Talk:OPRK1

Hi all :) We have a "link loop" here where "OPRK1" redirects to "kappa Opioid receptor" links to "OPRK1". I believe this type of reference should possibly be recommended against by Wikipedia. "OPRK1" is a name for a DNA sequence thought to generate the "kappa Opioid receptor" protein. They are definitely not the same thing. The OPRK1 DNA sequence, is not the same CONCEPT as the "kappa Opioid receptor" Protein, instead one is the plan for the other. To my mind each article should cover a distinct CONCEPT, and the word or Concept CONCEPT should be the top op the tree of all Concepts defined within Wikipedia. Generally different example Concepts are all example Concepts of the same parent Concept. In IT "Object modeling" this is called an "Is-A" relationship. These link any example Concept to i'ts generalization (or "is-a" Concept tree Parent node), e.g. A Dog IS-A Animal, a Cat IS-A Animal, a Mouse IS_A Animal, etc. If our definition of the Concept of Animal includes Birds then we can also say a Chicken IS-A Animal, and if it includes Insects and Fish we can say "a Butterfly IS-A Animal" and also "a Shark IS-A Animal". BTW this might mean we can only get an accurate definition of a Concept by listing all it's example Concepts, but this is questionable.
