Hi Howard, I was just going to do this myself, but then I thought I should check in with you first. Unless I'm much mistaken, "Mg" so capitalized always suggests only one thing: magnesium. The element is rarely (and never ''correctly'') abbreviated "MG" any more than sulfur is abbreviated SU. The "MG" in MG cars is always two capitals. Also, "MG" immediately suggests MG cars, at least to my mind. | |||
So here's how I think it should go: Mg redirects to Magnesium. MG has a pointer first and foremost to MG cars, and then also major generals, with a link to Magnesium and a note that it's capitalized Mg. | |||
Hope this isn't too confusing...I'm ill today, I'm afraid... --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 13:45, 22 September 2008 (CDT) | |||

Mg, MG etc.
Hi Howard, I was just going to do this myself, but then I thought I should check in with you first. Unless I'm much mistaken, "Mg" so capitalized always suggests only one thing: magnesium. The element is rarely (and never correctly) abbreviated "MG" any more than sulfur is abbreviated SU. The "MG" in MG cars is always two capitals. Also, "MG" immediately suggests MG cars, at least to my mind.
So here's how I think it should go: Mg redirects to Magnesium. MG has a pointer first and foremost to MG cars, and then also major generals, with a link to Magnesium and a note that it's capitalized Mg.
