Incomplete[edit]

I flagged this page as incomplete because the 'functionality' section isn't as good as it could be Paskari 16:34, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have altered the functionality section to make it slightly more informative than its previous setup. Illuvator (talk) 15:34, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have now taken off the functionality flag, if others could corroborate this decision that would be good. Illuvator (talk) 20:56, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Content[edit]

I added in the subtypes section. There is so much new research on the characteristics of all different subtypes of amacrine cells and the specific ways in which they contribute to the functioning of the retina that I felt an entire section needed to be outlined to detail these. Kabennett (talk) 15:23, 14, November 2014

I edited the introduction, deleting some of the sentences with statistics because I couldn't find citations for these, and made it more simple and concise, and easier to understand. Kabennett (talk) 15:23, 14, November 2014

I have altered and added to the functionality section and also added citations and gotten rid of things that are excessive or repetitive due to what I have already added. I tried to make the function list straight forward and not list every single specific function. Kabennett (talk) 15:23, 14, November 2014

I edited the overview section to make it a more general and easily understandable summary of what is to come for the rest of the article and give a quick explanation of these types of cells. I also added citations. Kabennett (talk) 15:23, 14, November 2014 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.43.222.8 (talk) 18:37, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Retina > Retinal ?[edit]

Should not the title be "Retinal amacrine cell"?
Bn (talk) 20:34, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done in fact because there is no page called Amacrine cell I've just moved it there instead. No need to disambiguate to "Retinal" unless necessary. Thanks for pointing this out, Bn. --Tom (LT) (talk) 22:09, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Meaning of "in"[edit]

Does "-ine" in the word "amacrine" really mean "fiber"? Isn't it just a Latin suffix used in various scientific terminology? Kanarya29 (talk) 17:23, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
