I am setting this discussion up, but expressing no opinion on the desired outcome.

Template talk:Infobox musical artist
Since it seems likely that |associated_acts= will soon be removed from this template (see here), is it finally time to add |spouse= and |partner=? Upon a cursory search of the archives, it seems that we last had an RfC about this matter exactly 10 years ago, by which time the parameters had been requested over 23 times. The requests have not stopped since then, and I've failed to uncover any new extended discussion regarding the matter.
There's many famous examples of musical acts with notable marriages/relationships to other notable individuals. In many of those examples, both individuals are often collaborators of each other. Just to name a few:

| Ferdinand Marcos is a controversial figure, recently there's been disagreement whether or not to use the term "kleptocrat" in the opening paragraph of this article, especially in a first-person tone. I find it disconcerting that other figures who can be compared to Marcos as similar such as Suharto has no mention of "kleptocrat" in any part of the article. Other figures in listed in the example section of the Kleptocracy wiki (Kleptocracy#Examples) has little or no mention of the term "kleptocrat" in their respective wikis as such I find this wiki odd. Another point I have raised is the term has become a pejorative in common parlance and I have discouraged its use when there are neutral alternatives of the term and I find its use in an encyclopedia unsuitable.
See section Talk:Ferdinand Marcos#Consistency with Wikipedia's use of the term "kleptocrat" for reference for the current discussion on the issue: Consistency with Wikipedia's use of the term "kleptocrat" Jay.zero21 9911 (talk) 14:42, 15 March 2022 (UTC) |

Talk:List of countries and dependencies by population
| It appears there's a problem with User:RayAdvait. This editor has started to edit Wikipedia since March 27, and has made many edits in this article as well as in various "demographics" articles (such as Demographics of the United Kingdom, Demographics of the United States, etc) which appear unsubstantiated and/or unsourced. For example changing the population of the UK in this article, and replacing it with a "June 2021" figure coming from God knows where (the ONS has not published mid-2021 population figures yet, they will do it only in September 2022), while not even bothering to change the source which still links to the mid-2020 population that this editor has now removed from the article and replaced with his "2021" figure: [1]. Same at the Demographics of the United States article, lots of new figures without new sources (the editor left the sources unchanged, they still refer to the figures deleted by this user). I haven't checked all the changes yet, but it doesn't look good. ព្រះមហាក្សត្ររាជ (talk) 02:55, 4 April 2022 (UTC) |
| Should the infobox line for religion be omitted from this page, as with other major religious figures (two useful parallels being the pages for Jesus and Muhammad), given the inherent ambiguities in defining the religion of a 'founding' individual?

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather
| Which color scheme is more accessible? Which color scheme balances accessibility and aesthetics?
The current colors have been used across weather for the past decade. I believe these colors are hard to distinguish between on track maps for the dots, particularly between the Category 1-4 range. There simply isn't enough contrast between the colors to tell them apart (C1 and C2, C2 and C3, C3 and C4). This has presented a challenge for me as a reader and editor with normal color vision and decent eyesight with glasses. I have to open the full resolution to tell the difference between the colors and even then it can be a challenge for some. This issue would be even worse for color-blind editors. We also have issues with the TS color and the timeline background for red color blindness (demonstrated in the above RfC). On the grounds of WP:ACCESS, I am proposing a change to the below colors, which increases the contrast between the weather colors. Please place comments in the discussion section below. As a compromise between keeping the old scale and improving for WP:ACCESS for color blind, I propose the following new scale. I would also like to make it very clear, Consensus was reached above to NOT have ANY links on colored backgrounds so the below colors only need to have AA contrast against black text.

Referring to the footnotes of references 97 and 98 which both include the entire quotes of the musicians, inside the brackets: [97] : "[Peter Murphy:] We were more aligned to The Clash than anything else that was going around. The Cure and those people really solidified what became goth, I suppose". [98] : "[Kevin Haskins:] I’ve always felt though that Siouxsie and the Banshees, who came before us, were more of an influence on the Goth movement. We chose to wear black, and our first single was vampire themed and the press tagged us. I can relate to it to a certain degree, but I feel that Bauhaus were more three dimensional, more art rock".

This page is for bringing attention to usernames which may be in violation of Wikipedia's username policy. Before listing a username here, consider if it should be more appropriately reported elsewhere, or if it needs to be reported at all:
- Report blatantly inappropriate usernames, such as usernames that are obscene or inflammatory, to Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention.
- For other cases involving vandalism, personal attacks or other urgent issues, try Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents; blatant vandalism can also be reported at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, which is sometimes a better option.
Do NOT post here if:
- the user in question has made no recent edits.
- you wish to have the block of a user reviewed. Instead, discuss the block with the blocking administrator (see also Wikipedia:Blocking policy#Unblocking).
Before adding a name here you MUST ensure that the user in question:
- has been warned about their username (with e.g. {{subst:uw-username}}) and has been allowed time to address the concern on their user talk page.
- has disagreed with the concern, refused to change their username and/or continued to edit without replying to the warning.
- is not already blocked.
If, after having followed all the steps above, you still believe the username violates Wikipedia's username policy, you may list it here with an explanation of which part of the username policy you think has been violated. After posting, please alert the user of the discussion (with e.g. {{subst:UsernameDiscussion}}). You may also invite others who have expressed concern about the username to comment on the discussion by use of this template.
