Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pharmacology/General/Naming of drug pages

Contrary to Naming conventions
Before you go any further with moving pages around, I urge that you give this issue a much more visible venue for discussion. Your suggested naming style is in pretty direct conflict with Wikipedia policy. Please see Naming conventions, where there are specific conventions under consideration, including one for Chemistry (Naming conventions (chemistry)) where there is some discussion about IUPAC name vs. common name. -Rholton 04:35, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your input, Rholton. I've looked at your links and I disagree that our policy contradicts any other policy. But I'll give it a break for now. You all can duke it out, I'm going on vacation. Matt 05:27, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I agree with Rholton, this WikiProjects naming conventions are way out of line with broader wikipedia practice. Fawcett5 22:49, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

RFC?

 * Does this page still need to be listed at RFC? Maurreen 07:03, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Suggestions
"If there are very many names for the drug, a box should be made near the top (e.g. carbachol)."

I disagree with this; the article is quite messy and doesn't conform to any of the other standards for a drug page. I've removed the table from the carbachol article, and will work on cleaning it up when I get a chance. Fuzzform 04:58, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
