[edit] Dental amalgam controversy
Any dentists or toothy-interested persons might want to have a look at dental amalgam controversy and it's talk page. I'm having a discussion with User:Dr. Imbeau that might be of interest (Talk:Dental amalgam controversy#Critics). · j e r s y k o talk · 00:20, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 'Palmer notation' vs 'Palmer notation method'
User:Dozenist asked if I could help out by checking if any of his list of dental stubs had a cross-over into wider medical practice - most of terms I had never heard of. However I did learn that the system I had always seen in UK used by GPs, ENTs and Dentists in communicating between themselves not only was not the only system, but that it had a name. Unfortunately Palmer notation article did not yet exist, so having done some research, I created it. Then checking the "what links here", it became apparent that wikipedia articles use two attempts to link to this topic: the various teeth articles use Palmer notation whilst the various numbering-method articles use Palmer Notation Method. Before I adjust Palmer Notation Method links to Palmer notation, could a dentist please advise which is the more correct of the two terms (PS 'Palmer Notation Method' breaches wikipedia article naming as it would need to be 'Palmer notation method') :-) Yours David Ruben Talk 02:02, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- My morphology textbook, which is called Wheeler's Dental Anatomy, Physiology, and Occlusion, uses the term "Palmer notation system." It also says it is referred to "less commonly as the Zsigmondy/Palmer notation system." - Dozenist talk 02:43, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- I note the other relevant articles are named Dental notation and FDI World Dental Federation notation, neither of which qualify their topic's title as being a "system" David Ruben Talk 22:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Shortcut
I note the wikiproject announces its shortcut as being WP:DENT, which probably explains why I struggled to find the thing. Any objection to having alternative/additional shortcut of WP:DENTISTRY ? :-) David Ruben Talk 22:47, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Project directory
Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 00:15, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Problem assessing articles
I assessed some articles, and they still are listed as unassessed (as well as what I assessed them). Anyone know what the problem could be? RobJ1981 22:19, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
