Technical standards

As a replacement for 2. "Something used as a measure for comparative evaluations." I offer:

Standard (technical) a codified and quantified agreement created by an authority, committee or market.

Ken Krechmer

Newspaper name

I'm not sure how to include this, but it's also a conventional title for newspapers, e.g. the Evening Standard or Daily Standard. Equinox ◑ 23:55, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Hmm... aside from things like herald, observer, and reporter (all plausibly using the existing "one who heralds / observes / reports" senses) and tribune and e.g. Republican (again plausibly using the usual senses), others include times, post (Cleveland, New York, Washington,...) and globe, as well as things like eagle and phoenix. Unless these can be used generically, like "I'll post a notice in the standard" / "in the times" / "in the phoenix", is this necessarily something to cover at all...? - -sche (discuss) 17:08, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

We have a usage note at chronicle. Equinox ◑ 23:23, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

I’m also not convinced this is worth adding as a sense. It’s just the use of an ordinary word as part of a name. — SGconlaw (talk) 02:11, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

What sense is it? The flag or ensign? But there's no newspaper called The Daily Flag. Equinox ◑ 02:13, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

I suspect it's the ensign. — SGconlaw (talk) 04:13, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
