaks and other organisations to spread stolen documents. Assange has consistently denied any connection to or co-operation with Russia in relation to the leaks, and accused the Clinton campaign of stoking "a neo-McCarthy hysteria".

As some users may already know, there have been some news concerning a claim made by two Russian pranksters, who say that they have talked to Harry on two different occasions and each time he has made harsh comments about his own family and the president of the US. I saw BBC publishing an article about this 1 and it seems that that the phone calls have been recorded and published. 2 Considering the fact that we have covered similar scandals in the articles that we have about his parents and other family members, should we include this in the body of the article?

See above. Editor wants to place information about events in Tiananmen Square that contradict the subject's of this BLP's own version of events. And the rest. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 09:07, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
There is information on this page, particularly in the hacked emails section, that includes inflammatory language and insinuations, which don't abide by WP:BLP. User:Huldra and I have been discussing changes to the page, however we have reached a standstill and I would appreciate others' thoughts on this page. Please refer to the above Page Issues section for further information on this. Quorum816 (talk) 13:10, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
The "Television" section talks about her works on TV. Should the "Television" section include her surprise firing from The View be added? Mikethewhistle-original (talk) 08:39, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
Should a short paragraph in the article about Zina Bash read:
1. In September 2018, Bash was accused of making a white power hand sign during Kavanaugh's nomination hearing.[21][22] Her husband condemned the accusations, calling them "repulsive" and a "vicious conspiracy theory".[23][24][25][26][27]
or should it read:
2. In September 2018, a conspiracy theory emerged which falsely accused Bash of making a white power hand sign during Kavanaugh's nomination hearing.[21][22] Her husband condemned the accusations, which were debunked by a number of media outlets, calling them "repulsive" and a "vicious conspiracy theory".[23][24][25][26][27]

While this particular edit wasn't terribly constructive on its own, it does bring up a good point that I hadn't considered before I reverted it: is 'zookeeper' an accurate disambiguator for this person? He owns and operates a wildlife sanctuary, which is not a zoo, so I'm inclined to believe it isn't. If others agree this is not a good word choice, what word/words are better suited for this? Perhaps Kevin Richardson (sanctuary owner) or Kevin Richardson (conservationist), but I'm not completely sold on either one. (Between the two I'd lean towards 'sanctuary owner'.) I've made this an RFC as I suspect this will not be seen otherwise. Thank you! –Erakura(talk) 17:45, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
Should the lead section of Ronald Reagan include the following?
A clause in the sentence on Reagan's first term stating that during said term he largely ignored the burgeoning AIDS crisis.
A sentence (immediately preceding the ones on USSR) stating Reagan resisted calls for stringent sanctions against the apartheid regime in South Africa and vetoed a sanctions bill but was overridden by Congress.
Citations for both additions would be placed in the article body in the respective sections for AIDS (which includes the relevant sources listed immediately below) and Apartheid (which was affirmed by an RfC in October). Sdkb (talk) 05:43, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
Hey everyone, I would like to propose that we swap the lede image for either of these two that are already in the article body. I understand there has been dispute regarding the current photo in the past, but there were no free/fair use replacements back then.
However, both of these other pictures are in public domain, and Photo 2 is in Commons. Honestly they just seem to better illustrate the article. Most people don't associate the Kubrick persona with his younger self. Those two other pictures are of Kubrick in his prime, so they might be good candidates. Opinions?

Which statement is more appropriate for inclusion as a review of Robbie's involvement/performance in Birds of Prey? KyleJoantalk 05:38, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
"Unless the cause of death is itself a reason for notability, a single sentence describing the death is usually sufficient, and often none is included in the lead at all, just a death date."
Is this guideline clear enough to be useful to a user trying to determine whether somebody's cause of death should be included in the lead of their bio?
What I see as a lack of clarity - especially with wording like often none is included - can lead to long animated discussions such as this recent one. Those discussions wouldn't be such a waste of time and effort if briefer, or if altogether unnecessary, given we had a clearer guideline.
Being rather a strong anti-sensationalist myself, hoping always that Wikipedia articles about people will not develop into tabloid-type material, perhaps I have misunderstood the guideline along those lines. If normal (statisticlly) suicides, car crashes, drug overdoses, for example are to be considered by Wikipedia as defining factors in what's notable about those people, then I am wrong in removing them from leads, whereas with a clearly notable death such as that of Christine Chubbuck I would not do that. If a celebrity's cause of death is widely reported in media, and that alone makes the cause of death in itself a reason for notability, then I am also wrong in feeling it should be removed from the lead as non-notable.
I am inviting other editors to chime in here, and to help write a clearer guideline in this detail. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 11:14, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
There has been a discussion on the WikiProject talk page regarding the layout of the "Honours" section in association football player pages. Input from other users would be appreciated, as consensus has yet to be reached. Thanks, Nehme1499 (talk) 21:05, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
Should Peppermint's birth name be included in the "Personal life" section of the article, or omitted from the article completely? (To clarify, it seems to be agreed that the name should not be included in the lead, and that is not the topic of this RfC). GorillaWarfare(talk) 02:38, 19 February 2020 (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.
