Talk:Polish cash-for-visa scandal
| Should we add "in Poland" to the start of this article?
Here is my proposal for adding the country in which this scandal is mainly focused:

| What infobox image should be used? 17:32, 25 September 2023 (UTC) |
The usage of either wording is quite prevalent in numerous sources. For the purpose of this article, which wording should we use?:

Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters
| Should MOS:COLON, MOS:ENDASH, WP:NCCAPS, MOS:SECTIONCAPS, and MOS:LISTCAPS be amended to allow for the first letter after a colon or en dash in an article title, section heading, or list item to be capitalized? InfiniteNexus (talk) 17:45, 20 September 2023 (UTC) |
| Should a {{distinguish}} hatnote pointing to the Stormy Daniels BLP be added to this article? ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 15:47, 16 September 2023 (UTC) |
Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Abbreviations
| The term "LGBT" (which stands for "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender") is quite ubiquitous, and it may be safe to think that everybody knows what does it stand for with no need to explicitly clarify it. Cambalachero (talk) 13:59, 12 September 2023 (UTC) |
| Should the term "most points in Ballon d Or history used in the article or there is consensus that there are no reliable sources on that and it is just original research intepretation of some journalist? While it is no surprise many IP or rare users add trivial stats to articles about Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi then I was shocked when User:PeeJay (experienced editor) restored this thing. Khelnow.com is not reliable source an that system of points does not make any sense. France football never make any officlal list of most points in history but if new term "most Ballon d r points in history" has been introduced then Messi would have more points than Cristiano Ronaldo and Johan Cruyff would have more than Modric. Back then there were much less !voters in that, although players could achieve certain places then they did not receive a lot of points: that is the problem. As France Football (or any other organisation as UEFFA or at least other reliable source) never published rnking with proper analyse there is no need to add such WP:NOTSTATS. Additionally it is featured article so that not reliable fake information about most points in history could butcher and disgrace the article. It does not make any sense if for 1956 Ballon d'Or first place holder had 47 points and for 2021 Ballon d'Or 9-th place holder had 58 points, in 2014 FIFA Ballon d'Or as points were "percentages, meanwhile in 2022 Ballon d'Or points were hidden, etc., so total mix up and, so big disapointed that not verifited thing was ever added to Wikipedia and yet resorted.

| Should this article include the Royal Standard of Ireland, the traditional provincial flag of Ulster, the Scottish Saltire flag, and the flag of England (as shown in this version of the article) to illustrate and provide a visual representation of the ancestral countries/provinces of the Ulster Scots? This has been extensively discussed above, but there seem to be too few editors involved yet to put the matter to rest with a clear enough consensus, pro or con, to move on. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 06:34, 8 September 2023 (UTC) |
Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility)
| For over a decade now the titles of articles about British monarchs have been at Elizabeth II, George VI, Edward VIII, etc. Likewise it has been 13 years since Maria Theresa of Austria was moved to Maria Theresa (discussion) and Louis-Philippe I of France to Louis-Philippe I (discussion), longer still since Napoleon I of France was abandoned for Napoleon. Three years ago the country qualifiers were dropped for titles such as Juan Carlos I and others (discussion), Carl XVI Gustaf and others (discussion), Elizabeth I (discussion) and others, Louis XIV and others (discussion), etc.
This year multiple attempts to move articles back to the Name Number of Country format failed: Alfonso XIII to Alfonso XIII of Spain and similar (discussion), Napoleon III to Napoleon III of France and similar (discussion), Elizabeth II to Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and similar (discussion) Should a point be added to WP:SOVEREIGNS to reflect these changes and explicitly endorse the use of shorter titles where no disambiguation is needed?
