Suggested improvements for article
This article is a good start but could be improved in a number of ways: I hope these comments are useful. Alexbateman (talk) 11:21, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) This article would benefit from being split into sections.
 * 2) The article would benefit from including an image of a protein structure model and perhaps a screen grab of the software or its results.
 * 3) The article could be improve with more wikilinks to related articles in Wikipedia.

Title to SWISS-MODEL?
Seems like we should call it SWISS-MODEL, all caps, as that is how the server is usually referred to. -- stillnotelf   is invisible  19:12, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Swiss-model → SWISS-MODEL – Proper name (used in article text and all sources) and per talk request · • SUM1 • ·    (talk) 18:15, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
 * This is a contested technical request (permalink).  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 21:10, 4 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Oppose - Not an acronym, therefore not eligible for all caps. Primergrey (talk) 18:57, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
 * While I'm also a fan of MOS:ALLCAPS, it is trumped by WP:COMMONNAME, and all sources I've seen use this capitalized spelling. 162 etc. (talk) 19:11, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
 * COMMOMNAME doesn't cover issues of style. Primergrey (talk) 02:22, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Correct.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  01:12, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Support per nom. WP:COMMONNAME says the term or name most typically used in reliable sources is generally preferred. If "SWISS-MODEL" capitalized is such – as it appears to be – that's the name we should use. Any assumption that capitalisation is merely stylstic ignores WP:SMALLDETAILS. 85.67.32.244 (talk) 14:35, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 * SMALLDETAILS is for distinguishing similarly-named topics. Primergrey (talk) 16:04, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose not an acronym just SHOUTING no thanks. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:16, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: I should point out that when I first saw this article result, I was uncertain as to whether I'd even be navigating to the right page, because SWISS-MODEL only ever appears in all caps, on the website itself and in all the medical sources that reference it. It's not like a case of The Times or Zara, where it only appears in caps in the logo, and publications or the website refer to it in sentence case. "Swiss-model" literally isn't a thing, anywhere. Wikipedia would be establishing precedent with it. · • SUM1 • ·    (talk) 22:03, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Support: I'm usually an advocate for lower case based on Manual of Style/Trademarks, MOS:ALLCAPS and a dislike of shouting, but in this case sources capitalize "SWISS-MODEL" overwhelmingly. When searching for, the first three pages of Google Scholar results favor all caps 40:3 and the regular Google Search is 36:2, where one of the two is this article.

 * Oppose – WP's style manual is clearly against this kind of style hackery. Dicklyon (talk) 23:27, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose per MOS:ALLCAPS and MOS:TITLES. And fix the text in the article. It's okay to add "(often stylized SWISS-MODEL)" to the lead.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  01:10, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
