Talk:M.A.

Why does this redirect to MA? "M.A." should be a redirect to Master's degree: it's not ambiguous and doesn't need disambiguation. -- Someone else 08:10, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Even if there usually is a difference, or at least a nuance or a typo between:

1. ma
2. MA
3. Ma
4. M.A.
5. M. A.
6. M. A
7. mA
8. MA.
9. mA.

it's not necessarily supported by the software nor are many aware of the different usages. Thus I prefer to redirect them to a disambiguation page and note the spelling variatons there (see e.g. MB ). In a few cases, it may be more appropriate:

• to place the article there (e.g. SI with the article on the Système International, pH), or
• to redirect the abbreviation to an article (e.g. TB redirecting to Tuberculosis),

and place a link to the disambiguation page there.

(Note: this is just about 2-letter combinations).

In the meantime, I have changed my mind on MA and M.A. and would rather have them redirect to Master's degree. Similar solutions should be found for B.A., M.D., and possibly a few others. -- User:Docu

(Note TB no longer redirects to Tuberculosis now) -- User:Docu
