Talk:Staining

[edit] Rearrangement and refactoring

I'm thinking that trying to divide biological or histological stains up into in vivo and in vitro articles isn't working. I'm planning on merging in vivo staining and in vitro staining into one article in the next few days, unless someone has any serious objections. At the same time, I would move the merged article to the title Stain (biology) and relink the redirects appropriately.

I'll also attack some housekeeping tasks, including adding information for some of the other stains listed on this page (many of which are not in vivo stains, by the way).

Finally, I'll add a section on fluorescent stains, since these play a very important role in modern cell biology.

Any comments? Thoughts? Suggestions as to why this might be an ill-advised venture? --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 21:19, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Great idea. Go for it! - Marshman 03:27, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Wow--there's a weird coincidence. I just moved the page, and was fixing redirects when I saw your comment. Glad you approve. :) --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 03:36, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
