Paramesonephric duct → Müllerian duct – As seen by Googling Müllerian duct here, and Paramesonephric duct here, Müllerian duct is the WP:Common name. And yet the article was changed to Paramesonephric duct back in 2011 by Arcadian. I don't see how the term paramesonephric duct is any more technical/correct than the term Müllerian duct, and request that the article be returned to its former name per the WP:Common name policy. Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style/Medicine-related articles#Article titles states, "The article title should be the scientific or recognised medical name that is most commonly used in recent, high-quality, English-language medical sources, rather than a lay term (unscientific or slang name) or a historical eponym that has been superseded." From what I see in older and newer sources, and those in between, the term Müllerian duct complies with that. I first realized this Müllerian duct vs. paramesonephric duct issue at Talk:Mesonephric duct#Proposed merge with Wolffian system. My attention was brought back to it with this and this edit, and similar edits, made by HoneyBadger4 today. In that second edit, you can see that HoneyBadger4 also changed the term Fallopian tubes to uterine tubes, despite Fallopian tubes being the WP:Common name. That article was changed back to Fallopian tube in 2012 after a different editor attempted to rename it Uterine tube; see here. Despite my reverting HoneyBadger4 on the "change Müllerian duct to paramesonephric duct" matter here and here, and at multiple other articles, explaining why I have reverted him, he has continued to make these changes at different articles...including changing Fallopian tube to uterine tube, as seen here, presumably because he is preparing to move that page to the Uterine tube title; he also recently moved the Müllerian eminence content to Sinus tubercle, and made this move request. This type of editing needs to stop.

I will alert WP:Anatomy and WP:Med to this discussion. Flyer22 (talk) 21:50, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
