Move edit
I intend to make it so that when you "Go" on "AHD" you get The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language with an "other uses" thingie when you get there. As soon as I figure out how to do that, that is. --Milkbreath (talk) 18:42, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Just to clarify: You want to move AHD to AHD (disambiguation), and then redirect AHD to The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, correct? I think you need to offer some justification for such a move, some evidence that American Heritage Dictionary is clearly the primary referant of AHD. Myself, I don't think of AHD being an iconic and widely used abbreviation for the dictionary, in the way that OED is.--ShelfSkewed Talk 03:31, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure yet exactly what changes I would have to make. I never did anything like this before, but I'm pretty smart and I think I'll be able to do it just fine. If anybody wants to help with the mechanics of it when the time comes, though, that would be great. As for the status of the acronym, "AHD" is the standard way of referring to the dictionary among language people, just as, yes, "OED" is for that British one. I'm sure in my own mind that it is a universal use and by far the commonest one among the choices on the present page here. Also, it is used in Wikipedia to refer to the pronunciation scheme. I'm not sure what evidence can be presented to convince the world outside my head, but I'll take some Google readings and post them here. --Milkbreath (talk) 16:01, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- It would also be interesting to see how many links there are to each of the members of the page as it currently stands. That might be our best proxy for the way that future links might build up. --AndrewHowse (talk) 19:30, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
