User talk:華風如火

Hello. Both "Von" and "von" are used in the literature when the term is at the start of a sentence. The article title is capitalized so varying may cause needless confusion. Changing the abbreviation to VWF is fine. Hrodvarsson (talk) 23:29, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
 * As you can find in this website: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/7450, it's a proper noun and that you cannot change its capital for any reason or, at your pleases.
 * I am not sure if Wikipedia has a guideline for following the HGNC. Wikipedia follows the IUPAC but not the IMA, for example. In my experience both V and v are used, both in full and in the abbreviation, though this could be a peculiarity of the authors. (Looking at the bibliography section of the ncbi link, examples are, , as well as , which has 1300 citations.) I do not have a preference either way, but if you are to change this you should apply it across the whole article (there remains "Von Willebrand Factor" and similar usages), and add Template:Lowercase title.
