Wikipedia style and naming

[edit ]

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather

Part 4 of WP:DISASTER reads
If there is no accepted name, the name should be formatted as follows: tornado, tornado outbreak, or tornado outbreak sequence, followed by Geographic location (only if necessary: City, State, Country, Continent, or any combination of these), followed by Year (or Month/year, or day/month/year if need be). Example: Tornado outbreak of April 14–16, 2011
Please rank these title options from most to least preferred for a non-year article:
  1. Narrow date range
    Tornado outbreak of January 2–3, 1234 when January 2–3 covers ~60% of sources
  2. Broad date range
    Tornado outbreak of January 1–4, 1234 when January 1–4 covers ~90% of sources
  3. Part of month
    Tornado outbreak of Early January, 1234, Tornado outbreak of mid-January, 1234, Tornado outbreak of Late January, 1234
    Each part is 10 days, moved forward or back 3 days for flexibility and discretion
  4. Month
    Tornado outbreak of January 1234

The next preferred option is used to disambiguate two events in the same (part of the) month. Year ranges can be used for December–January events. This RfC does not change the WP:COMMONNAME name/location parts 1–3 of WP:DISASTER. 216.58.25.209 (talk) 14:33, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

Talk:Denali

This article does not follow WP:COMMONNAME. I would point people to the precedents set by the move request from the name Bangalore to Bengaluru in 2024: Here.

Realistically, Bangalore is far more commonly used name both worldwide and in India. Regardless, that is an essentially anecdotal, subjective statement and there exists a WP standard for this reason. The Bengaluru moves adheres to the standard.

This article adhered to the standard when it changed to 'Denali' in 2015. It currently does not. It is factually true that the AP as well as Britannica are following the federal name change. This is not to mention that every map of the world in every textbook and atlas used in US schools from 1896 to 2015 used Mt. McKinley. I don't believe it is unreasonable to assume this to be proof of a status quo. The Obama name change was an obvious deviation from this well established status quo of more than a century – Wikipedia followed it still, as it was in accordance with COMMONNAME standards.

I would like to understand why that same standard is not being applied presently. We are either to say the COMMONNAME rules are in need of relitigation, or the article title must be changed to 'Mt. McKinley'. Jibolba (talk) 22:35, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Biography

As per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of Australia#First Nations group names in the first sentence of bio articles?:

A: Can belonging to an Aboriginal Australian or Torres Strait Islander group be considered a form of nationality?

B: Should MOS:NATIONALITY be edited to include an example of someone belonging to an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander nation with that nationality named as a demonym in the first sentence of the lead, similarly to the example given for Native Americans and Indigenous Canadians? E.g. the first sentence of the Ashleigh Barty article reads:

Ashleigh Jacinta Barty AO (born 24 April 1996) is an Australian (Ngarigo [1] [2] ) former professional tennis player and cricketer.

Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Film

Should "animated" be linked in the lead sentences of articles for animated films? Example: Toy Story is an animated adventure comedy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures.Matthew   / (talk) 22:25, 16 March 2025 (UTC)


Wikipedia policies and guidelines

[edit ]

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Newspapers/Notability

Can we adopt re-classify this informal essay on notability of newspapers as a formal Wikipedia:Guideline?

Wikipedia:WikiProject Newspapers/NotabilityWikipedia:Notability (newspapers)

Having a guideline for notability of newspapers addresses the challenge of supporting recent increased interest in developing Wikipedia's relationship with fact-checking, journalism, reliable media, and newspapers in particular.

One existing closely related guideline is for books. Here is that, and several comparable essays for media.

Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)

Template talk:Redirect for discussion

Someone removed {{rfd }} from Joshua Sturm prior to the RFD discussion being closed (not to mention moving that redirect prior to adjudication). I tried to list this above, but doing so did not gain a great deal of traction.

Should "do not remove this notice before the discussion is closed" be added to {{Redirect for discussion }}, similar to {{Article for deletion }}? --Jax 0677 (talk) 07:47, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
