'''[[Talk:Jhelum#rfc_B830DF4|Talk:Jhelum]]'''

{{rfcquote|text=

Should dialect articles follow the naming convention of [[Southern American English phonology]] (i.e. '''X English phonology''') per [[WP:TITLECON]]? Or should they follow the convention of something like [[Southern accent (United States)]] (i.e. '''X accent''') per [[WP:COMMONNAME]] (also WP:TITLECON in cases like Baltimore accent, Boston accent, etc.)? [[User:Wolfdog|Wolfdog]] ([[User talk:Wolfdog|talk]]) 13:33, 1 August 2025 (UTC)}}

I added {{Diff|diff=1136875922}} the Punjabi IPA for the name 'Jhelum', as per how it's pronounced in Punjabi, which has been done previously on articles (Pakistani and non-Pakistani article alike). This has been reverted {{Diff|Jhelum|diff=prev|oldid=1287834820}} by both @[[User:MSLQr|MSLQr]] and @[[User:SheriffIsInTown|SheriffIsInTown]] who believe that only the IPA of the national language, in this case [[Urdu]], should be included.

In short, the question is '''should the Punjabi spelling and IPA be included in this article, the native tongue of the city'''? [[User:نعم البدل|نعم البدل]] ([[User talk:نعم البدل|talk]]) 19:50, 29 April 2025 (UTC)}}

'''[[Talk:Ramon Casas#rfc_62A4BE9|Talk:Ramon Casas]]'''

{{rfcquote|text=

Should the lead of the article for the painter [[Ramon Casas]] label the subject "Catalan", rather than "Spanish"? While the question may appear minor, it is not, inasmuch as it is an example of low-level disputes that seem to occur regularly regarding Catalan/Spanish questions, e.g., the articles [[Talk:Empúries|Empúries]] or [[Talk:Siege_of_Gerona#Requested_move_1_October_2024|Siege of Gerona]].

'''[[Talk:Michael Caine#rfc_DF23384|Talk:Michael Caine]]'''

{{rfcquote|text=

Which phrase should be used: "retired English actor" or "English retired actor"? The former follows the linguistic rule that age should come before origin (see [[Adjective#Order]]). Other editors are claiming this adjective order implies that the actor has retired from being English. [[User:Barry Wom|Barry Wom]] ([[User talk:Barry Wom|talk]]) 05:36, 25 April 2025 (UTC)}}
