Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pharmacology/General/Naming of drug pages

Contrary to Wikipedia:Naming conventions

Before you go any further with moving pages around, I urge that you give this issue a much more visible venue for discussion. Your suggested naming style is in pretty direct conflict with Wikipedia policy. Please see Wikipedia:Naming conventions, where there are specific conventions under consideration, including one for Chemistry (Wikipedia:Naming conventions (chemistry)) where there is some discussion about IUPAC name vs. common name. -Rholton 04:35, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Thank you for your input, Rholton. I've looked at your links and I disagree that our policy contradicts any other policy. But I'll give it a break for now. You all can duke it out, I'm going on vacation. Matt 05:27, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I agree with Rholton, this WikiProjects naming conventions are way out of line with broader wikipedia practice. Fawcett5 22:49, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

RFC?

Does this page still need to be listed at RFC? Maurreen 07:03, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Suggestions

"If there are very many names for the drug, a box should be made near the top (e.g. carbachol)."

I disagree with this; the article is quite messy and doesn't conform to any of the other standards for a drug page. I've removed the table from the carbachol article, and will work on cleaning it up when I get a chance. Fuzzform 04:58, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
