== IP = Internet Protocol? ==

My understanding is that someone searching for "IP" would almost certainly be looking for Internet Protocol. Would anyone object if I listed this at the top of the page? [[User:Sam Staton|Sam Staton]] ([[User talk:Sam Staton|talk]]) 19:01, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

:Done this. I'm still happy to discuss, though, if anyone objects. NB this is the ''only'' meaning listed by the OED and by most sources on dictionary.com. [[User:Sam Staton|Sam Staton]] ([[User talk:Sam Staton|talk]]) 15:38, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

:: Considering that this is an online encyclopedia, that's a pretty reasonable guess. It's what lead me here. - [[User:Alltat|Alltat]] ([[User talk:Alltat|talk]]) 04:23, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

== IP is space? ==

In Star Trek The Motion Picture (which feature a lot of technobabble) there is a quote:
Captain, assuming we have full warp capability, accelerating to warp seven outside the solar system will bring us to IP with the intruder in 20.1 hours.

What this IP stands for? <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/212.33.234.84|212.33.234.84]] ([[User talk:212.33.234.84|talk]]) 19:48, 30 June 2008 (UTC)</small>

My guess is that the IP in Star Trek referred to the "intersection point", the point where the Enterprise's trajectory would intersect the intruder's trajectory.

[[:IP]] → {{noredirect|1=IP (disambiguation)}} — Proposal is to redirect [[IP]] to [[Internet Protocol]], as the most likely target topic for the term, per [[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC]]. Of course a [[WP:HATNOTE|hatnote]] would be placed in order to direct users to the disambiguation page if they are seeking another usage.

*'''Oppose'''; no evidence that would be the primary topic, particularly as I first think of "intellectual property" when I hear IP. [[User:Knepflerle|Knepflerle]] ([[User talk:Knepflerle|talk]]) 19:23, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

*'''Oppose'''. [[Internet protocol]], [[IP address]] and [[intellectual property]] all come to mind for me. For a non-habitual internet user, intellectual property is probably more relevant. For people conversant in computing topics, you still have the question of whether the protocol or the address is more important ([[WP:PT|in terms of Wikipedia]]—obviously the address depends on the protocol). Best to use a disambiguation page here. [[User:TheFeds|<b style="font-family:Constantia; font-size:medium; color:#0077bb;">''TheFeds''</b>]] 00:49, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

*'''Oppose''' as there is no clear Primary Topic; IP is an ambiguous term, and links to it must lead to a disambiguation page. [[User_talk:Josh Parris|Josh Parris]] 02:03, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

*'''Oppose''' Internet Protocol and IP address are both fairly likely targets. [[Special:Contributions/70.29.210.155|70.29.210.155]] ([[User talk:70.29.210.155|talk]]) 04:19, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

*'''Oppose'''. I think intellectual property has at least as much claim on being the primary topic. [[User:Dpmuk|Dpmuk]] ([[User talk:Dpmuk|talk]]) 15:38, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

== IP as in video games ==

Need to be added IP (video games) but i forgot what it stands for in video games. Example: "there were no new IP's from the company at this E3". It's a type of video game or something. [[User:Pubserv|Pubserv]] ([[User talk:Pubserv|talk]]) 18:31, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
:Not much context in that example, but sounds like it could be [[intellectual property]]. -- [[User:JHunterJ|JHunterJ]] ([[User talk:JHunterJ|talk]]) 11:22, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
::No, it's nothing to do with law. [[User:Pubserv|Pubserv]] ([[User talk:Pubserv|talk]]) 18:44, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
:::That what's it to do with? The expanded quote above still reads to me like "intellectual properties". The world of Halo, for example, is intellectual property. -- [[User:JHunterJ|JHunterJ]] ([[User talk:JHunterJ|talk]]) 19:19, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

== Imperial system of units ==

I noticed that IP was used as an abbreviation in the [[Ventilation (architecture)]] article, presumably as an abbreviation for the [[Imperial units|imperial system of units]], as it was alongside and to distinguish "SI" being used as the (correct) abbreviation for the [[International System of Units]]. After some searching it appears that "IP" is used by some in the ventilation industry in the meaning of "Inch-Pound units", which appears to basically be a variant of imperial units. Does anyone have anything to add, and does "Inch-Pound units" deserve an inclusion on the disambiguation page? My assertion is that it might not be notable.

== Should we add the [[Israeli-Palestinian conflict]] to this disambig page? ==

When I was exploring talk page discussions on pages related to the Arab-Israeli conflict, I noticed that editors here commonly refer to the Israel/Palestine conflict as the "I/P conflict", and the link to the conflict appears when you search for "I-P conflict" in Wikipedia and search engines. Therefore, given that a link from this page could provide easy access to material about the conflict for those who refer to the Israel/Palestine conflict as the "I/P conflict", would it make sense to add a link to the conflict page to this disambiguation page?

The reason why I am asking here rather than editing directly is because it is a link to a highly contentious topic area, and so want to make sure that it would be OK to add in a disambiguation page that is otherwise unrelated to the Arab-Israeli conflict.
