[[User:Cyberfreeworld|Cyberfreeworld]] ([[User talk:Cyberfreeworld|talk]]) 18:51, 23 March 2013 (UTC) Would like to see a section that shows more about the actual practice of this test. After research when did FDA (for example) approve this. When did medical providers actually begin using this test. Were there any objections or attempts to prohibit use of Pap tests (smear). Was there any controversy about its effectiveness in the early days? This should be under History.
== Mum's the word? ==
<blockquote>
The Papani'''colaou''' test is a method of cervical screening used to detect potentially precancerous and cancerous processes ... The test was independently invented in the 1920s by Dr. Georgios Papani'''kolaou''' and Dr. Aurel Babeș and '''named after''' Papani'''kolaou'''.
</blockquote>
Named after: You had ''one'' job. Care to explain yourself, or mum's the word?
A possible solution is to create a redirect from [[Georgios Papanicolaou]] (no such page as of today) to Georgios Papanikolaou and then standardize on the 'c' spelling within this article. — [[user:MaxEnt|MaxEnt]] 21:06, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
