The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
All senses. Some uses, if citeable, may be more suitable under A&A or A & A. This, that and the other (talk) 02:43, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- A quick Google search turned this up for the second sense:
- 1982 April, B. C. Burdett, “The Colour Index: The Past, Present and Future of Colorant Classification”, in Journal of the Society of Dyers and Colourists, volume 98, number 4, , →ISSN, page 118:
- To keep the second edition up-to-date, ‘Additions and Amendments’ were issued each quarter. The first ‘A & A’s’ were published in October 1958.
- 2011, M. Clark, “Fundamental Principles of Dyeing”, in M. Clark, editor, Handbook of Textile and Industrial Dyeing, volumes 1, Principles, Processes and Types of Dyes, Cambridge: Woodhead Publishing, →ISBN, page 10:
- To keep the second edition of the Colour Index up to date, ‘Additions and Amendments’ were published in 1958 and continued publication of the ‘A & A’s in January, April, July and October; eventually a supplementary volume was issued which increased the number of generic names to 5481 and commercial names to 32 256 entries.

- For our purposes that sense should be at A & A. But I have to wonder whether we should include such an incredibly narrow jargon term - one that relates to an individual periodical circulating within the British dyeing industry. This, that and the other (talk) 13:53, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
- And that's probably fair, provided we don't turn up any other contexts in which it's used. Graham11 (talk) 00:01, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
