Words beginning with D suitable for teaching children the alphabet? Seriously?2toise 03:32, 20 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Sure, 2toise, and I'm glad you brought the subject up. Since letters are the building blocks of words, and children's first traditional entry to learning language, I think it is a creative and useful entry to Wikipedia's articles on the alphabet. And I would welcome your ideas for entries relating to the rest of the alphabet. Paul Klenk 03:37, 20 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Um, children's first traditional entry to learning language is listening to their parents talk, not letters of the alphabet. Nohat

Delta-number combinations

Anyone know of something to do when making dis-ambiguation pages involving a Delta-number combination?? (See User:Georgia guy/Letter number combinations for the definition.)

I've been checking D6 and I can't find any other uses of D6 when studying Special:Allpages. I've been using D6 and D-6. Any way to find uses of D6 other than that?? Not all articles the dis-ambiguation pages of this kind link to can be found this way (e.g. Channel 4 is in C4 but it cannot be found by studying Special:Allpages/C4.)

D digraphs

Aren't dge and dj digraphs as they represent one sound?Cameron Nedland 23:15, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Egyptian D

That symbol isn't actually an Egyptian D. An Egyptian D is a hand. 97.127.34.184 (talk) 21:03, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay but what's your source for that? Theonethatknowsyouripaddress (talk) 12:56, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Unit of time

A lower case d is used for the unit of time called "day", defined as 86,400 SI seconds. ...

D and d have plenty of other symbolic uses. Why not leave them all to D (disambiguation)? —Tamfang (talk) 00:57, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

mumbo-jumbo

“ In a recent book published at TheBookEdition, L'alphabet latin, Thierry de Mortain explains that the half-moon shaped letter D was representing the moon, and hence the star of the fecundity for the Romans. ”

This sentence was out of place, at best. —Tamfang (talk) 22:27, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Why "O"?

Um the illustration purporting to show a cursive "D", etc. shows two "O's" Why is that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.249 (talk) 23:18, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

change "D is the grade below C but above E" to "D is the grade below C but above F" NOT identical to the alphabet 2600:6C44:237F:ACCB:A97C:D987:610E:E616 (talk) 23:15, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Depends on which grading system is being used... RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 00:10, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

There is more than just the letter D on this page

I think thats a bit confusing 2604:3D09:E071:4E00:FD22:338C:427A:4B70 (talk) 06:15, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

I don't think so. Krishnpriya123 (talk) 16:08, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

Typo :C

under the English header, there is no space between the 'D d' and 'is'. Potaterman (talk) 05:14, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

 Done. Thank you. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 12:57, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Edit request: mentioning the inappropriate internet use of the letter D

The internet commonly uses D to talk about a penis. My edit request is for the site to mention this inappropriate use. Sorry for any "inappropriate language" rules broken in this post, as I could not think of another way to communicate this request.

Oppose per WP:TRIVIA and unencyclopedic. There are a thousand and one euphemisms for genitalia. It just becomes background noise. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 20:48, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

I don't understand. Erikgobrrrr (talk) 21:53, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

So should the eggplant article include the same passing trivia (🍆) too? How many more articles are to be clogged with Junior High-school sniggers?

What makes this factoid of any lasting significance? Compare internet censorship in China, where people have repurposed lots of things as a kind of samizat, so as to get past the censors on WeChat to criticise political decisions. Against that context, it is difficult to give any serious consideration to your proposal. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 22:54, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

This would belong at Dick (slang), not D. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 03:53, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. Good solution. Thank you. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 10:19, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
