Talk:DCA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Unless you live in the DC area, which I assume SNIyer12 does, DCA isn't so obviously referring to the airport. Besides, s/he created a separate disambiguation page without even having the courtesy of providing a link to it from the airport page. I see this person has a history of moving/changing things without discussion. This is all bad Wikipedia etiquette. I've reverted the page to a disambiguation.

In agreement with the first above sentiment, I've changed the redirect to the disambiguation page. I think this is clearly the right course to go down since the creation of the Department of Constitutional Affairs in the UK government, which is vastly more like to be referred to as DCA than an airport that has no 'DC' in it's name or acronym.

Dichloroacetate anti-cancer drug

[edit]

I removed the addition of dichloroacetate because it is already redirected to dichloroacetic acid, but added the alternative name up there. I did not like including that it is an anti-cancer compound because by default it will induce people to think that it cures human cancer. There is an appropriate explanation about the current status of research of the therapeutic properties of this compound in the dichloroacetic acid entry.
