Talk:OK (disambiguation)

message: This was a redirector to Talk:Okay, so there was nowhere to discuss the dab page OK. I've just removed the redirect --ColinFine 22:26, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I've just removed an entry for a 'town in the Chillagoe district' in Queensland. There is indeed an OK Mine and Smelter at Chillagoe, but it is not a town, and since it is not apparently notable enough for anybody to have created a WP article for it so far, it does not seem likely to be something that anybody would come looking for on a disambiguation page. --ColinFine 22:31, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Removed from the dab page because there was no article to link to:
*Oljekompaniet, a Swedish oil company

message: A dab page is not an index to everything that contains the dabbed term. It is used to differentiate among articles that might use the same title. If OK Computer were an article about a computer (or store or company) named OK, it would be a valid entry on this page. But it's not; it's about an album named OK Computer and so doesn't require disambiguation from things named "OK". Ask yourself: Are users searching for this album likely to enter just "OK" in the search box and expect to end up at the article for OK Computer? Or, rather, are they going to enter "OK Computer"? And if we add this album, will we also be adding OK Calculator (album), OK Cobra (group), OK Connery (film), OK Cowboy (album), OK Go (band), OK Jazz (band), and OK to Go (album)? --ShelfSkewed Talk 13:05, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd disagree with you on the very first point; any page which might be arrived at directly by someone searching for information - as OK is - needs to have not only the 'pure' dab items, but also the 'logical connections' ones too, hence there is an existing In other uses: section. Ideally OK Computer should be in this latter section, however as there is already in music section someone put it there instead, for fairly obvious reasons. All of those other links you list (where, incidentally, someone might abbreviate the name to just the 'OK' as a shorthand) seem sensible to add to the In other uses: section I would have thought. --AlisonW (talk) 15:55, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If you disagree with my first point, you'll need to take that up at the Disambiguation talk page. And the other uses section is, again, for things named OK: a soda named OK, a league named OK, a company named OK, etc. The further uses you are thinking of are accomodated here by the Lookfrom links: To find other things that begin with OK. And does anyone really refer to OK Computer as OK? I love the album, and I own it, and I've never called it OK—I call it OK Computer. Ditto the band OK Go. I rather doubt your contention that anyone refers to any of those other things I listed as OK for short. --ShelfSkewed Talk 16:11, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Exact abbreviation of OK 

message: Hello my name is Andreas and today I decided to have a look at what the wikipedia says about the definition of the expression 'OK' and see if it is related to what I have heard about the definition of this expression.
I know that the definition of the 'OK' expression comes from the greek words 'ola kala'(όλα καλά) which means 'everything well'. I think that makes more sence than coming from names of historical persons. I do not know if I am wrong but it  makes sence to me according to the fact that many english words and expressions have greek origins. Thanks  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andreasskevoulis (talk • contribs) 20:50, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The page OK is a disambiguation page, not an article. The issue you raise is relevant to the article Okay, where the origin of the term is discussed, so you should bring this up at Talk:Okay. Cheers!--ShelfSkewed Talk 03:51, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

text: Please see ShelfSkewed's comment above: this is not the place to discuss this. Please see Okay, and if you wish to discuss the content of that page, post on Talk:Okay. --ColinFine (talk) 15:30, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

message: I've seen a whole lot of vandalism on this page recently, and I thought I would bring up the suggestion of it being a protected page? It would remove the hassle of having to undo so much vandalism. Just a thought. TravellerQLD (talk | contribs) 15:17, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
