Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spaceflight
{{rfcquote|text=
Should articles about spaceflight missions (e.g., launches and landings) present UTC first and local time in parentheses, or local time first and UTC in parentheses? The current WikiProject Spaceflight style guide recommends listing UTC first as space is not within any Earth-bound time zone, while some editors argue this contradicts MOS:TIMEZONE, which prioritizes local time where an event took place.
The goal of this RfC is to determine whether spaceflight articles should make an exception to MOS:TIMEZONE (if such a exception is needed) by standardizing on UTC first formatting, given the global and technical nature of these events.
Examples of formatting options:
- UTC first and local time in parentheses: June 4, 2022, 13:25:02 UTC (9:25:02 am EDT)
- Local time first and UTC in parentheses: June 4, 2022, 9:25:02 am EDT (13:25:02 UTC)
Please share your thoughts and rationale below. -- RickyCourtney (talk) 20:48, 25 June 2025 (UTC)}}

This RfC seeks to establish clear inclusion criteria for the "Notable People" list, following a dispute over recent large-scale additions of individuals with primarily local careers. Murkut23 (talk) 18:24, 13 June 2025 (UTC)}}
Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters
{{rfcquote|text=
Should the spirit and intent of {{tq|usually capitalized in sources}} at MOS:MILTERMS be taken as consistent with the general advice on capitalisation given in the lead of MOS:CAPS or is the spirit and intent to create a substantially different and lower threshold for capitalising the types of events named.
