Countries
editWould it be useful to have a complete list of all countries/territories that use the .org.xx system for [non-profit] organizations? I'm sure that there are more countries that do so, not just UK, China, Mexico, and NZ. --seav 12:10, Aug 6, 2003 (UTC)
- You can add Thailand and Japan for sure, only that it is .or.th and .or.jp respectively. andy 12:12, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Unfortunately used for porn as well
editWhy unfortunately? Is porn too unpure to .org? :P -- EduardoPadoan

In the 'History' section; '.us' was not established in January 1985. 240B:252:381:6800:6486:23FF:FEA7:7CE3 (talk) 12:12, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. --TheImaCow (talk) 14:26, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
- Per RFC 920 the domain was certainly defined a few months before 1985, so it remains to be defined what the term established exactly means. I suppose that it means installed in the DNS, which is reasonable and probably documented, in addition to be the date listed in WHOIS queries. kbrose (talk) 17:33, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
- The .us page says 'Introduced February 15, 1985', all other domain pages mentioned say 'Introduced January 1, 1985'. 240B:252:381:6800:6486:23FF:FEA7:7CE3 (talk) 03:12, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
- Have reworded. – Thjarkur (talk) 11:48, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Pronunciation
editThe article mentions "an .org domain" at one point. If one pronounces ".org" as "org" then this is correct. But, if one pronounces the TLD as "dot org", then the phrase should be "a .org domain" instead. I don't know what the most common way of pronouncing it would be. Perhaps the sentence should be rephrased to avoid the issue. CapnPhantasm (talk) 00:45, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Clarify Mitre
editThe history section mentions "Mitre Corporation" which is misleading for those that don't know or didn't lookup that it is a not-for-profit corporation. Suggest Mitre (not-for-profit) Corporation.71.230.16.111 (talk) 18:54, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
