Country abbreviation/initials

It's generally acceptable to abbreviate country names in headlines -- and it keep them short. --Chiacomo (talk) 03:39, 20 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

No need to get upset! It's an unfortunate but true fact that most of the world recognizes USA as an abbreviation for the United States and UK for the United Kingdom while most of the world doesn't recognize SA as an abbreviation for South Africa (I suppose because it might be confused with South America, Saudi Arabia, et al). Precedent and practice indicate that it is acceptable to abbreviate some country names, including the US and UK. Let me know if I can assist you in some way! --Chiacomo (talk) 03:55, 20 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Your name does not appear in the block log. Maybe something else went wrong? Nyarlathotep 18:00, 20 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
