This article was started by Dr. Uner Tan, who we will take to be Topic Informant for the Unertan Syndrome article, since he was discoverer of the phenomenon. See Policy on Topic Informants. --Larry Sanger 08:29, 27 June 2007 (CDT)

If there are no objections, I can work on cleaning this up for formatting. I just want to get approval, first. --Robert W King 12:55, 27 June 2007 (CDT)

Yes, please!

Some background for those unfamiliar with and skeptical about the phenomenon: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/article739263.ece

All: I believe that before we move this article to the main article namespace, it is our duty to check the article's sources. I believe we should also interview Uner Tan. Is anyone interested in doing this? --Larry Sanger 13:00, 27 June 2007 (CDT)

The article is still on the main namespace: Unertan Syndrome. James A. Flippin 13:37, 27 June 2007 (CDT)
I referred it to Robert's revision for now. --Matt Innis (Talk) 13:44, 27 June 2007 (CDT)

Rename?

As I suggested on the article in the namespace, I think this article should be renamed, perhaps to Human quadrupedism, or some other generic term. The only sources providing the name Unertan Syndrome are written by Uner Tan and other scientists (see this paper) are not convinced that the features seen in the families are inherently connected or constitute a unique snydrome.
