Radio frequency quadrupole → Radio-frequency quadropole –

As in refs and article. Per WP:MOSCAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE, this is a generic, common term, not a propriety or commercial term, so the article title should be downcased. In addition, WP:MOSCAPS says that a compound item should not be upper-cased just because it is abbreviated with caps. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles.

Could someone please delete the typoed name I mistakenly created? Tony  (talk)  02:08, 1 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Support This is indeed hyphenated in sources. --Enric Naval (talk) 15:57, 3 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose – Tony's rationale is mixed up or out of sync, since he already fixed the case, and the spelling "quadrople" is worse than non-standard. Why not just move it to add the hyphen and be done with it?  Dicklyon (talk) 22:35, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment – I think the nom and the opposer and the supporter all agree that it should move to Radio-frequency quadrupole. An early close wouldn't hurt.  Dicklyon (talk) 19:30, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Mass spectrometry
This device is used in mass spectrometry, correct? That is not clear from the article as currently written: it currently says this device is NOT used in one kind of mass spectrometry. LilacRabite (talk) 20:15, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
