This RFC is to determine whether consensus exists for the inclusion of the following two sentences regarding a widely covered hoax that went viral during the 2024 Donald Trump campaign with regard to JD Vance. The hoax (as evidenced by usage of the word "hoax") is clearly false, however, coverage of it has been noteworthy, consistent, and it has clearly had an impact on the subject of this biography. The text below (as was used prior to removal without any consensus) very clearly states in Wikivoice it is a hoax, and absent consensus for removal, will be the text used in the article. 16:44, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
In the article section "Islam", should the following sentence be added at the beginning?
Jinn have been called an integral part of the Muslim tradition[1] or faith,[2] completely accepted in official Islam;[3]
prominently featured in folklore.[4] It is also taken quite seriously by both medieval and modern Muslim scholars,[5] who worked out the consequences implied by their existence -- legal status, the possible relations between them and mankind, especially in questions of marriage and property.[3]
Morris asserts that the initial order to evacuate came from local Arab leadership, and that the Arab Higher Committee endorsed it post factum. Among the evidence he cites are British and American intelligence reports, an assessment by the High Commissioner of Palestine, as well as statements by the Haifa Arab Emergency Committee on 22 April 1948. According to Morris, possible reasons included clearing the way for Transjordan's impending entry into the war and avoiding the population being used as hostages.[6]

Regarding Trump's main photo of "2024 United States presidential election", there were several discussions previously. - example link:
Talk:2024_United_States_presidential_election/Archive_7
I'd like to confirm which photos can be used. I've included the top-voted options based on my understanding, but I think limiting it to three additional choices will give us the most efficient results. If a new, better image emerges, we can compare it after this RFC process
For this RFC process, I propose that we only allow users to vote for one best photo for the Infobox Trump's main photo. This will simplify calculations, as it's easier to determine the winner based on a single vote per user.
Official
>Every U.S. elections always using official portrait but not in presidential primaries, for example, in 1992 and 1996, Bill Clinton's official portrait was used for 2 times although two times were sequence 4 years ago. weakness of this photo: considering that the age is a concern among some voters, the images of relatively recent can minimise that concern. Trump's 2017 portrait doesn't show a drastically different Trump/no change in appearance.
Option1
>the long-standing "smug" image; This can be seen as an unkind and arrogant, but on the other hand, it can be seen as a confident looking
Option2
>it is smiling freindly photo with his face,like Kamala but Trump's expression in the his body is tilted to the left instead of facing the camera.
Option3
>it is smiling freindly photo and suitable camerawork - example: at eye level, face and body facing camera and he is also smiling like Kamala but there's just an impression that makes him look uneasy.

This page is for bringing attention to usernames which may be in violation of Wikipedia's username policy. Before listing a username here, consider if it should be more appropriately reported elsewhere, or if it needs to be reported at all:
you wish to have the block of a user reviewed. Instead, discuss the block with the blocking administrator (see also Wikipedia:Blocking policy § Unblocking).
Before adding a name here you MUST ensure that the user in question:
has been warned about their username (with e.g. {{subst:uw-username}}) and has been allowed time to address the concern on their user talk page.
has disagreed with the concern, refused to change their username and/or continued to edit without replying to the warning.
is not already blocked.
If, after having followed all the steps above, you still believe the username violates Wikipedia's username policy, you may list it here with an explanation of which part of the username policy you think has been violated. After posting, please alert the user of the discussion (with e.g. {{subst:UsernameDiscussion}}). You may also invite others who have expressed concern about the username to comment on the discussion by use of this template.
Add new requests below, using the syntax {{subst:rfcn1|username|2=reason ~~~~}}.
Please remember that this is not a vote, rather, it is a place where editors can come when they are unsure what to do with a username, and to get outside opinions (hence it's named "requests for comment"). There are no set time limits to the period of discussion.
Place your report below this line. Please put new reports on the top of the list.
My main question would be this:is there a real organization by this name, and is there any link between that organization and the content the user has been editing? Just looking like an organization isn't enough. If all you've got is seems to imply then I'd have to say Allow. Just Step Sidewaysfrom this world ..... today23:06, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
There's also North Coast Football in Australia, but that's probably a coincidence. I think a bigger problem than the username though is that this is a zero-communication account that has gone a year without making any edits outside mainspace. That's bound to cause problems down the line. * Pppery *it has begun...23:43, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
Agreed. That's the main reason I suggested a block in my initial correspondence at the admin's talk page, to require the account to communicate. I've seen "silent" accounts finally start talking with the community for the first time after being blocked, since it's the only way they can get back to editing articles. Left guide (talk) 00:13, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
I don't think that is in alignment with the username policy, "official sounding" is not generally a violation. Also, "North Coast Football" without evidence to the contrary, could easily just indicate an interest in... wait for it... football on the north coast.
I'm actually not sure I agree with the WP:RADAR concerns expressed here either, as the only talk page messages they've gotten were regarding their username, which has not been proven to be an actual problem. It also appears that they edit from a mobile device, and the notroiously awful mobile app does not support talk page notifications. At a certain point that doesn't matter if the user is causing actual problems, but, again, that has not been established. Just Step Sidewaysfrom this world ..... today01:56, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
Allow. I don’t consider this name to be “official sounding” at all, and see no connection to the North Coast Athletic Conference or any other entity, as “north coast” is a somewhat common geographical reference. FrankAnchor03:18, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
Disallow. They are clearly referencing the North Coast football conference, as opposed to a generic "north coast"(no caps). They may not be affiliated with the organization, so I would just soft block. 331dot (talk) 08:18, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
Allow. As someone who is not a football person, it doesn't feel official to me and seems okay. Would a compromise position be using lowercase for the username? Jessamyn (my talk page) 15:14, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I can assure you that my username has not connection to any orginization. It was just a collection of random words which I selected when making the account (which is mostly college football edits) of course I’d like to keep my account, however, if the name serves any issues, then a block is understandable and I can start a different account under a different, unrelated name North Coast Football (talk) 14:28, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
Allow - This reminds me of my own RFCN back in the day, in which someone mistook my username for an abbreviation for some sort of organization. I can see how the confusion could arise, but I don't believe it is to the point that the username is problematic. 331dot's capitalization argument is a non-issue for me, since capitalizing the first letter in each part of a name is standard in English. I also do not believe this username is "official sounding", but maybe it sounds more official outside of American English. - ZLEAT\C17:17, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
