[edit]

The linked article for carbon copy does not reference courtesy copy at all. I'm not saying they are different things, but should this article point folks to an article which doesn't explain why they are used synonymously? -69.134.32.75 (talk) 19:24, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

[edit]

Cc → CC – Most of the things here are acronymized as "CC", rather than "Cc" or "cc". — Twinxor talk 03:01, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Oppose. This should not depend in any way on the orthography of the majority for any particular, ambiguous, short abbreviation/acronym/word list, especially the complete or nearly so listing of two-letter combinations. There are many here which are not always capitalized. Gene Nygaard 03:11, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. The most common form of the name is the WP standard. All forms of course will redirect to the article, so the question is presentation. Since many uses share this abbreviation, one must consider them all, and choose the most common form over all uses. It seems clear that "cc" and "CC" are most common, compared to "Cc" and "cC". 'Technical limitations' prevent use of "cc"; it is transformed into "Cc", which is very ugly as the headline (particularly since there are no vowels). "CC" is commonly used, as well as "cc", and since we can't have "cc", it should be "CC". -R. S. Shaw 19:16, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC
  • Support. It's a shame we have to choose, but "Cc" just doesn't look right. My other reason is that the "CC" list within the article is by far the larger. violet/riga (t) 19:38, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. violet/riga (t) 19:38, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This isn't the "name" of anything; it is a standard two-letter disambiguation format. It would be silly to flop back and forth with renaming as a few capitalized versions or uncapitalized versions and a few that can be either are added to the lists in any of these disambiguation pages. Either change all of them, or none of them.
Furthermore, even if "most common form" were the norm, it should be determined based on which of the two relevant forms is most frequently actually used, not on a count of the number of different variations which would use each form (often including some which use both). That's an argument we don't need to have on all of these disambiguation pages. It simply isn't important enough to even try to determine it in every case.
In other words, keep it simple, standardized, and don't waste a lot of time arguing about it.
The relevant pairings are "CC" and "cC" vs. "Cc" and "cc", not the pairings you used. The first letter is, by the nature of the implementation of titles and links in Wikipedia, irrelevant.
Instead, go argue with the people who implemented a scheme which requires capital letters as the initial letter of a title. That would be a more sensible argument to make. Gene Nygaard 19:35, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I agree with Gene. The most-common-form rule applies only to choices amongst various names for a single thing. Consistancy should be the main consideration. We have AA, BB, DD, ... therefore CC. Jimp 03:53, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why not have CC as the article name and [Cc]c (says he showing off regular expression knowledge) as a redirect? Philip Baird Shearer 11:23, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

That would be the result of moving it. Twinxor t 23:11, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Most common uses

[edit]

An unscientific observation based on cleaning up links leading to this page:

  • in articles, the most common link to this page was "cc" meaning cubic centimetre
  • in the Wikipedia-namespace, the most common link to this page was "CC" meaning Creative Commons

Courtland 01:16, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The cubic centimeter

[edit]

The cm³ is a perfectly acceptable SI abbreviation for a cubic centimetre, and would be quote appropriate, as well as customary, for instance in the context of referring to the size of a combustion chamber in an internal combustion engine. The millilitre would often be preferred for measuring liquids, though. -- Egil 08:04, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Volumetric footnote

[edit]

There is vandalism here, but I can't seem to fix it. Anybody else is welcome to try.

Courtesy Copy

[edit]

Is not technically a backronym, as an acronym spells a word, and cc doesn't spell anything. It's more technically an initialism (as described in the backronym page). Llamabr (talk) 16:57, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Clarification

[edit]

One who does stand-up comedy or continuously recites jokes, a "CC" . But why??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.9.5.200 (talk) 17:15, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone know what CC in relation to a Priest/Curate actually means? 78.16.85.197 (talk) 16:45, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Crisis Core

[edit]

I wonder why Final Fantasy: Crisis Core isn't included here? It's shorted down to Crisis Core, and even CC. NekoKiyo (talk) 09:10, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have added Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.[1] PrimeHunter (talk) 00:51, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CC-Closed captioning => Tehnology

[edit]

I suppose closed captioning is a tehnology as any other. I suggest a move unless opposed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.142.130.64 (talk) 14:48, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

complex conjugate

[edit]

In many scientific publications I see formulas like this:

I believe, that the general meaning of c. c. is "complex conjugate". Maybe this would be a good addition to the disambiguation page. Zeptomoon (talk) 13:47, 13 September 2010 (UTC) CC is a celebrity who is a teen that came from Australia to California to be a celebrity. She actually has a Stardoll which is CC — Preceding unsigned comment added by SallyCorn (talk • contribs) 19:50, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Soviet Union

[edit]

Is it common in English to write CC (resembling the Cyrillic СС - stands for SS, Sovetskij Soyuz) just as it is common to write CCCP (for USSR) in English texts? 77.175.45.61 (talk) 15:18, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

removed entries

[edit]

I removed the following entries as there was no clear indication in the linked article of the subject being known simply by the initials. The disambiguation page is not a collection of entries that coincidentally happen to have the same initials. older ≠ wiser 13:18, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Country Casuals

[edit]

What about Country Casuals? The well-known British (?) clothes retail brand was bought by Austin Reed about ten years ago (I think) and re-branded as CC. I think Viyella are part of the same group. 195.212.29.89 (talk) 15:19, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
