Planning to add an endnote to note the style difference between UC and CSU on definite articles

edit

To give everyone a heads up: Later this year, I'm planning to add an endnote to the articles on the University of California and the California State University, using the efn tag, and with appropriate citations to both universities' brand guidelines, to note the style difference on the issue of whether definite articles are mandatory with the initialisms UC and CSU. For example, the official University of California web site consistently refers to "UC" with no definite article, while the official California State University web site consistently refers to "the CSU" with a definite article. Then I will edit both articles to follow those conventions. Any objections? Coolcaesar (talk) 06:59, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Why do we need to tell readers about this at all? It seems trivial. ElKevbo (talk) 14:05, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Because otherwise, people will think it's a grammar error to have a definite article with one but not the other, since they are both university systems. Then we will have edit wars.
For years, I have been using UC and CSU without a definite article in both WP articles when those terms are used as standalone nouns, because that's how they're used in literature on the history of American higher education (much of which is written by UC graduates). But the more I think about it, we should defer to each system's preferred usage. Even if it is silly and pompous of CSU to insist on the definite article. --Coolcaesar (talk) 17:03, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
