Regarding MS NOW
Hi Nathan Obral, I wanted to follow up regarding the edit you made in the MS NOW article. I understand your point about WP:COMMONNAME, MS NOW is indeed the network’s current official/commonly used name.
However, per MOS:1STOCC, it recommends "introduce it using the full expression, and the abbreviation in parentheses", even if the acronym itself is the brand. In this case, reliable sources verify that MS NOW is a backronym for “My Source for News, Opinion, and the World.”
For consistency with other Wikipedia articles about networks and organizations such as CNBC, NASA, CNN, NBC, CBS, etc. the full expansion is included alongside the acronym in the lead.
The change you made does not appear necessary, as the previous revision effectively satisfies both MOS:1STOCC and WP:COMMONNAME while maintaining clarity for readers. Samueldester1234 (talk) 15:51, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
- That would only be appropriate if the channel name actually was "My Source for News, Opinion and the World" (see CNBC, which actually is the "Consumer News and Business Channel" and was literally named that from day one), but it is not. It is a forced marketing slogan that multiple reliable sources have agreed on was only concocted to explain the name change. Since when do we introduce ledes with a marketing slogan and not the actual common name? Nathan Obral • he/him/🦝 • t • c • 17:04, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
- Well, I would argue its not considered a forced marketing slogan, while it might appear so to justify the “MS NOW” name. In my opinion, I think the previous revision still satisfies it because whether you agree or not, My Source for News, Opinion, and the World is still considered a acronym, so much so that multiple news articles refers/acknowledge it as the network’s acronym.
