This category is pretty vague. Almost any topic is controversial to someone. Even teddy bears. What purpose is it serving, exactly?

Exactly how does one "dispute" a topic, request to have it removed, flag it as controversial, or add notations such as "citation needed""unclear""disputed" etc. in the body of the article itself? Howaboutyouthinkaboutit ( talk) 03:39, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
What is the difference of pages listed in this category, and pages listed in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_controversial_articles? Is the list in this category dynamic and changes overtime (contains only pages currently having "controversial" template) compared to the other page that lists past controversial issues? Or, is it because that pages listed in the other URL are those that can be added if the page has other dispute templates such as "disputed", and this category only contains those with "controversial" temple? Can someone clarify, what's the difference of these two lists, and what's the purpose of this category?
Would someone remove all the archives in this category and leave only the current talk page? Skinnyweed 09:34, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
This category is huge! I think it would be smart to subcategorize. ⇔ ChristTrekker 16:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
There have been some links to Debatepedia as a non-NPOV wiki site for controversial issues. Is this relevant to this category, and are these links appropriate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.199.82.172 ( talk) 01:54, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
I went through the list of controversial topics and found that religion-related topics were often included in the list, with the Roman Catholic Church having a high number of affiliated controversies. However, I find that this is a bit unfair, since what is maybe controversial for Jews, Homosexuals and Atheists may not necessarily be controversial for Catholics and other Christians. There is a widespread tendency among many social movements to regard opposite views as merely controversial, without taking the time to debate or examine them, and in fact this is at the very heart of political correctness.

The box on the top says the articles in this list are under dispute. Is there presence in the list disputed, or is the article content disputed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MutantPlatypus ( talk • contribs) 10:02, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
