Self-Contradiction (RE: OPEC Countries)

Hi, I'm brand new to editing Wikipedia, but I noticed that this article seems to contradict itself. "OPEC countries" is seemingly given as an example of this phenomenon in the "Reasons for Use" section but is later explicitly listed as a non-example. I unfortunately don't have a solution to offer, but it seems like the article could be improved by resolving that. Chollasequoia (talk) 22:30, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Chollasequoia: The entire "Non-examples" sub-section is unsourced and has been for at least a year now, meaning anyone can just remove it at any time. - wolf 22:58, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The SIIMA does not follow the other examples

Instead of abbreviation redundant added word (explanation), it’s abbreviation (explanation) redundant added word. 188.149.105.238 (talk) 07:40, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

RFC on including DC Comics

Please consider joining the feedback request service.

An editor has requested comments from other editors for this discussion. This page has been added to the following list:

Society, sports, and culture

When discussion has ended, remove this tag and it will be removed from the list. If this page is on additional lists, they will be noted below.

Should DC comics be included in the list? This was last discussed five years ago; however, little participation in that RFC led to consensus being established. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 19:24, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose this is article is about RAS itself, and not a list article for every example of it. There are probably dozens of other examples that people could think of, but it simply adds nothing to the page to include every single example of it. Even more importantly, DC has long since changed its name to just be DC and not stand for anything, it is highly debatable if RAS even applies here in the first place. I just do not see how including it helps improve the article in any way. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 19:24, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose Go ahead and remove it, I guess. This isn't the best example on that list. Yes, it is probably an example of RAS when comics nerds who are aware of the history of the DC say "DC Comics" (no matter the current status of DC's name ... changing your companies name or what you say it means doesn't change the language, or necessarily what people think it means). But given the complicated history of the name/trademark/brand DC, there's kind of an asterisk here. If we're only going to have a few examples, make them the best ones, not the ones that provoke responses of "Well, actually...". Vadder (talk) 21:55, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
