Talk:Aristides de Sousa Mendes

The first sentence of the second paragraph of the lede section of the article currently reads:

As the Portuguese consul-general in the French city of Bordeaux, he defied the orders of António de Oliveira Salazar's Estado Novo regime, issuing visas and passports to an undetermined number of refugees fleeing Nazi-occupied France, including Jews.

Should the sentence be changed to:

As the Portuguese consul-general in the French city of Bordeaux, he defied the orders of António de Oliveira Salazar's Estado Novo regime, issuing visas to thousands of refugees fleeing Nazi-occupied France.

Talk:Femboy

There's been a lot of changes to both the lede image and the one in § Attributes, and discussions so far have been inconclusive, so it's probably time to have an RfC to get a formal consensus. I don't really like image RfCs but it's better than edit-warring. Below I've listed the four images that have been used in one or both of those slots, plus three mentioned by Ca above. If there's any previously used/proposed images that I've missed, or if anyone has other images to propose (see c:Category:Femboy), feel free to add them. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 07:24, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

Talk:Autism

The neutral point of view policy requires that articles "represent fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic". Does the Autism article as a whole currently overemphasize the clinical/medical model of disability viewpoint relative to the social/neurodiversity viewpoint?

Hi there, as I saw some suggestions in the AfD discussion here, due to the scope of the request, and the fact some people seemingly are opposed to my proposal, here's the RfC.
