Talk:1925 serum run to Nome

I've never seen it referred to as just the "Mercy Race to Nome" (which gets 43 Google hits). It's either the "Great Race of Mercy to Nome" (872 hits), or the "1925 serum run" (843; "1925" and "serum run" gets 3,560). Either would be a better title :) 68.81.231.127 20:08, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Oh, the section on Togo should probably go back. It's very specific to Togo, and I intended it to eventually become a summary of this article, whenever it got created :). 68.81.231.127 20:18, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Huh, when I did a search for--um, whatever I searched for--I think Balto and Nome and diphtheria or something--I kept seeing the Mercy Race to Nome, so that's what I called it. I don't know that it matters too much as long as we've got something to call it other than just having every reference to it here in Wikipedia (not too many yet, but they're out there) all linking to Iditarod instead. If it were me-- "1925 serum run" is too vague and I don't know that I'd recognize it if I saw it (and I've been at least vaguely familiar with the story most of my life for unknown reasons); the longer version just seems, I dunno, long. But, as I said, I'm not emotionally attached to any one. As for Togo-specific section, OK, it can go back; I had more envisioned that this article would be fleshed out in detail so that the Togo section wouldn't stand out so blatantly as being so detailed. Again, though, I'm easy. :-) I just barged in here & started shuffling stuff around because I wanted to have a page to link to. Elf | Talk 22:46, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I've been using "1925 serum run" in the wording of most of the articles that I eventually planned to link here (I like short titles :), but I think anything that makes an easy link would work and the "Mercy" variants are certainly more memorable. "Great Race of Mercy", maybe? 68.81.231.127 23:04, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
