I've moved the references to FIDO to their own page. Fido is a name; FIDO is an acronym. Xyl 54 ( talk) 18:06, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone have a good source for this etymology? It's given here as deriving from fidelis, but I've seen suggestions that it comes from the verb fido, "I trust, I put faith in", or, seemingly more likely, from the adjective fidus, "faithful, trusty", which Wiktionary gives as the root of Italian and Spanish fido with the same meaning. -- Kineticman ( talk) 04:53, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Although at this moment there is no article Fido (dog name), there is now a new article called Fido (dog), which is about a famous dog. Unfortunately, until there is such an article, it really should be here because this page is not an article, it's a navigation page, and so every entry should have an artile. I'm not going to delete it right away, first I'm going to add Fido (dog) and see how things look. Please comment. Chrisrus ( talk) 05:57, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
Even though this is the probable primary referent searched for by a user, I have removed Fido (dog name) on the grounds that no article about it exists. This is a navigation page, not an article, and should be only a list of articles with the same name or very similar names. I decided to put Fido (dog) as the primary, and we could add more information there about the common dog name, but there is some there about it already, so it's pretty close. I hope that works for you/the users. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisrus ( talk • contribs) 06:42, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
I suggest that this page be merged with FIDO (disambiguation) on the grounds that it'd be more helpful to "F-i-d-o" searchers. Chrisrus ( talk) 06:42, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
I agree with the old merge discussion above, which has been done and I've cleaned up. I removed a duplicate link on an article, so there may be others. Widefox; talk 12:30, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
