[edit] Rename?

I'm moving this page back to Naevus flammeus, its technical name - if there are no complaints. Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead) 10:23, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Oppose Port-wine stain is the well known "common name" while "Naevus flammeus" is the "technical name". It is similar to the Dog article being titled Dog instead of Canis lupus familiaris. Naming conventions favor the most common name recognizable to the average reader. 205.157.110.11 21:56, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I removed the listing from Wikipedia:Requested moves#Uncontroversial proposals, because it doesn't seem to be uncontroversial, per the above objection. If you wish to pursue the move, please follow the procedure for possibly controversial page moves. -GTBacchus(talk) 00:51, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
