Talk:China-Burma-India theater

Could you please rename this in accordance with CZ rules? Thanks Martin Baldwin-Edwards 13:48, 25 June 2008 (CDT)

It is commonly called CBI. What rules apply? Richard Jensen 14:05, 25 June 2008 (CDT)

The Naming Conventions do not permit you to use acronyms, unless they are very commonly used (like FBI). CBI in British English means Confederation of British Industry, for example. Please try to avoid putting article titles which require prior knoweldge: this is not the way to make an encyclopedia. Martin Baldwin-Edwards 15:25, 25 June 2008 (CDT)

Martin's memory is faulty for the CZ Naming Convention does not mention acronyms at all, but does call for the most common term, even if it is less formal (like Bill Clinton). . Her's a case where the Editorial Council needs to get down to serious work on naming conventions.Richard Jensen 15:36, 25 June 2008 (CDT)
