IP = Internet Protocol?

My understanding is that someone searching for "IP" would almost certainly be looking for Internet Protocol. Would anyone object if I listed this at the top of the page? Sam Staton (talk) 19:01, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Done this. I'm still happy to discuss, though, if anyone objects. NB this is the only meaning listed by the OED and by most sources on dictionary.com. Sam Staton (talk) 15:38, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Considering that this is an online encyclopedia, that's a pretty reasonable guess. It's what lead me here. - Alltat (talk) 04:23, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

IP is space?

In Star Trek The Motion Picture (which feature a lot of technobabble) there is a quote: Captain, assuming we have full warp capability, accelerating to warp seven outside the solar system will bring us to IP with the intruder in 20.1 hours.

What this IP stands for? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.33.234.84 (talk) 19:48, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

My guess is that the IP in Star Trek referred to the "intersection point", the point where the Enterprise's trajectory would intersect the intruder's trajectory. Srnelson (talk) 17:04, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

IP → IP (disambiguation) — Proposal is to redirect IP to Internet Protocol, as the most likely target topic for the term, per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Of course a hatnote would be placed in order to direct users to the disambiguation page if they are seeking another usage. Propaniac (talk) 16:18, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

• Oppose; no evidence that would be the primary topic, particularly as I first think of "intellectual property" when I hear IP. Knepflerle (talk) 19:23, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

• Oppose. Internet protocol, IP address and intellectual property all come to mind for me. For a non-habitual internet user, intellectual property is probably more relevant. For people conversant in computing topics, you still have the question of whether the protocol or the address is more important (in terms of Wikipedia—obviously the address depends on the protocol). Best to use a disambiguation page here. TheFeds 00:49, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

• Oppose as there is no clear Primary Topic; IP is an ambiguous term, and links to it must lead to a disambiguation page. Josh Parris 02:03, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

• Oppose Internet Protocol and IP address are both fairly likely targets. 70.29.210.155 (talk) 04:19, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

• Oppose. I think intellectual property has at least as much claim on being the primary topic. Dpmuk (talk) 15:38, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

IP as in video games

Need to be added IP (video games) but i forgot what it stands for in video games. Example: "there were no new IP's from the company at this E3". It's a type of video game or something. Pubserv (talk) 18:31, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Not much context in that example, but sounds like it could be intellectual property. -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:22, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

No, it's nothing to do with law. Pubserv (talk) 18:44, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

That what's it to do with? The expanded quote above still reads to me like "intellectual properties". The world of Halo, for example, is intellectual property. -- JHunterJ (talk) 19:19, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Imperial system of units

I noticed that IP was used as an abbreviation in the Ventilation (architecture) article, presumably as an abbreviation for the imperial system of units, as it was alongside and to distinguish "SI" being used as the (correct) abbreviation for the International System of Units. After some searching it appears that "IP" is used by some in the ventilation industry in the meaning of "Inch-Pound units", which appears to basically be a variant of imperial units. Does anyone have anything to add, and does "Inch-Pound units" deserve an inclusion on the disambiguation page? My assertion is that it might not be notable.

Should we add the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to this disambig page?

When I was exploring talk page discussions on pages related to the Arab-Israeli conflict, I noticed that editors here commonly refer to the Israel/Palestine conflict as the "I/P conflict", and the link to the conflict appears when you search for "I-P conflict" in Wikipedia and search engines. Therefore, given that a link from this page could provide easy access to material about the conflict for those who refer to the Israel/Palestine conflict as the "I/P conflict", would it make sense to add a link to the conflict page to this disambiguation page?

The reason why I am asking here rather than editing directly is because it is a link to a highly contentious topic area, and so want to make sure that it would be OK to add in a disambiguation page that is otherwise unrelated to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Hx7 21:53, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
