Naming convention

I could be wrong, but I thought the usual naming convention is to have a singular title. In this case, "Steroid". In this way, the first line would be changed to "A steroid, (or steroid hormone), is a powerful hormone with drastic effects, both good and bad, when artificially introduced into living systems." If figure if a change needs to occur, it should happen before the subpages are created. Richard Pettitt 10:30, 21 December 2007 (CST)

Ttile fixed, thank for the reminder Richard.

Also, I can't decide how much information to put on this page regarding each of the classes of steroids. At present, I think more detailed pages for each steroid, or class of steroids, is needed to detail the physiological role of each group or each particular steroid. David E.
