:: I don't have a particularly strong feeling one way or the other as to whether [[G]] should point at [[G (letter)]] or [[G (disambiguation)]], but the proposal on disambiguation ''mechanics'', which most people seem happy with, does say that there won't be any actual article at [[G]], just a redir. I set it to point to the dab page because I assume most people would want one of the other meanings of G, not just the letter, but maybe that's an incorrect assumption. [[User:J. Noel Chiappa|J.

::: J. Noel, I've been wondering, since you included it in several edit summaries, what "dab" means.

Rename?
I'd like to rename this to G (letter) so that I can have a G (disambiguation) page, and link that to Acceleration due to gravity. J. Noel Chiappa 11:13, 1 June 2008 (CDT)
- Fine by me - Ro Thorpe 11:20, 1 June 2008 (CDT)
- Thanks! Will do. J. Noel Chiappa 11:28, 1 June 2008 (CDT)
- Shouldn't the most common or main use of something take the main article space? The letter "G" as an alphabet character is more commonly known than "G" to represent acceleration due to gravity. It might also be better to maintain consistency in naming conventions for alphabet characters. Mark Jones 13:01, 1 June 2008 (CDT)
- There's currently a proposal about exactly that, currently going through the queue. But for the letters specifically, we're currently talking about standardizing in a different way. Feel free to let your opinions heard on this topic! John Dvorak 13:25, 1 June 2008 (CDT)
- I don't have a particularly strong feeling one way or the other as to whether G should point at G (letter) or G (disambiguation), but the proposal on disambiguation mechanics, which most people seem happy with, does say that there won't be any actual article at G, just a redir. I set it to point to the dab page because I assume most people would want one of the other meanings of G, not just the letter, but maybe that's an incorrect assumption. J.

- My feelings aren't that strong on the matter either, other than for consistency. Someone will need to remember to make sure C, G (letter) (and any others) follow the standard.
- J. Noel, I've been wondering, since you included it in several edit summaries, what "dab" means. It now seems it probably means "disambiguation" but it initially confused me and will probably confuse others, especially new members. Could you avoid using Wikipedia-style neologisms as per Citizendium policy? Thanks. Mark Jones 15:16, 1 June 2008 (CDT)
