{{old move|date=29 October 2023|destination=Ai (disambiguation)|result=not moved|link=Special:Permalink/1183561491#Requested move 29 October 2023}}

== Moved from [[User_talk:docu]] ==

Is there a good reason why you (near enough) reverted my previous edit?  I've consulted [[Wikipedia:Abbr]], but the problem here is that ''some'' of the meanings are real abbreviations, whilst others are words in themselves.  On the guidelines page, it recommends
:''If there is an article that is named that way (e.g. SI, Ur, pH), the page should be used for the article at one of these pages, rather than the page with the abbreviations. ''
In this case, I don't think that is appropriate, as none of the articles for where ai is a word are particularly prominent, and therefore a disambig page would be needed anyway.  I think the original split is appropriate, but would like to hear your reasoning.  If I don't get a response in a day or two I will revert it, and move this comment to it's discussion page. [[User:HappyDog|HappyDog]] 02:00, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)

:[[Ai]] -- On your previous version, I'd add the Anguilla and the movie to the abbr. part as well. Personally, I prefer to alphabetize the remaining (the word) into the list rather than split it off, but your solution is quite straightforward as well. BTW If I knew where to add it, I'd move the Norse mythology to an article, it's somewhat lost on that page. -- User:Docu

:: OK - I've done as you suggested.  I think there isn't an inherent problem in having them as one list, although the list heading would need altering so that it doesn't refer to them all as abbreviations.  I think the split list is clearer though.  I added the TLD, but it made no sense to say A.I. stands for A.I. so added it as a separate line at the bottom of the abbreviation section.

== Removals and reasons ==

''this does not include partial removals''
*  In Japan it is often used as a female given name, or as part of one.
** this was removed as there is no ''specific'' article to link to; should be included in one of the Wiktionary entries; should also appear in given name list(s) ... I am not verifying or seeking out to add to either of these other places
* Ai, a chimpanzee who has participated in experiments in animal cognition at Kyoto University
** again, no article target; if the chimpanzee were mentioned in the animal cognition, Kyoto University, or chimpanzee articles, I would have left this in, but there are no such mentions
* <s>[[Love]] in Japanese and several Chinese dialects (including Mandarin)</s>
** <s>this would be representation of a foreign word, which is handled through other means</s>

[[User:Ceyockey|Courtland]] 00:50, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

* the sense of "universal love" was added back with [[Love]] as the referenced article [[User:Ceyockey|Courtland]] 03:01, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

== game ai ==

My wording of Game AI is a little off, I'm going to bed, but hopefully you guys can fix it.
*Also, i think [[game_ai]] is a valid entry in here. I immediately think of it, instead of "real" ai. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Steamrunner|Steamrunner]] ([[User talk:Steamrunner|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Steamrunner|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

== Ai & AI disambiguation ==

This article is now many pages long, and lagging on supplying the 'quick and easy' navigation assistance set forth in [[WP:MOSDP]].  I think that [[Ai (disambiguation)]] and [[AI (disambiguation)]] should be separate.  I have no position on whether [[Ai]] continue to be a disambiguation page versus an article.  Thoughts? [[User:ENeville|ENeville]] 20:50, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
:One thought is that the dab page should be at AI, not Ai - almost every other 2LA dab page uses both capitals. [[User:Grutness|Grutness]]...''[[User_talk:Grutness|<small style="color:#008822;">wha?</small>]]'' 12:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

== We Gotta Talk ==

IMO it would be a mistake to make substantive changes to the accompanying Dab without  some brainstorming first. I'm about to start, in a separate edit w/in this section. <br>--[[User:Jerzy|Jerzy]]•[[User talk:Jerzy|t]] 17:03, 3 April 2008 (UTC)<br>

=== Split by Words from Abbreviations and Initialisms? ===
''(I started this as "Split by Casing?", but realized my error as i wrote.)''<br>
_ _ I consider to be a failure the concept of lumping the words and abbreviations together on one page, and  subdividing by subject. It does not serve users' needs.<br>
_ _ There is a general guideline at [[WP:MoSDab#Introductory line|MoSDab#Introductory line]] reading #: {{divbox|red|(My repunctuation and reformatting)|
:It is not necessary to repeat all the possible variations of capitalization or punctuation: 
:: '''AU''' may refer to:
: is preferable over 
:: '''AU''', '''au''', '''Au''' or '''A-U''' may refer to:}}
_ _ This suggests, but need not imply, that 
: variations of capitalization or punctuation of the same alphanumerics should be covered on the same Dab page.
In any case, [[WP:MoSDab#Break rules|MoSDab#Break rules]] can apply here. And i expect most users to have a pretty good idea from the context, whether they are looking for a word/name or an abbreviation/initialism. <br>
_ _ Thus my suggestion is two Dab pages: <br>
[[Ai]], covering everything written either ''Ai'' or ''ai'':
{{divbox|green||
:''This page disambiguates words, including one-word proper names; for text not usually pronounced as one syllable, see [[AI]].'' 
'''Ai''' may be:
: ...}}
[[AI]], covering everything written otherwise, including ''AI'', ''aI'', and any punctuation that implies a non-word, plus any cases of Ai or ai that are not words:
{{divbox|green||
: ''This disambiguates initialisms and other abbreviations; for text where ''A'' and/or ''I'' simply ''spell'' something, see [[Ai]].''
'''AI''' is [[artificial intelligence]].<br>
&nbsp; <br>
'''AI''', '''A.I.''', etc. may also be:
: ...}}<br>

BTW, i fully intend that the two pages overlap, even beyond "plus any cases of Ai or ai that are not words"; on the tip of my tongue is ".ai", which should be 
# explicitly in the "See also" section of [[Ai]], 
# probably also in an entry 
#:: ai, re-abbreviation of [[.ai]]
#: on that page, and 
# at least once on [[AI]].
--[[User:Jerzy|Jerzy]]•[[User talk:Jerzy|t]] 21:56, 3 April 2008 (UTC)<br>

=== Names of Persons ===
_ _ IMO, it is important to distinguish the uses of Dab pages in five situations of human names:
# people whose names don't include separate and clearly assignable and recognizable given and sur-names ([[Hirihito]], [[Saddam Hussein|Saddam]], [[Gaius Julius Caesar|Caesar]])
# people widely known, and usually referred to by surname alone ([[Shakespeare]], [[Immanuel Kant|Kant]], [[Einstein]], [[Hitler]]), in some cases to the extent that their given names are unknown to many who know their significance ([[Arthur Rimbaud|Rimbaud]], [[Goethe]], [[Hegel]], [[Hideki Tojo|Tojo]])
# people widely known, and usually referred to by given name alone ([[Elvis]], [[Oprah]]), in some cases to the extent that their given names (nicknames, or names by birth) are unknown to many who know their significance ([[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]], [[Pelé]], [[Prince (musician)|Prince]])
# people distinguished within their respective fields to the extent that they are commonly referred to and recognizable, in the context of those respective fields, by a single given or sur-name.
# notable people identifiable by a single name only when at least their given and sur-names have already been mentioned, throughout or recently, in the same work.
_ _ I think it is abundantly clear from [[WP:MoSDab|MoSDab]]/[[WP:Dab|Dab]] that Dabs ''must'' support cases 1-3. <br>
_ _ IMO, it is desirable for Dabs to support case 4, '''not''' as part of the purpose of Dabs, but as a low-cost fringe benefit to users who prefer recognizing the given name within the Dab, over the effort of remembering, spelling, and/or typing the given name; IMO it must be done in a way that does not significantly impair cases 1-3. <br>
_ _ There are editors who give significant effort to compiling lists of people (mostly notable ones) who share the same or related given names. IMO such lists are unencyclopedic (and harmful not just as clutter, but in encouraging other kinds of contributions motivated by forms of vanity, by catering to vanity of either of these two sorts:
: There's an article on my [given] name!
: Aha, my [whole] name is still camouflaged from deletion by all the other ''Algernon'' given names on the list! 
But i have too little energy, and too little confidence in the feasibility of deleting those lists, to try to do much about them. I mention them here at all because of the many names beginning "Ai", which are mostly Japanese, and subject to the ambiguity of whether the first name mentioned is given or surname. I'd like to explore whether it suffices to move all the multi-word-name-of-person Ai entries into a (late!) section --  or better yet a page or two (one given names, one surnames) that can be linked (early, if any of them are surnames) from the Dab page. <br>--[[User:Jerzy|Jerzy]]•[[User talk:Jerzy|t]] 21:56, 3 April 2008 (UTC)<br>

=== Three-Way Breakdown of Existing Entries ===
See the next three sections for the source of these numbers.<br>
(There is some intentional overlap between these counts)
# 16 word entries 
# 39 human name entries
# 48 abbr/init entries
IMO, these numbers support the utility i was anticipating for the division between words and abbreviations, and then separating common nouns and place names from human names. <br>--[[User:Jerzy|Jerzy]]•[[User talk:Jerzy|t]] 21:56, 3 April 2008 (UTC)<br>

From a usability point of view, I'd prefer grouping by categories. Most of the time you're looking something up you have a general idea of what you're looking for (is it a person? a technology? etc.) so breaking it down per category or kind would facility fastest lookup, I think.

== To the Guardians of Wikipedia (whoever they may be) ==

Okay, I get it:  Some high school in Delaware, [[Alexis I. duPont High School]] (whose initials should be AID anyway, it seems to me) – ''that'' qualifies as being listed in 'Ai (disambiguation)'; but [[Appraisal Institute|the Appraisal Institute]] (to which I belong), the leading American organization in the field of real estate appraisal – which shows on their website that they have copyrighted "AI" (see ''http://www.appraisalinstitute.org/'' ) – ''they'' do not.  The second time I added the organization, I pointed that out; and someone still took them out of the list.  What is the deal anyway?  It is bad enough that I have to fight for 'notability' on albums and rock bands and artists that I have written entire articles on; but now, we have to keep the disambiguation lists short?  When I first started writing in Wikipedia, it was a lot of fun; and I really felt like I was contributing.  I am no big deal, but I am closing in on 3,000 edits and have written over 100 original articles.  Now almost every time I put something in, somebody reverts it immediately – and just to rub it in, I get a message saying that this has happened.

:::&nbsp;&nbsp; Said resolution is recorded at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disambiguation/Archive 35#To the Guardians of Wikipedia (whoever they may be)|a section on an archive]]. Perhaps it's not worth noting every instance of cluelessness in a talk complaint, but I'm noting one of the ''non''-reasons for the resolution of this complaint: SB cites the copyright on the Web page, as if it could  conceivably bear on the question. No one can copyright "AI", and all SB should have inferred from the page is that copyright was claimed on the literary work that the page embodies, and therefore various ''extensive'' quotes from the page might (or not) infringe on rights of the org'n. Many individuals or orgs may have registered [[trademark]]s or [[service mark]]s, of the form "AI", which grant ''each'' of them with a theoretically exclusive right to use the name, for promotional purposes, ''when it refers to something in the respective category'' of product or service that their TM states ''their'' mark applies to. (My  WAG is BTW that the presumption that the range covered doesn't overlap the range of an earlier mark with the same text is weak at best, and that all the copyright office does is either to document your request, or search superficially, so that you have to ''sue'' the infringer to enforce your TM/SM. So holding, or claiming, a mark is not very relevant to any desire to have us acknowledge it.)<br><!--
 -->&nbsp;&nbsp; Having said that much, the criterion for having an entry on a particular Dab page is not whether an entity has some (exclusive or non-exclusive) legal right to the term, but whether the term is likely to be used by some of those seeking info, on a topic that has been written about, and is sufficiently notable to have survived deletion.

* '''Oppose''' per all above.  Disambiguation is needed for the non-acronym.  [[User:Dicklyon|Dicklyon]] ([[User talk:Dicklyon|talk]]) 21:28, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' [[WP:SMALLDETAILS]] "ai" and "Ai" and "AI" are different terms -- [[Special:Contributions/65.92.247.90|65.92.247.90]] ([[User talk:65.92.247.90|talk]]) 21:54, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' Per [[WP:SMALLDETAILS]] combined with the fact that people may be legitimately searching for the name "Ai". [[User:Zxcvbnm|ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ]] ([[User talk:Zxcvbnm|ᴛ]]) 10:08, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
*'''Move''' The page serves to disambiguate different forms/combinations of ''A'' and ''I'' in that order: {{tq|AI is artificial intelligence, intellectual ability in machines and robots. Ai, AI or A.I. may also refer to ...}} It is also the target for ''[[AI (disambiguation)]]'' used as a hat note from the [[Artificial intelligence]] article.  ''[[Artificial intelligence]]'' is fairly clearly the primary target for ''AI'', however capitalised (including stops or spaces). By default, the disambiguation page is also the target for ''ai''. [[WP:DABNAME]] states: {{tq|The title of a disambiguation page is the ambiguous term itself, provided there is no primary topic for that term. If there is a primary topic, then the tag "(disambiguation)" is added ...}} [[WP:SMALLDETAILS]] is a shortcut to [[Wikipedia:Article titles#When a spelling variant indicates a distinct topic]]. ''Ai'' is inherently not a distinct topic. Consequently, on considering the applicable guidance it is appropriate to add the disambiguation tag as proposed. I can also see a case exists for targeting the various permutations of ''ai'' (in that order) to the [[Artificial intelligence]] article; though that is a separate question, I see it is already raised above.
