Talk:List of antisemitic incidents in the United States

Just restarting this RfC after the discussion above with @Midnightblueowl and @Pincrete in regards to proposing a minor modification to the last sentence of the lead paragraphs in the featured article.

I believe the current sentence as it stands remains vague and generic in terms of highlighting the specific praise and criticism attributed to Lenin.

Option A) "A controversial and highly divisive historical figure, Lenin is viewed by his supporters as a champion of socialism and the working class. Meanwhile, Lenin's critics accuse him of establishing a totalitarian dictatorship which oversaw mass killings and political repression."

I propose Options B and C which are reflective of my earlier discussion thread with the two aforementioned users above.

Option B) ""A controversial and highly divisive historical figure, Lenin is viewed by his supporters as a champion of revolutionary socialism and anti-imperialism. Meanwhile, Lenin's critics accuse him of establishing a one-party dictatorship which oversaw political repression and mass killings."

Option C) "A controversial and highly divisive historical figure, Lenin is viewed by his supporters as a champion of revolutionary socialism and the working class. Meanwhile, Lenin's critics accuse him of establishing a one-party dictatorship which oversaw political repression and mass killings."

I think these options will contribute to adding greater specificity on the attributed characteristics of Lenin's political stature whilst maintain clear brevity. I would be interested if users are to support the sentence as it currently stands Option A) or support the proposed amended sentences which are either Option B) or C).

Should the July 23, 2026 Upper West Side stabbing of a Jewish congregant be included in this list if the entry uses carefully attributed language and reports that authorities charged the assault as a hate crime?

The incident received independent coverage describing the stabbing as apparently antisemitic, and prosecutors brought hate-crime charges. One editor contends that inclusion in this list would nevertheless state an unproven motive in Wikipedia’s voice and violate WP:BLP and WP:OR. Other editors contend that inclusion would reflect the reliable-source characterization rather than an editorial inference.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather

For a while now, criteria has been absent for tornado sections in tornado outbreak articles, which makes determining what needs a section and what doesn't much more difficult, so I have gone ahead and created some criteria, which is listed below. I am requesting feedback in order to reach a consensus and establish a set of criteria for all tornado sections that can be widely used. Another reason for this proposal is to allow pages such as List of notable United States tornadoes in 2026 to exist, which would allow for tornadoes that are notable but do not have a parent outbreak article with a dedication section to receive a proper section of their own, such as the Garden City, MS EF3 earlier this year. Despite causing over 20 injuries, damaging numerous homes and structures, tracking for 80 miles, and impacting several communities (including a mobile home park that was basically demolished), it has only has a summary that's a few sentences long in Tornadoes of 2026 and List of United States tornadoes from May to June 2026. Because of this, my proposed criteria will also be for List of notable United States tornadoes in 2026, so that it is much clearer on what can actually go on the page. @ChessEric we talked about this back in April, so I figured you might be interested in this discussion.

The criteria is below:

Tornado Section Criteria:

At least 2 to 3 well-developed paragraphs
- It should not include information on the aftermath.
It has received significant coverage from news sources
It caused fatalities and/or Injuries
- This is different for each case; if a tornado was destructive and/or has scientific, historical, or other significance but had no casualties, it will still be able to receive a section.
It inflicted significant damage
- This is different for each case; if an EF2 tornado was long-tracked but only significantly damaged a couple homes (similar to the Lena, IL EF2), it shouldn't get a subsection. However, a damaging tornado like the Merrillville, IN EF2 should receive a section.
Historical/Meteorological significance
- This is part of the reason I gave the Ringle, WI EF3 tornado a subsection, as intense and destructive tornadoes for that area are quite rare.

Example: Aroma Park, Illinois EF3 section:

At least 2 to 3 well-developed paragraphs Y
- Has three very long, very well developed paragraphs, and one more additional paragraph at the end.
It has received significant coverage from news sourcesY
- Received widespread news coverage
It caused fatalities and/or InjuriesY
- Three deaths, 19 injuries
It inflicted significant damage Y
- Over 600 buildings damaged or destroyed across two states.
Historical/Meteorological significance N
- Not really, pretty much a typical EF3 in this regard. An example of a tornado passing this would be the Union City, MI EF3 from a few days prior.

Result: The section gets to stay, 4/5 of the criteria were fully met. Lightbulb Noob (talk) 23:18, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

Talk:Shark Week

The current lead states that Shark Week was "created and produced by Tom Golden." The citation currently following that statement is Matt Cohen's 2014 article in The Week. That source discusses the origins of Shark Week as a brainstorming process involving a Discovery scheduler and founder John Hendricks, but does not appear to identify Tom Golden as the creator.

Other published sources attribute the original idea for Shark Week to Steve Cheskin:

A 1999 Washington Post article, "Into the Jaws of Danger," describes Shark Week as an idea suggested by Steven Cheskin and recounts Cheskin proposing "Shark Week" during discussions with Discovery founder John Hendricks:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/tv/1999/08/08/into-the-jaws-of-danger/d82017d7-d38c-4afe-987f-7650574d5613/

CBS News, in "How Shark Week Became Cable's Longest Running Brand," similarly attributes the original proposal to Steve Cheskin:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-shark-week-became-cables-longest-running-brand/

Discovery founder John S. Hendricks provides a firsthand published account in his memoir, A Curious Discovery: An Entrepreneur's Story (HarperBusiness, 2013), p. 218. Hendricks describes the original brainstorming session and recounts Steve Cheskin proposing, "Well, what if we created Shark Week?" Hendricks subsequently describes the group discussing how to implement "Steve's idea."

A 2015 Washingtonian feature also describes Cheskin proposing Shark Week during the original brainstorming session:

https://washingtonian.com/2015/07/01/the-ridiculous-bloody-scientifically-questionable-history-of-discovery-channels-shark-week/

Given these sources, I am requesting that uninvolved editors review whether the current statement that Shark Week was "created and produced by Tom Golden" accurately reflects the published record, or whether the lead should distinguish between the origin of the concept and production of the original programming block.

Conflict-of-interest disclosure: I work at REELZ, where Steve Cheskin is an executive. I have therefore not changed the disputed creator attribution in the article myself and am asking uninvolved editors to evaluate the sources and determine the appropriate wording.

Talk:Slipknot (band)

A lot of edit warring the past few days. So let's settle it here. Please comment on if you think Sid Wilson should be listed as a current or former member. I've listed the basic supporting evidence for each side below.

In support of CURRENT:

The main source that keeps getting referenced (even in third-party reliable sources such as Loudwire) is TMZ. TMZ is typically not considered a reliable source here.
There has been no official announcement from Slipknot, Wilson, or any other related party.
Not enough time has passed since the rumor/story broke, and so the article should be left alone until further notice. There's a chance that Wilson may reconcile with the band, and thus he does not get kicked out.
Social media statements from band member Jim Root and a member's wife made vague posts about this situation being either a rumor and/or having misleading details. This contrasts point 4 below.

In support of FORMER:

It's true that TMZ is not considered reliable; however, the website indeed has a track record of verified and confirmed stories before many other outlets. Regardless of someone's view on TMZ, it's not some random fan site or a sloppy WordPress blog. Also, TMZ posted a second follow-up story after their initial article, which possibly reinforces their reporting.
A huge number of other websites have reported Wilson's departure. Most, if not all, point to TMZ as a source, but it's to be assumed that (at least some of) these sites would've asked TMZ for verification, or at the very least, they had a high enough confidence to begin with.
Even though not a lot of time has passed since the rumor/story broke, the current events should be documented to reflect the current perspective, regardless if it turns out to be true or if Wilson reconciles with the band.
Other social media statements from related individuals (such as a confirmed close friend of Wilson) have stated that Wilson is no longer in the band. This contrasts point 4 above.

Talk:Mister Terrific

With the character move merging both Terry and Michael's respective versions to the page, I want to discuss how much of the article weight should factor for both; in my opinion, the weight should be more on the Michael Holt version; not because of WP:RECENT (Holt has existed for 29 years) but moreover, Michael's character is the primary version of Mister Terrific since his inception to the point despite debuting in 1942, Slone has around 300 appearances whereas Michael, debuting in 1997, has over 1,000+. Now I understand character's number of appearances doesn't guarantee anything but that's a noticably wide gap there. Furthermore, it would be a lot harder to argue WP:GNG for Terry wherein Michael has had some academic focus and coverage as a African-American superhero even before the Superman movie puts him in a spotlight even if the page has not (yet) highlighed such.

As it stands, the current inclination is to treat the characters somewhat equally. My edits prior would prioritize Michael Holt as the page's focus and Terry was moved to "other versions" as a sub-heading to address the character. I would like to have some comments and other considerations to be made about this topic about this. CosmicMordecai (talk) 00:13, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

The continued Israeli occupation of Palestine is generally considered illegal under international law. In 2024, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) found Israel's continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territory unlawful, pursuant to which an overwhelming majority of the United Nations General Assembly demanded that Israel end its presence within twelve months. The Security Council has not adopted corresponding measures. The government of Israel disputes this on the basis of its claims to the territory and maintains that the territory's permanent status must be resolved through direct negotiations.

Should the July 23, 2026 Upper West Side stabbing of a Jewish congregant be included in this list if the entry uses carefully attributed language and reports that authorities charged the assault as a hate crime?

The incident received independent coverage describing the stabbing as apparently antisemitic, and prosecutors brought hate-crime charges. One editor contends that inclusion in this list would nevertheless state an unproven motive in Wikipedia’s voice and violate WP:BLP and WP:OR. Other editors contend that inclusion would reflect the reliable-source characterization rather than an editorial inference.

The preceding discussion contains the sources, arguments and proposed revised wording. A.T.S. in Texas (talk) 02:46, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

Should we remove, or modify, WP:CREATIVE#3, which currently reads:

The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series)

Wikipedia talk:Did you know

Should nominations that have not received a response from the nominator be eligible for closure, ala DYKTIMEOUT? Here are some possible options, note that you can state a preference for more than one option:

Option A: Nominations can be closed if the nominator does not respond to the most recent comment or review within one week (notifying the nominator is not mandatory).
Option B: Nominations can be closed if the nominator does not respond to the most recent comment or review within one week, plus a ping or talk page message.
Option C: Nominations can be closed if the nomination is not approved within one week of a review starting.
Option D: Nominations can be closed if the nomination is not approved within two weeks of a review starting.
Option E: Status quo.
Option F: Nominations can be closed if the nomination is not approved within one month of a review starting.

This is a follow-up to the existing discussion regarding DYKTIMEOUT. Given that one of the reasons for the backlog is due to a large number of open nominations that spend weeks or even months without resolution. Given that it is common for nominations to go for a while without a response from the nominator, leading to languishing reviews, this is being proposed to add a soft time limit for nominations (independent of DYKTIMEOUT).

Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)

I propose removing the provision in Wikipedia:Political endorsements that allows local consensus to overrule our general policy that facts be sourced to independent reliable sources for organizational endorsements. Specifically, I propose striking the following sentence from the guideline: Local consensus can determine whether a specific list requires independent sources or sources connected to the organization itself, such as its website or official social media accounts.

Below is a series of proposals for changes to the good article nominations system. As there has been much discussion recently about the pros and cons of the current GAN system, but little consensus as to how it can be improved, it makes sense to propose all of these options to all editors, in particular those involved with the GAN process, in order to understand which proposals are popular and effective. Users are reminded that RfCs are for consensus-building, not voting, and that any !votes should be justified accordingly. 07:24, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
