Page on Z-factor is wrong[edit]

if we read the original article by Zhang et al 1999 (I have it here in front of me), the title of the page Z-factor should really be Z'-factor, because that is what the equations in the definition-section on the page describes. In the paper by Zhang et al, a Z factor is also defined, and this is different from the Z-prime factor. So you see, the flawed contents of this page is page is extra misleading. It is therefore important that that the title of the page (and the text) is correct so that the contents is not confused with the definition of the real Z factor! Thus, according to Zhang et al:

{\text{Z-prime factor}}=1-{3(\sigma _{p}+\sigma _{n}) \over |\mu _{p}-\mu _{n}|}.

while,

{\text{Z-factor}}=1-{3(\sigma _{s}+\sigma _{c}) \over |\mu _{s}-\mu _{c}|}.

where s denotes sample and c control.

Question, how do we change this? Can you as "editor" change the title of the page, or do we for example create a new page called Z' factor and copy the current article there and make the current page a stub with only a little bit of text referring to the original article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by JohanNord (talk • contribs) 23:39, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you believe the article is incorrect, please edit it! If you would like the opinion of an expert on the subject, I suggest contacting User:Michael Hardy. Thanks, Geometry guy 09:17, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The "move" tab on the article page can be used to "move" (i.e., rename) the article to a new title. Racepacket (talk) 14:16, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
