Woah

This page is very, very impressive, and seems to have just popped up out of nowhere..which makes me think this is copypasta. Can't confirm, but if not, very very well done! Miserlou (talk) 05:33, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nah its not a copyvio, look on Dagrun's user page for the build history. I agree its quite well done though! Meodipt (talk) 06:21, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for the complement guys! I can assure you that this is not a copypaste, we are four pharmacy students who have worked really hard to create this page. But exactly, you can see the history on our userpage. We decided to build up our page there, and then create this page with the correct title. bida (talk) 10:43, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the proposal was 'support for move.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 04:23, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move?

Almost everything there is to know about this class of drugs can be found in this article. Why not move this article to "Cannabinoid receptor 1 antagonist"? --PFHLai (talk) 15:31, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pls see WT:PHARM#University project?. --PFHLai (talk) 13:28, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I concur and further propose we drop the "1". Robert K S (talk) 22:06, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Article_titles, I also concur that the article should be renamed simply "Cannabinoid receptor antagonist". (Incredible de novo article by the way!) Boghog2 (talk) 22:36, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I´m not sure that it is a good idea to remove the "1" because we only covered the CB1 antagonists. There has been alot of research about CB2 antagonists, and that might be a good topic for a new article.bida (talk) 18:35, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: on Wikipedia:Requested moves the request is to move to Cannabinoid receptor antagonists (plural); I prefer Cannabinoid receptor antagonist (singular). Although the article at present does not discuss CB2 antagonists at any length, such discussion would fit within the article, or in one of a set of articles for which Cannabinoid receptor antagonist would then provide an overview. --Una Smith (talk) 20:34, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Opps, that was a typo on my part. I agree the new article page name should be singular rather than plural. Now fixed on the Wikipedia:Requested moves page. Cheers. Boghog2 (talk) 20:49, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Cannabinoid receptor antagonist can be used in text as is; the current title more often than not would have to be piped. --Una Smith (talk) 22:15, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
