[edit] Acetaminophen or Paracetamol
Are there any Wikipedia guidelines regarding whether this article should be listed under Acetaminophen or Paracetamol? I always thought that en.wikipedia.org favored American English so Acetaminophen would be preferred. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.181.111.82 (talk) 16:39, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
Wikipedia is neutral - officially it favours/protects the original language version of the article unless extremely good reasons exist to change - either keeping the article in English or in American. In this case the article must have been in English originally and therefore American spellings/names are secondary. There are Wikipedia guidelines on all these rules - they're boring to read but very useful to help editors avoid mistakes (eg believing that "en.wikipedia.org favored American") — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.43.214.180 (talk) 05:01, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Possible cause of Alzheimers
Causes of Alzheimer's disease: paracetamol (acetaminophen) today? Amphetamines tomorrow? seems worthy of mention if only because it may be controversial. - Rod57 (talk) 23:54, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Ref for recently added para under "mechanism of action"
Put in ref The reference to the last sentance in the first paragraph under the headline mechanism of action needs to have the reference incorporated. The full ref is: Andersson DA, Gentry C, Alenmyr L, Killander D, Lewis SE, Andersson A, Bucher B, Galzi J-L, Sterner O, Bevan S, Högestätt ED, Zygmunt PM. TRPA1 mediates spinal antinociception induced by acetaminophen and the cannabinoid Δ9-tetrahydrocannabiorcol. Nat Commun, 2011; 2: 551.
The PMID is: 22109525 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.235.144.166 (talk) 09:25, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
- I've added the inline reference. I'm not a subject-matter expert, so I've copied the ref details with minimal formatting an no {{cite}} template.
- Is the "nature communications" in the text "An article in nature communications from a research group in Lund..." the journal Nature Communications? If so, I'll format and link it - or you can (this comment shows how). Mitch Ames (talk) 10:20, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
