References

edit

It doesn't make any sense to require references for this basic anatomical term. What would one reference? Every anatomy textbook ever? Even if we could identify the first usage of the term in print, is there any reason to believe a Latin term's origin is attributable to the first author to put it in print?--Niels Olson 23:58, 18 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Why not? If it is as basic as you say, then a reference should not be hard to come by. Just one book will do, no need to find the origin (although if you DO know who coined the term it could usefully go in the article). SpinningSpark 10:54, 13 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

No one said that you had to reference every anatomy textbook, just a single reputable one would do. If this were written by a person with known experience and/or active investigation into the topic I wouldn't require a reference for a basic anatomic term, but I don't know if you or the dozen people who alter the article after you know what the heck you/they are talking about.

Merger

edit

I propose merging this article into Costochondral articulations which appears to be an identical subject. SpinningSpark 11:02, 13 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Anyone understand this?

Does anyone, other than people who already knew what it was, actually understand this article? It seems to require a good bit of background knowledge in anatomy. Bandanamerchant (talk) 00:21, 8 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
