I think we're working at cross purposes here -- the TLA project seems at odds with having some of the TLAs marked as candidates for move to Wiktionary. ;Bear 21:46, 2004 Nov 17 (UTC)

I need a little help here- I came here about PDQ because I work in a supermarket and in the back room a lot of the shipping cartons have " PDQ " in white on a stop-sign shaped symbol. But none of these descriptions really seem to make sense for this. No one working in the back room could tell me either. 74.69.245.119 01:32, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Attribution to Woolfe play[edit]

The attribution of "PDQ" to an 1875 play by Benjamin Woolfe was uncited and failed to appear anywhere in a Google search except the same Wikipedia page where it had been inserted. Thus it was deleted. Please provide an appropriate citation of it as the original source of the meaning of the aconym before restoring the assertion to the main article. Thank you.Wikiuser100 (talk) 14:15, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

pretty damned (or darn) quick(ly)[edit]

The purpose of disambiguation pages are to help readers find an article about a subject where several subjects have the same or similar names. They are not for dictionary definitions. (see WP:DABNOT). Anything added to a disambiguation page should link to an article, and should not include citations as was done here.- Mr X 14:36, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, but the user is insistent upon adding the text. Powers ^T 18:38, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
