Talk:List of acronyms: 0–9

message: COD is an initialism in my experience
:I agree, it's pronounced 'see-oh-dee', unless one thinks of the fish . BTW, see my suggestion above, regarding merging of the two lists, which would lead to less confusing in such matters. --Wernher 13:14, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)

message: I wish to submit to community an idea for a new format for this page which represents the item/definition relationship of the data herein expressed. Given the following example of an entry under the current format, please examine the same entry in the revised format.
Current style:
* ATM - (i) automated teller machine - asynchronous transfer mode - at the moment
Proposed revised style:
;ATM : (i) Automated teller machine.
: (i) Asynchronous transfer mode.
: (i) At the moment.
I believe that this format offers several advantages:
* Empasizes the relationship between acronym/initialism and expansion.
* Allows for easier organization of multiple expansions.
* Allows for seperate expansions to be listed as different types [that is, i versus a versus p].
Of great importance is that each entry is not wikified, but rather each expansion is wikified, allowing for multiple definitions to be formatted the same way as single defintions.
At anyrate, I hereby submit my idea to the community for judgement.

:: That might work well, although I'd be interested in hearing some opinions from others first. The page, as it stands, is messy and disorganized. It needs standardization—of linking, capitalization, punctuation, and translation. Your idea might help make that easier. My primary concern would be the length it would add to the page. From what I understand, there is a maximum number of lines that most browsers can support for a webpage, and that might push us over. Defenestration 21:39, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  there is no maximum number of line in browsers. you could have "War and Peace" in a single html page. i agree with the proposed style change. --Quiddity 07:59, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: The article pseudo-blend is listed on Wikipedia:Most wanted articles with 20 links.  All these links come from List of acronyms and initialisms and its sublists.  Further, all Google hits for pseudo-blend seem to be either Wikipedia mirrors or unrelated uses.  I am therefore removing the redlinks, since the use of the term on these pages seems to be nonstandard, and in any case it seems unlikely that this could ever become a real article. —Ilmari Karonen 16:29, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

message: all of the acronyms should be on one page--not listed by each letter of the alphabet on a separate page.  Making someone click twice is internet death.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.189.182.157 (talk) 17:25, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Can we name this something that it least could be correct? These hybrids are actual blends, not false (pseudo-) blends. Elsewhere they're called hybrids, but this is vague. Any suggestions?

How about merging the above talk pages into this one? Most of them are largely or completely empty and this page has little content and it makes little sense. I suggest a redirect for the empty ones and a merge into this one from the ones that have any content.--Keerllston 18:50, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Talk Pages Merge Proposal

message: As noted above (see #Structure), these pages are very hard to maintain: the disambiguation pages often show much more entries that presented in these lists (which in many cases are only one).
The disambiguation pages have since long ago used abbreviations in their lists (see Cats (disambiguation) for instance, through which I came here, using the "what links here" function), and this IMHO is the best way to maintain such lists of meanings for each acronyms. These pages are (effectively or potentially) huge, and as such very hard to keep up to date. Besides, having duplicated listings is counter-productive.
My proposal would be to move all content of these lists to the disambiguation pages (in case they aren't already there, that is!) and mark these lists as obsolete.
I know that for some of the one-meaning entries, both the disambig pages and the article don't exist and therefore the info displayed here would become "lost" -- but I don't propose that these lists be deleted -- only made into archives, still accessible (perhaps moved out of the main namespace).
What do you think? --Waldir talk 00:19, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
