When describing Mahatma Gandhi's last hunger strike (or "fast-unto-death") undertaken on 12 January 1948, should we say that in addition to stemming the religious violence (or restoring the peace):
"the fast also sought to pressure the Indian government to pay out1 cash assets owed to Pakistan?" (Note: 1: pay out = pay a large sum of money from funds under one's control.)
(both in the lead and the relevant section)
(in the relevant section, but not in the lead)
"the fast also sought to indirectly (or implicitly) pressure the Indian government to pay out cash assets owed to Pakistan?
(both in the lead and in the relevant section)
( in the relevant section, but not in the lead)
"the fast also caused (or led) the Indian government to pay out cash assets owed to Pakistan."
(both in the lead and in the relevant section)
(in the relevant section, but not in the lead)
Make no mention of cash assets in this context anywhere in the article.
"In the months following, Gandhi went on hunger strike several times to stop the religious violence. The last, begun in Delhi on 12 January 1948 when he was 78, also aimed to restore to Pakistan its share of cash assets of undivided British India. The fast was an important factor in the Indian government's decision to pay out the assets during a time when India and Pakistan were engaged in a war over the disputed territory of Kashmir."
This RfC concerns the first two sentences of the lead's second paragraph. (snapshot at the time of writing: [1])
Should "Following Khelif's victory ... misinformation surfaced on social media about her gender. False assertions about her gender were fuelled by Khelif's disqualification from the 2023 Women's World Boxing Championships ..."
be changed to
"Following Khelif's victory ... she became the subject of widespread public attention and misinformation regarding her gender. Khelif had previously been disqualified from the 2023 Women's World Boxing Championships ..." JSwift4913:31, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

This RfC concerns the two last sentences in the lead: "No medical evidence that Khelif has XY chromosomes or elevated levels of testosterone has been published.[8] Khelif was born female and identifies as female.[9]"
Should those two sentences be changed to: "Khelif was assigned female at birth and identifies as female". Huldra (talk) 23:45, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Which of the following should we use to refer to Kamala Harris when discussing her African ancestry:
African-American
Black
Note: There are cases where she may be referred to as Asian-American either alone or with one of the above two. This RfC is only about her African ancestry as that has been the greatest area of contention. This does not apply to quotes. You will find a lengthy discussion on the subject above at:[2].

Add the tag {{rfc|xxx}} at the top of a talk page section, where "xxx" is the category abbreviation. The different category abbreviations that should be used with {{rfc}} are listed above in parenthesis. Multiple categories are separated by a vertical pipe. For example, {{rfc|xxx|yyy}}, where "xxx" is the first category and "yyy" is the second category.
