Countries
editWould it be useful to have a complete list of all countries/territories that use the .org.xx system for [non-profit] organizations? I'm sure that there are more countries that do so, not just UK, China, Mexico, and NZ. --seav 12:10, Aug 6, 2003 (UTC)
- You can add Thailand and Japan for sure, only that it is .or.th and .or.jp respectively. andy 12:12, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Unfortunately used for porn as well
editWhy unfortunately? Is porn too unpure to .org? :P -- EduardoPadoan
Pronunciation
editThe article mentions "an .org domain" at one point. If one pronounces ".org" as "org" then this is correct. But, if one pronounces the TLD as "dot org", then the phrase should be "a .org domain" instead. I don't know what the most common way of pronouncing it would be. Perhaps the sentence should be rephrased to avoid the issue. CapnPhantasm (talk) 00:45, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Clarify Mitre
editThe history section mentions "Mitre Corporation" which is misleading for those that don't know or didn't lookup that it is a not-for-profit corporation. Suggest Mitre (not-for-profit) Corporation.71.230.16.111 (talk) 18:54, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
