[edit] Merge with diacylglycerol

I suggest merging this with diacylglycerol because diglyceride and diacylglycerol are merely different names for the same thing. Some editing would be necessary, since this page seems to be broadly defining the subject (from a food additive entry point apparently) while the other page seems to be narrowly discussing diacylglycerols in their biochemical role.

I support the merge but it'll take a little re-working. DAG is thought of in two different contexts (intermediate in fat metabolism vs. signaling molecule) as evidenced by the two different pages for it and it'll take a bit of work to explain both of them separately. but i definitely agree that there should be only one page.

Okay, I was bold and merged the pages. I merged into diglyceride since there already seems to be a network of glyceride-named articles set up. Otherwise we would have to go back and change all of those into -acylglycerol articles. However, it seems there were a ton of articles linking to diacylglycerol. Guess I have some merry linkfixing to do >.< Sakkura 22:31, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Looks good. Seems to me that as long as you set up a redirect page from the acylglycerol page you shouldn't need to fix the links, no? Roadnottaken 20:43, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
