[edit] Felkin model should be Felkin-Anh model?

The Felkin model being discussed is (at least in North America (and New Zealand Aaadddaaammm 05:12, 30 October 2006 (UTC))) popularly known as Felkin-Anh; Felkin was the experimentalist and Anh was a theoretician that more thoroughly proved the wide applicability of the rule.

It follows from that that the "Felkin" and "Felkin-Anh" models are not different (as it's understood from the article, but the same.

Should the name be changed?

  • Hi Dockingman, my involvement with this article ended with the Felkin model for the simple reason that my library does not provide access to the Ahn articles. The external link given in the article treats them separately though. If you feel that they are the same then by all means make the necessary edit. V8rik 20:29, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
    • As I understand it, Anh's work it's not a model by itself, but instead an extension and more general model of Felkin's rule. That's what I get from the external link, too. I'll get to modify it soon then. -- dockingmanTalk 14:26, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
