I think that the title of this article should be more specific in a general encyclopedia. Readers might imagine that the words "direct linear plot" could apply to many different subjects which have nothing to do with biochemistry.

I would suggest a title change to either "Direct linear plot (Enzyme kinetics)" or "Direct linear plot (Biochemistry)". Dirac66 (talk) 15:07, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Yes, you're right. I'll deal with it tomorrow. Athel cb (talk) 21:02, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I have changed it to "Direct linear plot (biochemistry)" Athel cb (talk) 06:56, 13 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Very good. Dirac66 (talk) 14:18, 13 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Another editor (Clovermoss) has changed it back to Direct linear plot, without the parenthesis. I'm not sure what I should do. Athel cb (talk) 15:21, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Does anyone else agree with Athel cb and me that it would be better to include the word "biochemistry" in the title of this article? Clovermoss' reason for deleting the word is stated in the edit summary as "Remove unnecessary parentheses/disambiguator". Dirac66 (talk) 01:50, 18 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Dirac66: Yes, I did that because of how disambiguation works. Parentheses aren't added unless there are other articles with the same name. I'm popping up here now because someone fixed a link to my username and that pinged me. In the future, I'd appreciate if you let me know personally if you have any concerns about my actions or want me to clarify anything. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 12:36, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Clovermoss:@Athel cb:If parentheses are against the rules, how about "Direct linear plot in biochemistry"? Dirac66 (talk) 22:51, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

That would be WP:NATDAB and it's not nessecary because again, we don't have an article on other types of direct linear plots. If you want to create the other kind, disambiguation might be a better idea, but until that happens I think things should stay as they are. You could start a move request if you disagree.
