Left and right wing extremes
Left, and right wings are often extremes in certain fields, and often some fields are attributed to left or right wing policy, which is ridiculous. Why left wing politics is typically presented as anarchism and right wing policy is presented as fascism? In Europe, you can notice that some right wing media want to present left wing policy as supporting illegal migration to European Union while right wing policy is presented by left wing media as discrimination for other nations. Why we simply can't have strong external borders without illegal migration like 50 years ago, and open "borders" in Europe (Schengen)? Eurohunter (talk) 13:19, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Verifiability dispute at Talk:Right-wing populism
A neutral review would be appreciated on a dispute on historical-comparative content at right-wing populism over verifiability: whether the editor has met WP:Burden (or if WP:V has been correctly applied I suppose?) after I removed a large amount of content for failing WP:Verifiability. (WP:3O told me to ask a WikiProject, but note that the facts and sources themselves are not being challenged at this point -- this is WP:V.) SamuelRiv (talk) 23:24, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

 Hello, |
Task Force proposal
I would like to propose a task force for preparing pages for deaths of political figures. I got the idea from Wikipedia talk:In the news. This could function like Wikipedia:WikiProject British Royalty/Operation London Bridge task force. If anybody has any questions, ideas or name proposals please reply.

Getting the category name right
Hello. A few countries have (or had) a consultative body made up of traditional chiefs (which are not upper houses of a legislature). It would be good to have them all in a category, but I was struggling to decide what it should be called. Perhaps something like Category:Traditional consultative bodies?
The ones I can think of are:
- Council of Chiefs (Nauru)
- Council of Iroij (Marshall Islands)
- Council of Traditional Leaders (Namibia)
- Great Council of Chiefs (Fiji)
- House of Ariki (Cook Islands)
- Malvatu Mauri (Vanuatu)
- National House of Traditional Leaders (South Africa)
- Ntlo ya Dikgosi (Botswana)
- Traditional Councils in the Yap State
- Zimbabwe Council of Chiefs (I am not sure this one is really consultative though)
Clarification on categories named similarly to Category:Russian nationalists - "nationalists from Russia" or "adherents of Russian nationalism"?
I've seen some categories named similarly to this that seem a bit ambiguous, such as Category:Ukrainian fascists and would like some clarification. Namely, does this category, and by extension similarly named categories, refer to "fascists from Ukraine" or "adherents of Ukrainian nationalist fascism"? While there is significant overlap between those groups, they should not be treated as one in the same. Pavel Gubarev is a good example, being a Russian nationalist fascist from Ukraine. Should he be placed in Category:Russian fascists or Category:Ukrainian fascists? I'd say that the "adherents of Ukrainian nationalist fascism" or "adherents of Russian nationalism" interpretation would make more sense, but it would be useful to have explicit clarification on this subject.

Political international
Courtesy link: Talk:Political international § Original research, sourcing, title, and notability
I've tagged numerous problems at the Political international article, and some feedback at Talk would be good. The main problem is that it seems to be original research from beginning to end. I'm not even sure there's a notable topic behind it, as initial searches were not fruitful. Lots more details at the discussion I started. Normally, I'd ping a few of the top editors or recent ones but no one stood out, it just kind of grew slowly from a lot of editors over time. Ironically, purely from the tags I added just now, I'm already the #2 editor at the article. So, I'm bringing it here instead, in case anyone is interested. If not, I'll probably take it to WP:Afd after a week or so, but if there's a real topic there, I hope someone can rescue the article. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 02:56, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Removing political position from infobox
Does anyone know why a user would make more than a dozen edits removing the political position from the pages of US political parties and put "Longstanding consensus not to include political positions for the democratic or republican parties" in their edit summary?
For reference, see [edit here]. skarz (talk) 16:30, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- It's true that both the Republican and Democratic main articles don't include political positions per consensus – so they're right about that, at least. I'm not aware of any consensus that it applies to affiliated parties, however. I'd assume they're good faith in that they think it applies to affiliates, but I'm unsure if it actually does. — Czello (music) 16:47, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- AFAIK, the consensus to exclude from the infoboxes, covers only the federal political parties. GoodDay (talk) 16:53, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- Not going to read the massive wall of text but it would appear at a surface level that you are right. skarz (talk) 17:02, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, sorry everyone, I was the editor that started removing it. I now understand that it may not be included in the specific consensus I was talking about. I was worried it left open an area of potential bias. For example most state level democratic parties that have positions listed, put democratic state parties as center to center-left, however most state level republican parties that have positions listed put it as right-wing and far-right, and I'm worried it could be used to frame the republican party as a fascist or a neo-fascist style party. Thats all. My intentions were good! Sorry for the intrusion everyone.
- That's highly problematic putting any Democratic state party as centre or centre-left. By global standards they are far from. By global standards they are clearly neo-liberal/capitalist, which would put them on the right (centrist at best). Note: being progressive on individual issues is not a particularly left-right stance. TarnishedPathtalk 08:02, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- Why is an Australian applying global standard to American politics? skarz (talk) 15:36, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- Because people other than Americans read Wikipedia and would want a reference point to what they know? TarnishedPathtalk 05:32, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- I can't seem to find anything suggesting that the English Wikipedia writes articles specifically about American politics from a global perspective. Can you show me something I can read on that topic? WP:NPOV, WP:PG, and WP:MONDIAL are no help. skarz (talk) 05:49, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Adding Advocacy campaigns section to Global Strategy Group article
Hello, I'm an employee at the political consulting firm Global Strategy Group. I recently posted an edit request to the GSG Talk page asking editors to consider adding an Advocacy campaigns section to the article. As currently constructed, the article has plenty of information about GSG's electoral and corporate work, but not much about the polling, research, and communications work it has done on social and political issues like gun safety, abortion access, and criminal justice reform. If that topic sounds interesting to you, please take a look at my request on the GSG Talk page. (Link here.) I've done my best to write a section draft that aligns with Wikipedia's content guidelines, but I'm willing to take direction from independent editors, if they believe the draft can be improved upon.
Thank you, ES at Global Strategy Group (talk) 20:40, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
