Proposed interleukin articles moves
Hi. The recommended UniProt names for the interleukins and their receptors contains a dash in the name (see for example ). Hence in my opinion, the page moves that you are proposing are unnecessary and arguably incorrect. You need to provide a better justification than "usage, accuracy and style".

In the scientific literature, the names of cytokines including interleukins normally have dashes in them (see for example ). Hence I strongly believe these articles should not be renamed. Also you have made a large number of edits within these articles to remove dashes from cytokine names. Unless you can provide a better justification for these changes, I believe these edits should be undone. Boghog (talk) 16:41, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Boghog, I agree that this should be discussed before such wholesale changes are made, but thought you should note the following usage throughout the Dinarello review that you cited: IFNγ - clearly, the usage without the hyphen for that cytokine is common.  -- Scray (talk) 21:10, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Scray, fair enough. However I also note there is lack of uniformity between the Dinarello review and UniProt recommended name for two cytokines:
 * IFNγ or IFN-gamma
 * TNFα or TNF-alpha
 * hence in these cases, the preferred spelling is not so clear cut. Boghog (talk) 22:38, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
