Request for comment on referring to the leader of China in the Manual of Style

Please see this Manual of Style RfC on whether Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Xi Jinping should be referred to as "leader ___", "Paramount leader ___", "General Secretary ____", or "President ____". — MarkH21talk 03:34, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone take a look at the aticle? I need guidance and advise, and, if possible, some participation to craft and fix the article. One point - is there a shortcut to fixing citations (i.e. format etc.)? Aditya(talkcontribs) 13:33, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Should we redirect this page to Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style?

I think it'd be good for centralization. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 23:47, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Sdkb, maybe? This group was primarily created for a particular project about the MoS (to improve consistency), and I think that wrapped up some years ago. WhatamIdoing (talk) 01:08, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Short description for Marshfield station

There is a discussion on the appropriate short description for Marshfield station at Talk:Marshfield station which would affect several articles on the mass transit system of Chicago and other pages. The discussion concerns the purpose of short descriptions and whether local consensus or precedence overrides broader agreements on the purpose and style recommended for short descriptions in the encyclopedia. Members of this project and any other interested parties are invited to consider the implications and provide input. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 05:53, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
