This RFC is to determine whether consensus exists for the inclusion of the following two sentences regarding a widely covered hoax that went viral during the 2024 Donald Trump campaign with regard to JD Vance. The hoax (as evidenced by usage of the word "hoax") is clearly false, however, coverage of it has been noteworthy, consistent, and it has clearly had an impact on the subject of this biography. The text below (as was used prior to removal without any consensus) very clearly states in Wikivoice it is a hoax, and absent consensus for removal, will be the text used in the article. 16:44, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
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."
In the article section "Islam", should the following sentence be added at the beginning?
Jinn have been called an integral part of the Muslim tradition[1] or faith,[2] completely accepted in official Islam;[3]
prominently featured in folklore.[4] It is also taken quite seriously by both medieval and modern Muslim scholars,[5] who worked out the consequences implied by their existence -- legal status, the possible relations between them and mankind, especially in questions of marriage and property.[3]

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
Provide your answers as Option 1, 2, 3, or 4 with brief explanatory statements in the Survey. Do not reply to the statements of other editors in the Survey. Back-and-forth discussion should go in the Discussion section; that's what it's for. Kovcszaln6 (talk) 13:56, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

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)

Regarding Trump's main photo of "2024 United States presidential election", there were several discussions previously. - example link:
Talk:2024_United_States_presidential_election/Archive_7
I'd like to confirm which photos can be used. I've included the top-voted options based on my understanding, but I think limiting it to three additional choices will give us the most efficient results. If a new, better image emerges, we can compare it after this RFC process
For this RFC process, I propose that we only allow users to vote for one best photo for the Infobox Trump's main photo. This will simplify calculations, as it's easier to determine the winner based on a single vote per user.
Official
>Every U.S. elections always using official portrait but not in presidential primaries, for example, in 1992 and 1996, Bill Clinton's official portrait was used for 2 times although two times were sequence 4 years ago. weakness of this photo: considering that the age is a concern among some voters, the images of relatively recent can minimise that concern. Trump's 2017 portrait doesn't show a drastically different Trump/no change in appearance.
Option1
>the long-standing "smug" image; This can be seen as an unkind and arrogant, but on the other hand, it can be seen as a confident looking
Option2
>it is smiling freindly photo with his face,like Kamala but Trump's expression in the his body is tilted to the left instead of facing the camera.
Option3
>it is smiling freindly photo and suitable camerawork - example: at eye level, face and body facing camera and he is also smiling like Kamala but there's just an impression that makes him look uneasy.

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 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.
