[edit] Article name
To correspond with the standard of medical articles, we should move this article to the correct name of the disease, "Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis." See The naming issue. - Dozenist talk 00:08, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- I still believe the name of this article should still reflect the official term. - Dozenist talk 02:06, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
- I forgot to wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment the last time I was here, so I'm doing it now. Yes, it was called trench mouth in WWI, but nobody has called it that since then. A more apt name nowadays would be - 'smoking mouth' or 'college dorm mouth'. Both obviously sound ridiculous. Therefore I vote for a move for this article and into the 21st century.Dr-G - Illigetimi nil carborundum est. 18:29, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
