Split

The sub-section on regulation in the US is about a third of the article, so I think we should consider splitting it to a separate article. What do you think? WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:10, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, Regulation of oral and maxillofacial surgery in the United States as a proposed title; and it would be better once that is done to split into current regulation and history for ease of reading. --Tom (LT) (talk) 00:10, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Done. SilkTork (talk) 19:08, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Cheeky request for help at another article, please?

The section Physical attractiveness#Jawline currently reads like an anatomy textbook. Would anyone here care to translate it into English, please? (I realise that the medical terms are needed when precision is paramount but seem excessive in this case, the equivalent of converting "about ten miles" to metric like this: "10 miles (16,093,440 mm)". My thanks to anyone who feels so inclined. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 11:56, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
