[edit] Patella or Kneecap?

Should this be at Patella or Kneecap? Dysprosia 08:42, 2 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Flip a coin. *grin* Although one definitely needs to redirect to the other. - Hephaestos 08:43, 2 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I vote for the former. We have Femur, not thybone. --Jiang 08:45, 2 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Guessing by "what links here" (plus what Jiang said) I think it's best left at patella. - Hephaestos 08:46, 2 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I use "patella" myself . . . when I don't just say "knee". 12.240.227.239 08:47, 2 Sep 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Language

I'm sure this article is very accurate, but I think it is difficult for a person without medical background to read and understand. The average person looking to learn about kneecaps isn't going to know what half of the words mean- which is okay when it would be a learning experience, but most of the unusual words don't have an explanation, or even a link. Perhaps we can make this article more 'average reader' friendly? Is there a policy that states how 'user friendly' articles like this ought to be? Phasmatisnox 02:18, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
