When describing Mahatma Gandhi's last hunger strike (or "fast-unto-death") undertaken on 12 January 1948, should we say that in addition to stemming the religious violence (or restoring the peace):
"the fast also sought to pressure the Indian government to pay out1 cash assets owed to Pakistan?" (Note: 1: pay out = pay a large sum of money from funds under one's control.)
(both in the lead and the relevant section)
(in the relevant section, but not in the lead)
"the fast also sought to indirectly (or implicitly) pressure the Indian government to pay out cash assets owed to Pakistan?
(both in the lead and in the relevant section)
( in the relevant section, but not in the lead)
"the fast also caused (or led) the Indian government to pay out cash assets owed to Pakistan."
(both in the lead and in the relevant section)
(in the relevant section, but not in the lead)
Make no mention of cash assets in this context anywhere in the article.
"In the months following, Gandhi went on hunger strike several times to stop the religious violence. The last, begun in Delhi on 12 January 1948 when he was 78, also aimed to restore to Pakistan its share of cash assets of undivided British India. The fast was an important factor in the Indian government's decision to pay out the assets during a time when India and Pakistan were engaged in a war over the disputed territory of Kashmir."
This RfC concerns the first two sentences of the lead's second paragraph. (snapshot at the time of writing: [1])
Should "Following Khelif's victory ... misinformation surfaced on social media about her gender. False assertions about her gender were fuelled by Khelif's disqualification from the 2023 Women's World Boxing Championships ..."
be changed to
"Following Khelif's victory ... she became the subject of widespread public attention and misinformation regarding her gender. Khelif had previously been disqualified from the 2023 Women's World Boxing Championships ..." JSwift4913:31, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

We have a disagreement on the origin of Kuči tribe. Currently, the article states that the tribe is Albanian in origin, but no citations address the claim directly. Current citations are based on language report 2 centuries after creation of the tribe. I tried dispute resolution but editors mentioned didn't want to participate and just ignored it. Should we change origins to mixed? I will provide more info in a reply to this RfC

Am I Racist? is likely to be a... let's call it... frequently-edited article over the next few weeks. As of right now, its only two citations are from twitchy.com. I've seen a few mentions of it in the archives, but mostly in the context of other media properties its parent company owns. Its page Twitchy calls it a "Twitter aggregator and commentary website". That doesn't sound super reliable to me.
Should a critical summary statement be added to the lead section?
Among the following options for that statement, if it is added, which one is worded best?
Some reported that the film was well received by critics, while others found overall reception to be more divisive.
Some publications such as USA Today reported that the film was positively received by critics, while others like the New York Times determined it to be more divisive.
Reviews of the film differ by source: some say it was divisive amongst critics, while others said it received positive reviews.
The film received positive and divisive reviews according to critics.
Please note: If the consensus supports Question #1, then the statement with the most support from Question #2 will be selected. BarntToust (talk) 14:23, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

There is an ongoing dispute about what roles should appear in the lead sentence of the article on Tupac Shakur. Possibilities include (in alphabetical order):
Comment - I don't think this is a useful question; none of the photos are from this year, and all of the photos that aren't the 2017 photo are fairly similar, so the !votes will go either to the 2017 photo or the recent photos. This is also at least the 5th time these exact 4 photos have been suggested, and each time it is not a useful exercise. There needs to be a truly meaningful attempt to determine if consensus has changed from the (until recently changed) 2023 photo that was in use, hopefully by an as-yet-uninvolved party. I suggested a simple "use the 2017 photo or a more recent photo" poll first to make the issues more clearly separated but this advice has so far been ignored.

disallowed original research in the sense that it is an editorial synthesis of published material that implies a new conclusion?
Another study conducted by private company Conflict Armament Research at the behest of the European Union and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit found that external support for anti-Assad Syrian rebels "significantly augmented the quantity and quality of weapons available to ISIL forces", including, in the most rapid case diversion they documented, "anti-tank weapons purchased by the United States that ended up in possession of the Islamic State within two months of leaving the factory"

In the past month someone copypasted the entire history section from Committee for a Workers' International (1974) into this article.[3]. As a result much of the content of both articles is the same, except for the list of pre-2019 sections. Should the articles be merged or should they remain separate and should the pre-2019 history be removed give. the duplication?
Also multiple accounts that either claim membership in the CWI or appear to be members of the organization have been editing this article, removing links to the 1974 article, and obscuring the fact originally asserted by the current group that a minority faction "refounded" the organisation in 2019 and tnat it and another organisation, which was originally referred to as CWI Majority but has since changed its name to International Socialist Alternative, both claim to be continuations of the original group. References to this have been removed from the lede and infobox.

In articles on tournaments, should a full image gallery of all the tournament's venues, typically in a § Venues section such as 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup § Venues and 2023 Rugby World Cup § Venues, be encouraged or discouraged? To clarify, this is not a discussion on the methods in which such galleries can be implemented. This is a discussion on having them in the first place, and whether or not they add value to an article for readers with perhaps only a casual interest in sports.
