Minimizing duplication between Tocopherol and Vitamin E

Latest comment: 8 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Proposed: That the two articles, Tocopherol and Vitamin E, complement each other without large amounts of duplication, with the molecular structure and consequent bioactivity in Tocopherol, and Uses in Vitamin E. In each article, there will be a summary of the content that is expanded upon in the other article. The intended model here is how mineral articles have a link to the same minerals' roles in biology. At present there is extensive Uses content in the Tocopherol article, so this will require a transplant. Before I do this, anyone want to disagree? My plan is to clean up uses in March and do the transplant in April. Sources (foods table) already deleted here and existing only in Vitamin E. David notMD (talk) 11:04, 20 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Uses transplanted to Vitamin E. Leaving behind shorter version here. Both still need a bit of work on Supplements and on Antioxidant theory. David notMD (talk) 00:35, 6 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
