Talk:List of political parties in Cuba

shall we remove this whole "other parties formally exist and are allowed althought they dont participate in elections" and delete the several hoax political parties articles?

its actually original research with no sources and a hoax, there are no sources whastoever, and the 1992 change in the cuban constitution does not the formal legalisation of parties other than the addition to the constiution that the communist party is "defined as the “organized vanguard of the Cuban nation." and the new 2019 constitution says "The Communist Party of Cuba, as the only party"yes there are exiled parties but they are illegal in cuba

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Music/Music genres task force/Colours

Music genre infoboxes are currently color-coded based on what overarching genre they are a part of. Some of these color combinations do not meet contrast guidelines set out at MOS:COLOR. Should these shades be changed, should the colors be left alone, or should another system be put in place? Mooeena ● 💌 ● ✒️ ● ❓ 06:27, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

Talk:White genocide conspiracy theory

Should the deleted criticism of the conspiracy theory be included in the article? 17:23, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Mary Kay Letourneau

One view is that since many or most reliable sources state that Fualaau was 12 at the time, while other sources state that he was 13, we should either go with age 12 or state "12 or 13." This view argues that we should do either per WP:Due weight. The other view is that going with age 12 is more "titillating" and that we should go with age 13 because it is being "conservative." This argument is made per WP:BLP stating that "Biographies of living persons ('BLPs') must be written conservatively and with regard for the subject's privacy." A counterargument regarding the interpretation of "conservative" was also made.

For those seeing this from the RfC page, see Talk:Mary Kay Letourneau#age of victim for more discussion on the matter. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 02:09, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject World Rally

I've started this RfC because after lengthy discussion here and on article talk pages and an attempt to resolve the issue at DRN, the WikiProject is deadlocked on the issue of the table format in championship articles such as this one. What format should these tables take? Mclarenfan17 (talk) 04:06, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Michael Jackson

Should the article be restructured to group information about allegations of and charges for sexual abuse under one top level section? It is currently scattered through the article. Oska (talk) 09:11, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Conspiracy theory

What should the lead of Conspiracy theory be changed to? Leviv ich 07:16, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Talk:2019 Formula One World Championship

I've started this RfC because an ongoing discussion has reached a stalemate. Hopefully the voices of some uninvolved editors will help clarify the situation. The issue is as follows: how should the sorting function be applied to tables in the article? Specifically, we are interested in the entry table. Mclarenfan17 (talk) 04:10, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Antisemitism in the UK Labour Party

Please indicate which of the following should be in the article: (prior discussion Talk:Antisemitism in the UK Labour Party/Archive 8#29 Rabbis - hoax? A:

In September 2018, an open letter was signed by 29 rabbis from London Haredi communities stating that they were "shocked to learn about those that are claiming in the media that the Jews of Britain are outraged towards the Labour Party’s respected leader, Jeremy Corbyn", and went on to state that they had "no connection whatsoever" with what they described as "these irresponsible remarks". The letter was reproduced by a Twitter account calling itself "True Torah Jews" which is linked to the anti-Zionist Satmar Hasidic group. The authenticity of the signatories was initially dismissed as fake by the Jewish Community Council of North London, but they later backed down. However, the two activists who took responsibility for the letter, Shraga Stern and Naftoli Friedman, said it is genuine and claimed to have gained an extra five signatures since the letter was published, taking the total to 34.

C:

In September 2018, a letter organized by London Haredi activist Shraga Stern in defense of Corbyn decried "fake antisemitism smears". While pro-Corbyn campaigners utilized the letter, Stern himself was condemned for saying he had the support of a large block of Stamford Hill's Haredi community by leaders of the community who said he did not speak for the community. In the January 2019 Holocaust Memorial Day Trust event, after a photo was circulated of Corbyn with Stern and Stamford Hill Jewish Community Council founder Levi Schapiro, Schapiro said he was "unexpectedly dragged" into the photo and that "I don't support Corbyn and never did.".

D: Nothing at all.

Talk:Center for Immigration Studies

As noted by Grayfell, there was not a proper RfC for this. I am recreating Kaldari's attempt with the proper RfC template.

To reiterate, Kaldari's question was: "Should hate group designation be mentioned in the lead?". At issue is whether or not such a mention would be WP:DUE.
