Talk:CR

Edit war

Please stop the edit war guys. --Cyde↔Weys 15:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

In terms of how brief or how long this list should be, I think that we should at least include any C____ R_____ that is the title of a Wikipedia article, especially if that article uses the abbreviation "CR" repeatedly throughout the article. --Kathryn NicDhàna 17:29, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

It should feature the two nations I'm aware of that start with CR (Costa Rica and the Czech Republic), Chromium and the Cree language at the top with the rest following. They're the few things that actually are commonly abbreviated to CR/Cr/cr and are of international significance. (Who the hell abbreviates country road to "CR"?) +Hexagon1 ^(t) 05:28, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Putting those few with major international importance up top and then the rest alphabetized below makes sense to me. And perhaps that sort of organization will be an adequate compromise between miniscule and messy. No, I've never heard of anyone abbreviating "Country Road" as CR, either... at least not in general use. --Kathryn NicDhàna 15:24, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the non-internationally significant ones, how about having to have sources that the term is in fact commonly abbreviated that way before including it? It would be a good way to filter out things like country road. +Hexagon1 ^(t) 05:43, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

If I uploaded and scanned my driver's license, which uses "CR" to refer to the county road I used to live on, would that be general enough use? See also a bunch of county roads in Morris County, Texas, and a few other random links. Next time I would suggest a bit of research before making ludicrous edits. I firmly believe that "County Road" is, in the United States, the most commonly understood meaning of the abbreviation "CR" (when both letters are capitalized). — Jul. 19, '06 [14:34] <freak|talk>

Hmm, didn't know it's abbreviated like that, but I still doubt anyone will type "CR" in an encyclopedia in an attempt to look at the county road article. But then again, we don't use the word county at all here in Australia, so I'm not certain. And while CR may usually stand for couty road in the US, this isn't the US Wikipedia, it is the English Wikipedia and it has to cater to acronyms used by English speakers everywhere. +Hexagon1 ^(t) 09:29, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Regarding sources: How extensive do you think these should be, Hexagon? Do you think it's enough to just link to a Wikipedia article with a C___ R_____ title and extensive use of the abbreviation, or should we include multiple external links? If so, how many external links do folks think would be sufficient without being overwhelming? Maybe three? --Kathryn NicDhàna 17:27, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Oh, wait, are you talking about sourcing them only on the Talk Page, or also in the article itself? --Kathryn NicDhàna 18:01, 19 July 2006 (UTC).

No, I meant the normal <ref> system, a source each should do, and the abbreviation has to be something someone would type in an encyclopedia to look for that article, I think. +Hexagon1 ^(t) 09:29, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

This should certainly not be a redirect, and yes - county road is often abbreviated CR. See [1], which includes some official sources. --SPUI (T - C) 14:37, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Wow, look at all those Country Roads. I am very surprised I'd never seen that abbreviation. I suspect it has replaced the old abbreviation, RR: Rural Route. --Kathryn NicDhàna 17:58, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Rural Routes are numbered by the Postal Service for Rural Free Delivery. County Routes are usually numbered by the county that maintains them. --SPUI (T - C) 12:10, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I’ve already asked for my freedom and all my money to be paid, I need to have access to all my credit cards, and other files information. I’m not into this games with the government. I’ve been down for a while. It’s time for me to go on top. Thanks. Scheid112233 (talk) 19:48, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Battery

I came here to find out what the CR on a battery for a car key device meant. Such a link should point to Watch battery and the C apparently designates the battery as 3V, and the R designates the battery as round.

I came here to find out the reason why the Cr is on my bank account. I need union bank company to explain to me the reason otherwise they will face any fraudulent transactions. Thanks. Scheid112233 (talk) 19:51, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Corporate responsibility

CR is an abbreviated form of Corporate social responsibility and is used by companies that offer training in this discipline. For example, see Two Tomorrows strategy and training pages. I linked the term to the Corporate social responsibility Wikipedia page. 3dimen (talk) 04:30, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

This is no need to argue or fight with me cause I’ve done enough for the entire world as they know. I am here for peace. I need power to be transferred to me. Scheid112233 (talk) 19:53, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Clean CR?

Maya Bohnhoff on Facebook:

Can anybody parse this? It's a congressman (Mark Meadows) responding to Tamara Keith's question after he stated that the shutdown was no longer about Obamacare, but about the veterans.

The question: if it's not about Obamacare, then why not pass a clean CR?

The response: "Because it, twofold.One is, is, that when you when you start to look, they say 'clean CR?' That it, it translates into into to truly a blank check, and, and so Obamacare is an issue for me and my constituents, but what happens is today is, we gotta figure a way to open it back up and, and with that, in opening it back up, when we start to look at these issues, it, it is critical that we make it, the decisions we, we make to be as least harmful as they possibly can be."

The only part of that I understood was the reference to the clean CR being a blank check. Only it's not. The check is for about $987 billion -- the numbers for government spending, arrived at through compromise between House and Senate.

I'm assuming the "it" in "open it back up" refers to the government, and that when they reopen it they want to make their decisions about unspecified issues, which may include Obamacare, mostly harmless.

Not sure what to make of this.

Me, either. Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff

Not sure what to make of this: Continuing resolution is under the other Other. —Pawyilee (talk) 13:56, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
