Talk:Anatomical position

There is already an article Terms for anatomical location which covers much the same subject and could be merged with this one. Any objections? (BTW, I like this one better because of its excellent style but the other one has dozens of links to it so it might be easier to move content from here to there) Cheers, Kosebamse 19:57 24 May 2003 (UTC)

No problem here...Thanks for the kind word. Note: I like cranial/rostral in the other article as opposed to my cephalic. KJ Sam 21:55 24 May 2003 (UTC)

I´ve spent an hour trying to integrate the content, but somehow it didn´t work. As the other article does not specifically refer to human anatomy, it might be best to leave it the way it is, and let this article deal specifically with human anatomy. It could perhaps be renamed "terms in human anatomy" or something like that. Kosebamse

Thank you for your efforts, and I concur that much of the material overlaps. Since the anatomical position is a widely used phrase and a distinct device applicable to a whole corpus, I believe it should be separated from other relative or positional terms such superficial/deep, external/internal, supine/prone... I hesitated to include the last paragraph because it wandered into that area; however I was unaware of the other page at the time. KJ Sam 05:35 25 May 2003 (UTC)

Since those other terms are of a more general nature, they should probably go into the other article, I´ll give it a try later. Thanks for your work! Kosebamse 07:06 25 May 2003 (UTC)
