Talk:Maternal–fetal medicine

Latest comment: 7 years ago by Insertcleverphrasehere in topic Requested move 12 April 2016

My plans for this page edit

I’m hoping to expand this article in the coming days (April 5th through the 8th) by:

  1. adding a lead section, picture, and info box
  2. 2. including a history of the development of this specialty
  3. 3. refining spectrum of care
  4. 4. adding relevant international organizations and common journals

In addition, I plan to increase the links to other wiki articles, and provide more external links/further reading.

I had initially planned to change the name to “perinatology”, but google ngram viewer seems to show that the term “maternal-fetal medicine” has overtaken “perinatology” in recent literature. Any feedback is more than welcome! Fairlycromulent (talk) 19:00, 1 April 2016 (UTC)fairlycromulentReply

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved per WP:MOS. En dash is harder for readers to type is not an issue as there will be a redirect anyway. (non admin closure) InsertCleverPhraseHere 06:50, 23 April 2016 (UTC)Reply



Maternal-fetal medicineMaternal–fetal medicine – En dash, not hyphen 123.243.76.165 (talk) 05:26, 12 April 2016 (UTC) 123.243.76.165 (talk) 05:26, 12 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose en dash is harder for readers to type making it harder to directly access this article. --Tom (LT) (talk) 21:31, 12 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Support - from MOS:HYPHEN and MOS:DASH, I think the two terms maternal and fetal are independent of each other, and should be separated by an en-dash, not by a hyphen. Per In some cases, like diode–transistor logic, the independent status of the linked elements requires an en dash instead of a hyphen. LT910001's oppose argument is not very persuasive, as ease or otherwise of typing the name is not a factor in choosing WP:ARTICLETITLE. The current name would in any case remain as a redirect.  — Amakuru (talk) 09:15, 20 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
