Talk:Red blood cell

Suggestion to change the title to "erythrocytes"

The scientific name for these cells is erythrocytes. They are known as red blood cells, not the other way around. Wikipedia is a scientific source, not a children's coloring book. Lajoswinkler (talk) 19:25, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia for the general reader - scientific info is detailed on pages - entry terms preferably use the generally known terms.--Iztwoz (talk) 11:44, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

That's why we have redirects. Wikipedia is not supposed to promote general ignorance, but keep at it. Lajoswinkler (talk) 19:46, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

I thought it might be nice to add the actual Greek to the etymology, e.g.

From Ancient Greek ἐρυθρός (erythrós, “red”), and from Neo-Latin cyta, from Ancient Greek κύτος (kýtos, “vessel, jar”). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.152.1.145 (talk) 13:41, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Please tell me if there is anywhere else where my edit would fit better.
