Talk:2024 United States presidential election

In March, a consensus was established not to use Trump's official presidential portrait from 2017 (right) in the infobox for this article. However, since then, editors have been unable to decide on which photo to use as a replacement (alternative options below), and some editors have expressed support for using the 2017 portrait for at least one of the following reasons:

They never supported switching away from the 2017 portrait in the first place
They think that reverting to the 2017 portrait would resolve the ongoing disagreements about which photo to use as a replacement

Should Trump's official portrait from 2017 be used in the infobox of this article? Vrrajkum (talk) 19:11, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Talk:2024 United States presidential election

There are two questions:

1. When a majority of major media networks make a projection.
2. When all major media networks unanimously make a projection.
3. When one major media makes a projection.
4. Other?
Which major media source(s) should we use for the projected electoral vote tally?

Talk:Longcat

Longcat (2002 – 20 September 2020) was a Japanese domestic cat that became the subject of an Internet meme due to her length.

The "known for" field in the infobox, at the time of the article's writing and per the above talk page section, said:

1) "Being long"

Over the last year, an editor has been advocating that it instead say:

2) "Subject of an Internet meme"

This RfC concerns the two last sentences in the lead: "No medical evidence that Khelif has XY chromosomes or elevated levels of testosterone has been published.[8] Khelif was born female and identifies as female.[9]"

Talk:Libertarian Party (United States)

With reference to MOS:ENGVAR and WP:UCRN: Are there reliable sources that substantiate the proposition that the term "social liberalism" is more extensively utilized in American English to denote "cultural liberalism" as opposed to social liberalism proper? 13:31, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Baseball

In late 2023 and early 2024, User:Spesh531 modified rivalry tables by adding team colors to home/away results columns and overall series columns of the table. Previously, only the individual season series column was shaded After some WP:BRD edits today, I believe it should be examined by the the Baseball wikiproject to gain some consensus moving forward. Below is an excerpt from the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry page, in two versions. Frank Anchor 19:43, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Talk:2024 Summer Olympics

The "Participating National Olympic Committees" section is all over the place. The two maps don't match agree with one another, nor do they agree with the text and the table. For example, why is Russia shaded green in the first map? — Kpalion^(talk) 21:09, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
