Abbreviation of Cultural Revolution as CR
Is there a reason why Cultural Revolution is abbreviated as CR? It seems to have been a unilateral decision made by @Lfstevens in late 2023, and doesn't really make sense as it is (thankfully) not applied uniformly on all instances. If there isn't any opposition to it, I will revert all of them to Cultural Revolution or the Cultural Revolution. I think there is an argument to be made of keeping the long form of CRG "Cultural Revolution Group" as well. Artwhitemaster (talk) 09:02, 24 March 2024 (UTC)


 * These should be reverted. I agree with you. JArthur1984 (talk) 12:32, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm ok with switching them back, but I don't think it benefits the reader to do so. Shortcuts are a good thing. If inconsistency is the only critique, I'm happy to convert the rest of the references. Lfstevens (talk) 19:17, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I've seen a bit of attestation of the initialism in sources—which makes sense, because it's a proper name that is both pretty long and will be stated over and over. I would be okay with establishing its use in sources, and using it a bit. Going to be awkward either way, though. Remsense  诉  19:21, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
