Per [ [1]], acronyms should be spelled out on first use for the benefit of readers who may not be familiar with them. "MP" will mean something very different for readers outside of Commonwealth countries. American readers, for example, are more familiar with MP meaning "Militray Police". As far as linking goes, MP is a disambiguation page, which is not a useful link for the reader. What really should be linked here is Member of Parliament, which is an article that explains what a Member of Parliament is and does, rather than a list of the dozens of possible meanings of the acronym MP.

I guarantee that only a tiny proportion of the armed services or the UK population is aware of this day. I never had. Perhaps the article could make clear why Labour decided to have this day, as it's not immediately self-evident, particularly since we already have Remembrance Sunday. 84.65.203.33 23:31, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
I think the idea was to recognise those who served and survived, perhaps wounded or traumatised, as well as those who returned undamaged. Remembrance Day is for those who died. According to the Veteran's Agency, the second celebration in 2007 was a huge increase over the first in 2006. Kingsmead 11:06, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
Isnt Armed Forces day meant to replace veterans day rather than be two different events which is currently how it sounds from reading the article? BritishWatcher ( talk) 12:53, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
I think this article needs to be renamed to Armed Forces Day. According to this it is the same event as Veterans Day, but has been renamed. It's not a separate (coinciding) event. Regards Ranger Steve ( talk) 16:57, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
So why is it categorised as such? Patrick lovell ( talk) 18:18, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
Don't ask me why, but this years event seems to be on the 26th and not the 27th.... From the horse's mouth. I'm going to update the "On this day" sections accordingly. Not sure I get this to be honest, but I can't seem to find anything that says it will be a Sunday this year. Ranger Steve ( talk) 19:58, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
