WikiProject Dentistry -- Update

Hey there! Over the past year or so, the WikiProject Dentistry has fallen into disrepair. Dozenist hasn't been around in nearly 2 years, and after some email communication, he's indicated that he's no longer interested in heading the project. In fact, the project has been labeled inactive since November 2010!

My plan is to focus less on internal bureaucratic policy and more on article creation, article clean-up and article maintenance. That's why people use Wikipedia to search for dental topics -- because it contains wonderfully explained, wonderfully formatted information on relevant topics, not because there are 5 dental articles featured as GA or 7 articles featured as such. So if that's what you like, don't let me stop you, but I think the focus should be on, as I said, article creation and article maintenance.

I welcome all comments, questions and suggestions. If you're new and you'd like help, I'll try to guide you. You can check out my latest few articles: Underwood's septa, platform switching, Bone remodeling period, Cone beam computed tomography, C-terminal telopeptide and furcation defect. You cannot imagine how many dental students I come across at Columbia who tell me they utilize Wikipedia on a weekly basis, but find that there are not enough articles on dental subjects. So let's get out there are create well written, well sourced articles on dental topics. Have a great day! DRosenbach ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 12:55, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

transpress

Hi Annekcm, the firm transpress Verlag spells its name with lower case letters as do some of the other members of the publishing group, see their group site and the title of their transport lexicon. I would therefore be grateful if you could revert your recent good faith edits. Thanks. --Bermicourt (talk) 06:34, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry about that. Seems you're right of course. how embarrassing. I'll change them back.Annekcm (talk) 22:52, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Just an update. I checked the manual of style on this sort of thing. Seems trademarks are to get a capital regardless of the preferred formatting of the company involved. Am I reading this wrong or is there an exception?--Annekcm (talk) 22:42, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Okay, I knew about eBay, but hadn't realised there was a general rule about capitalising all other trade names. In that case I can hardly object, although it doesn't seem to follow Wikipedia's general rule about copying what the sources do. Cheers. --Bermicourt (talk) 07:16, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

I know what you mean. Given the query, I'll just leave everything as is; I'll not "correct" the rest of them but leave the changed ones as they are instead of reverting them.--Annekcm (talk) 11:01, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanx. --Bermicourt (talk) 14:42, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
