Facebook vs facebook.com

edit

@Acagastya: I have to disagree with your choice of "facebook.com" rather than the more widely-used "Facebook". Both the Al-Jazeera (2018) and BBC source articles use "Facebook", and using Facebook redirects to the WN category whereas "facebook.com" redirects to the WP article. I think it should be changed back to Facebook. Green Giant (talk) 15:08, 24 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Typing "facebook" in the address bar is not going to take you to the website, so anyone who knows facebook knows facebook.com -- for the link, we can create a redirect.

On the other hand, in my experience people know the service as "Facebook", not "facebook.com". --Pi zero (talk) 16:59, 24 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
Well I don’t know which browser you are using but when I type "Facebook" on the address bar of Safari, it offers the website. Perhaps it’s a feature of the browser. However, I agree with Pi zero. Green Giant (talk) 17:05, 24 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
That sounds like people know "United States" but not "United States of America". What happened to the author gets to choose the style? Nobody complained when I use "Yahoo!" or "Amazon.com" which has been a standard practice.

Well I could understand if the sources used your style but I don’t see a particular reason to use it except that you prefer it that way. However, I don’t think this is something that should need much discussion really. Green Giant (talk) 21:07, 24 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
