[edit] Move

I took the liberty of moving GABA C receptor to GABAC receptor since that way the proper name can show up in the title with the {{downsize}} template. I assumed that this would be an uncontroversial move and that there would be no problems with it, but if there are definitely let me know. Thanks, delldot | talk 03:26, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvio

I noticed that some of the text in the article was a copyright violation from here. I tried to reword or remove all of the copyvio content I found, but I may have missed some. Also, I'd appreciate it if someone could check to determine whether my rewording is far enough from the original that it's not a problem anymore. The material was in the section entitled "GABAC receptors". Thanks, delldot | talk 04:13, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

Excellent work expanding and cleaning up the page, Boghog2! I took down the tootechnical tag and made a few other tweaks as well. Here is one sentence I thought was still pretty technical (though, admittedly, we're dealing with a very obscure subject here, so some of that can't be avoided):

In contrast to the fast and transient chloride current elicited from GABAA, GABAC receptors mediate slow and sustained responses.

I think we could make stuff more accessible by just defining our terms for the lay reader.

Also, I noticed that some info was removed, e.g. the "genetics" section. I was curious why it was removed, since it seemed like ok info to me. If the reason was that it was too technical, maybe we could reword the material rather than removing it outright. Would it be OK to add it back in? Anyway, thanks for the fixup, Boghog2! delldot talk 18:18, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Per your suggestions, the sentence that describes the differences between GABAC and GABAA chloride current characteristics has been reworded. Also a revised form of the genetics section has been re-added. Thanks for the helpful suggestions Delldot! Boghog2 06:23, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
