[edit] Canadian subnational postal abbreviations

I think that this is a useful little list. It meets all of the criteria, and I don't think it needs a picture. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 23:17, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Comments - Hmm - that list is really pushing the bounds of "useful"ness - the abbreviations themselves are not linked (and I doubt linking the two- / threee- / four-letter acronyms would be very helpful). Ideas for improvement: a map of Canada, with the provinces/territories marked would be good; what are the French names of the provinces/territories; can you add dates when the "former" abbreviations were in use. -- ALoan (Talk) 11:23, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose - I don't really agree it's a list. I think it is a poor and stubby article suffereng from prose deficiency. For one, there is no "list" in the title, so I would assume you would tell more about history/use of those abbreviations. Also, having a list of 13 items... hm... how useful it is? In any ways, even if it judged to be a list, I think it is pretty poor and does not represent the best work of Wikipedia. I agree with ALoan's suggestions above. Plus more prose would be good. For example, how does it work with Canadian postal code? Renata 13:22, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose, not really that useful IMO. Phoenix2 22:37, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
  • comment: Could we remove the "Abbreviations alphabetically" line from the table? There is way too much shades of grey there and it doesn't seem at all necessary. Rmhermen 15:45, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
