In terms of how brief or how long this list should be, I think that we should at least include any C____ R_____ that is the title of a Wikipedia article, especially if that article uses the abbreviation "CR" repeatedly throughout the article. --Kathryn NicDhàna 17:29, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- It should feature the two nations I'm aware of that start with CR (Costa Rica and the Czech Republic), Chromium and the Cree language at the top with the rest following. They're the few things that actually are commonly abbreviated to CR/Cr/cr and are of international significance. (Who the hell abbreviates country road to "CR"?) +Hexagon1 (t) 05:28, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

- Putting those few with major international importance up top and then the rest alphabetized below makes sense to me. And perhaps that sort of organization will be an adequate compromise between miniscule and messy. No, I've never heard of anyone abbreviating "Country Road" as CR, either... at least not in general use. --Kathryn NicDhàna 15:24, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

- Regarding the non-internationally significant ones, how about having to have sources that the term is in fact commonly abbreviated that way before including it? It would be a good way to filter out things like country road. +Hexagon1 (t) 05:43, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- If I uploaded and scanned my driver's license, which uses "CR" to refer to the county road I used to live on, would that be general enough use? See also a bunch of county roads in Morris County, Texas, and a few other random links. Next time I would suggest a bit of research before making ludicrous edits. I firmly believe that "County Road" is, in the United States, the most commonly understood meaning of the abbreviation "CR" (when both letters are capitalized). — Jul. 19, '06 [14:34] <freak|talk>

- Hmm, didn't know it's abbreviated like that, but I still doubt anyone will type "CR" in an encyclopedia in an attempt to look at the county road article. But then again, we don't use the word county at all here in Australia, so I'm not certain. And while CR may usually stand for couty road in the US, this isn't the US Wikipedia, it is the English Wikipedia and it has to cater to acronyms used by English speakers everywhere. +Hexagon1 (t) 09:29, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

- Regarding sources: How extensive do you think these should be, Hexagon? Do you think it's enough to just link to a Wikipedia article with a C___ R_____ title and extensive use of the abbreviation, or should we include multiple external links? If so, how many external links do folks think would be sufficient without being overwhelming? Maybe three? --Kathryn NicDhàna 17:27, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

- Oh, wait, are you talking about sourcing them only on the Talk Page, or also in the article itself? --Kathryn NicDhàna 18:01, 19 July 2006 (UTC).

This should certainly not be a redirect, and yes - county road is often abbreviated CR. See [1], which includes some official sources. --SPUI (T - C) 14:37, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- Wow, look at all those Country Roads. I am very surprised I'd never seen that abbreviation. I suspect it has replaced the old abbreviation, RR: Rural Route. --Kathryn NicDhàna 17:58, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

- Rural Routes are numbered by the Postal Service for Rural Free Delivery. County Routes are usually numbered by the county that maintains them. --SPUI (T - C) 12:10, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Battery
I came here to find out what the CR on a battery for a car key device meant. Such a link should point to Watch battery and the C apparently designates the battery as 3V, and the R designates the battery as round.
