The following discussions are requested to have community-wide attention:

Talk:High Speed 2

It has been asserted that HS2 is not a new line, but a network. In this article, should HS2 be described as a network, or as a new Y-shaped line?

Example edits:

• this edit describes it as a network
• this edit describes it as a new Y-shaped line

For consideration: "What is HS2?". High Speed 2. Retrieved 10 March 2020. Cnbrb (talk) 16:43, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Lichess

This article has long had a big table of "Lichess Titled Arena" tournaments/participants/results. It is sourced only to Lichess itself. I've twice removed it and was twice reverted (last time here). It's come to an RfC, I guess.

Should this article include a table of Lichess tournaments based on primary sources? — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 02:47, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:GM Defense

Should the revised lead in an edit request be allowed to include a citation? We are seeking consensus on proposed re-writes as well. Jon Gray (talk) 18:27, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Federal Pretzel Baking Company

Back and forth on this discussion removing sources. Editing contradiction of position SummerPhD on content first needing more sourcing and then eliminating sources as not needed or overdone. Disturbing is the the negative statement that SummerPhD makes " I'm going to be pecking away at this off and on." further stated "The vast majority of this article is unsourced. Clearly, we need more independent reliable sources." My position clearly is that sources of the time period support the context and content that it just not folklore, or marketing puff but is rooted in Philadelphia culture by the amount of "news" attention exploring the Pretzel Company and the Family that lends to fact telling and inference of phenom of Soft Pretzel in Philadelphia as a food, that is more than a food but taking on an iconic cuisine status among the population.

Talk:Electronic cigarette

Rfc participants are asked to support any of the following position statements, give their reasoning, and make any general comments or observations they might have.

Position statement #1: This article's readability is poor.
Position statement #2: The lead requires improvement to comply with Wikipedia:Summary style.
Position statement #3: Article version #1 is unacceptably pro-electronic cigarette, advocates that readers should take up electronic cigarettes, or evangelises for e-cigarettes in any way.
Position statement #4: Article version #1 is preferable to article version #2.

Talk:Symbiont (company)

Does this article still have a promotional tone, and if so, what can be done to fix it? Moontreasure (talk) 16:31, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
