The benefits of this are: 1) reduce the chance of two authors independently writing two articles in parallel on the same content (but with different titles), 2) offer standardized definitions of terms that can be used at the beginning of articles, 3) anticipate common alternative terms that can be set up as redirects when the article is written, 4) facilitate the linking to CZ from other biomedical databases when web 2 arrives. As an example, we have an article titled [[Concussion of the brain]] which according to MeSH, might be better titled '[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?cmd=Search&tool=cz&db=mesh&term=Brain%20concussion Brain concussion]' with a separate page called 'Cerebral concussion' that redirects to this page.

These are proposals that are being managed on an ad hoc basis by selected individuals.

Standardizing nomenclature for wars and conflicts, with system to link in partisan names

Summary: We have had confusion, and some arguments, on the nomenclature for events involving "the extension of politics (group or national) through military or paramilitary means." The confusion involves both semantics and syntax. We need standards.

Semantic:

  • neutral name, with partisan and other names mentioned early in the article and with redirects to them (e.g., War Between the States, War of Yankee Aggression)
  • Partisan names (e.g., Operation Iraqi Freedom, 2003 US invasion of Iraq).
  • specialized (e.g., POLO STEP vice Iraqi Freedom)
  • high-intensity combat vs. occupation/nationbuilding/resistance

Syntax means choosing the format of:

  • [location], conflict in [dates]
  • conflict (war) in [location] [dates]
Original proposer: Howard C. Berkowitz 09:58, 24 July 2008 (CDT) Next step: Fill in next step
Driver: Howard C. Berkowitz To be done by: Fill in target date for next step
