Confusing titles.
[edit]Thank you shyamal for the cleanup. Is it possible to link this page to 'Bronze Frog' rather than 'Bronzed Frog' which i have never come across in any peer-reviewed article. In fact, 'Bronze Frog' is the name most commonly used in all of the research papers published in India. Unfortunately there seems to be already a page by that name. I agree that binomial nomenclature is preferable to common names as titles, but people in general would search with the common key 'bronze frog'. Is 'Bronzed Frog' a correct name?
