Countries
Would 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)

Why unfortunately? Is porn too unpure to .org? :P -- EduardoPadoan

 * Per the domain was certainly defined a few months before 1985, so it remains to be defined what the term established exactly means. I suppose that it means installed in the DNS, which is reasonable and probably documented, in addition to be the date listed in WHOIS queries. kbrose (talk) 17:33, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The .us page says 'Introduced February 15, 1985', all other domain pages mentioned say 'Introduced  January 1, 1985'. 240B:252:381:6800:6486:23FF:FEA7:7CE3 (talk) 03:12, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Pronunciation
The 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)
