5-Hydroxyicosatetraenoic acid5-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid – There's a missing e in the acid name, indicating its eicosanoid nature. RoadTrain (talk) 20:22, 19 May 2016 (UTC) -- Relisting. Anarchyte (work | talk) 06:54, 27 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

In fact, references 3 and 4, as well as the PubChem entry use the "e". kennethaw88talk 00:39, 26 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
OK, based on the Chemspider entry, both spellings have been used (and the one without "e" looks to be the IUPAC version). Based on the ambiguity, I'll sit this one out... --IJBall (contribstalk) 02:13, 26 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
As both names are used in references, it's OK to have both. I only care about consistency, as there are other eicosanoids named this way and that. Also, from purely linguistic PoV, the e-containing variant seems more correct.--RoadTrain (talk) 18:30, 28 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
