Is consistently using the capitalization used by sources (except for all-caps titles) considered an acceptable reference formatting style? 17:27, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

Part 4 of WP:DISASTER reads

If there is no accepted name, the name should be formatted as follows: tornado, tornado outbreak, or tornado outbreak sequence, followed by Geographic location (only if necessary: City, State, Country, Continent, or any combination of these), followed by Year (or Month/year, or day/month/year if need be). Example: Tornado outbreak of April 14–16, 2011

Please rank these title options from most to least preferred for a non-year article:

1. Narrow date range

   Tornado outbreak of January 2–3, 1234 when January 2–3 covers ~60% of sources

2. Broad date range
   Tornado outbreak of January 1–4, 1234 when January 1–4 covers ~90% of sources
3. Part of month
   Tornado outbreak of Early January, 1234, Tornado outbreak of mid-January, 1234, Tornado outbreak of Late January, 1234
   Each part is 10 days, moved forward or back 3 days for flexibility and discretion
4. Month
   Tornado outbreak of January 1234

The next preferred option is used to disambiguate two events in the same (part of the) month. Year ranges can be used for December–January events. This RfC does not change the WP:COMMONNAME name/location parts 1–3 of WP:DISASTER. 216.58.25.209 (talk) 14:33, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Biography

As per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of Australia#First Nations group names in the first sentence of bio articles?:

A: Can belonging to an Aboriginal Australian or Torres Strait Islander group be considered a form of nationality?

B: Should MOS:NATIONALITY be edited to include an example of someone belonging to an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander nation with that nationality named as a demonym in the first sentence of the lead, similarly to the example given for Native Americans and Indigenous Canadians? E.g. the first sentence of the Ashleigh Barty article reads:

Ashleigh Jacinta Barty AO (born 24 April 1996) is an Australian (Ngarigo) former professional tennis player and cricketer.

Should "animated" be linked in the lead sentences of articles for animated films? Example: Toy Story is an animated adventure comedy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures. —Matthew  / (talk) 22:25, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
