Talk:SS (disambiguation)

message: This page (as transferred bodily from `Ss') includes this line:-
Stockholm Skins, a neo-nazi organization in Stockholm, Sweden.
Is this organization important enough to be included here?
:Very likely not. At least until it gets an article. 
:Anyway, it seems to me that the best way to organize pages like this is not alphabetically, but using an estimate of what the most common usgaes are. Obviously this is not an exact science, but there are some uses of SS that are obviously much more common than others (the Stockholm Skins being near the bottom, and schutzstaffel being near the top). Anyone mind if I take a stab at reorganization, or want to have input on what the rankings should be? -R. fiend 16:52, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

message: My prof used the term SS for suspended solids and I had to look it up. I think it should be included in the SS disambiguation page under Biology.
Also, in the article for 'suspended solids', there is mention of 'settleable solids', also abbreviated SS, which contribute to the blocking of sewer pipes.

message: Would it be fine to write United States Secret Service, Commonly Abbreviated to SS under other. i'm new to Wikipedia but have been told that it's a good idea to consult the other Wikipedians. also, I notice that there's a br tag in the formatting. Does html formatting work on Wikipedia? Thank you! Cloaker416 (talk) 05:20, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for reaching out. With very few exceptions, we only include an article if the abbreviation is mentioned in the target article. In this case, the article suggests that the abbreviation "USSS" is used, but I'm not seeing a reference to just "SS". Generally html tags don't work in wiki markup and I didn't find any br tag when searching the source text here. Where are you seeing it? -- Fyrael (talk) 05:43, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: SS (disambiguation) →  – This is a follow-up to the discussion which recently occurred at Talk:Schutzstaffel#Requested move 28 March 2022. In that discussion, the idea that the disambiguation page should be moved due to the claim that "SS" no longer primary refers to Schutzstaffel was explored there, but no consensus was formed for either that page move or the proposed page move. In the previous discussion, there was evidence presented that readers looking up "SS" could reasonably/frequently be looking for other topics on the disambiguation page, such as the ship prefix "SS" (which can stand for "steamboat" or "steamship".) Also, a Google Ngrams search for "Schutzstaffel", "steamboat", "steam boat", "steamship", and "steam ship" shows that at present, "Schutzstaffel" seems dwarfed by "steamboat" and "steamship" in general. (Not sure if this illustrates how often these terms are referred to as "SS" individually, but seems as though recent books reference the naval vehicles over the organization.) For these reasons, I think it will be more help for our readers to arrive at the disambiguation page so they can figure out what subject they are attempting to locate.

replies: text: I don't think anyone is proposing anything that conflicts with PRIMARYREDIRECT. The discussion here is about why Schutzstaffel should or should not be the primary topic. -- Fyrael (talk) 14:15, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Surely what we care about is the behavior of users browsing Wikipedia, not what's produced by Google's algorithm. Google results and ngrams should count far less than our own metrics, which so far all point to the current primary topic being miles ahead of others. -- Fyrael (talk) 14:04, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, they certainly count less. But it's still relevant to note that for "SS" in Google, the Nazi organization doesn't appear first (or second, or third). ╠╣uw [talk] 11:07, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Wrong search term used! If you do a google search for "SS", enclosing it in quotes, Schutzstaffel pops right up to the top of the list, with the Wikipedia article being third. The two above are dictionary entries for "SS" being an abbreviation for Schutzstaffel. If anything, this is evidence that the Schutzstaffel should move to SS because the existing article title is not in ENGLISH, but the appreviation is a commonly recognized name in English. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 02:25, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: No, a correct search at Google even with "SS" in quotes does not give Schutzstaffel as the first result."SS" -wikipedia -wikiFirst result: Social Security. ╠╣uw [talk] 11:22, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
