Talk:Millennials

I've a proposal to modify the lead of the "Millennials" article from saying,

"Researchers and popular media use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years, with 1981 to 1996 a widely accepted defining range for the generation."

to "Researchers and popular media typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s as ending birth years, with 1981 to 1996 a widely accepted defining range for the generation."

My justification here, as I've mentioned before, is that a whopping 27 sources in this article ended Millennials in the mid 90s. Only 4 sources in the body end the generation in the early 2000s (2000-2003), one of the them (the Census Bureau) even saying they don't officially define Millennials, another (CNN) saying "sometimes 1980–2000" (emphasis on "sometimes"), and the other two (Elwood Carlson and U.S. PIRG) being outdated sources from when this generation's identity was still heavily in flux.--CherokeeJack1 (talk) 05:37, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Sanctity of life

Should this article contain the "In Logic" section seen in this diff? The disputed text is Sanctity of life fails on a following question: "Would you kill Hitler in 1939?". Both possible answers (yes/no) don't respect sanctity of life. gnu57 17:23, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Chinatown, Houston

The question is whether the lead of the article should only mention definitions of Chinatown from local government bodies, or whether it should mention other definitions of Chinatown quoted by secondary sources such as newspapers.

Talk:Bakarkhani

Should the "place of origin" (country) in the infobox be Bangladesh? Za-ari-masen (talk) 18:00, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Battered woman syndrome

Should the Battered woman syndrome and Battered person syndrome articles be merged so that the medical and legal aspects defined under the terms "battered woman syndrome" and "battered person syndrome" are covered in one article? Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 22:39, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Antifa (United States)

Should the subject of this article be capitalized (Antifa) or not (antifa)? feminist (talk) 07:19, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Gender studies

This is related to an earlier proposal to rename/reformat {{Masculinism}} and {{Masculism sidebar}} that failed to reach consensus. To wit, should these templates be reformatted to reflect their focus on the men's movement instead of masculism? —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 22:43, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Boxing

Should we add the following section to the WikiProject Boxing Manual of Style?

Lineal champions
There is no single canonical list of lineal champions. Don't include the lineal championship in lists of champions, record tables or succession boxes.

Lineal championships are a point of view and should follow the neutral point of view policy:

• Avoid stating it as a fact. A lineal championship is an opinion and should not be stated in Wikipedia's voice.
• Undue weight - Don't include it in the lead unless it is a widely held viewpoint (ex. You need more sources than just the Cyber Boxing Zone list.)--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 20:17, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Legality of bestiality by country or territory

The purpose of this RFC is to determine what the article should state is the legal status of bestiality in Germany.

Shall the table show, for Germany:

A.

Germany Illegal

Or

B.

Germany Legal, unless forced, in which case Illegal

?

Answer A or B in the Survey. Conduct back-and-forth discussion in the Threaded Discussion section. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:09, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Stanley Kubrick

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?

Talk:The Washington Post

Should the abbreviation WaPo be placed in the first sentence? KyleJoan^talk 05:20, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Talk:2020 in the United Kingdom

There is a disagreement about the link label to provide for the incumbent parliament, given in the "Incumbents" section near the top of the page. Should it be labelled as:

A. Parliament – 58th?

B. Parliament – The 58th, elected December 2019?

C. Other (please offer suggestions)?

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Players

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)

Talk:Peppermint (drag queen)

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)
