OHMSS[edit]

Great work on the novel for FA! I have not read it-- I've read Casino Royale and Live and Let Die. Seen all the films and OHMSS (1969) is my favorite. Cheers, Jip Orlando (talk) 14:17, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks! If you enjoyed the film, you'll enjoy the book: the film is the closest adaptation from the book of all the Bond films. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 14:25, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Taylor Swift[edit]

The guide you cited (Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Abbreviations#Countries_and_multinational_unions) literally says: "Using United States instead of an acronym is often better formal writing style, and is an opportunity for commonality." Ippantekina (talk) 16:16, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've replied on the article's talk page, which is where the discussion should take place, rather than this quiet backwater. The fact you've just copied here what you've already posted at the talk page is a bit bemusing, but maybe just let the conversation proceed there. - SchroCat (talk) 16:19, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
