This is the founder of Wiki Doctorates

Hi, WELCOME to my talk page. I am the founder of Wiki Doctorates and I'd love if you could leave me any messages or questions. Cheers! I you have any questions to do with the following groups feel free to leave a message if not and you just want to leave a message feel free!

IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE A MESSAGE ON THIS PAGE USE THE "+" TAB, NOT THE "EDIT THIS PAGE" TAB!

I'm sorry, I messed up

I'm sorry. I probably should have said something to the effect that it would probably be deleted. I didn't want to just delete it again, and tell you to stop; I didn't consider that it would be worse to let it get tagged for deletion by someone else and taken to MfD. I was mostly trying to move it out of article space, but I ended up setting you up for a nasty experience. I apologize. -GTBacchus^(talk) 12:28, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Amoxicillin

I've reverted your change on Amoxicillin for being instruction and directional, which Wikipedia does not do. Such information is appropriate on the product's patient information leaflet, but not in articles on drugs (see WP:NOT#GUIDE, 1st point "Instruction manuals"). Standard layout for drug articles is suggested at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (medicine-related articles)#Drugs. David Ruben ^Talk 14:32, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please use talk pages and WikiDoctorate

Firstly, please use user talk pages, such as User talk:Avraham for communication, not user pages, as you did here. Secondly, may I remind you that although there are greater latitudes given for user pages, no one owns any page. The WIki Doctorates was decided overwhelmingly by the community to be too potentially divisive to remain, thus the removal from your page as well. If you are truly interested in recognizing wikipedia editors, I suggest you use the community-accepted WP:Barnstar methodology. Thank you. -- Avi (talk) 17:36, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Difference between recent change patrollers et al.

The fundamental difference between Wikipedia:Recent changes patrol, Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam, etc. and your suggestion is that the former and their ilk do not even imply any inherent superiority of one class of editor over another. They are merely statements of participation in certain wikipedia projects. Similarly, WP:Barnstars are given based on events or actions. Even general barnstars do not imply the editor is "better"—merely that their work is appreciated.

Using the nomenclature of higher academia automatically implies a class difference and superiority, in as much that the hard work that goes in to the attainment of a real-world doctorate or graduate degree does indicate that the possessor of said degree is more qualified to respond, work, teach, and in general act within the bounds of said degree than someone lacking that level of education.

Having a form of recognition that ipso facto seems to bifurcate editors in that way is something against wikipedia's philosophy, and that is why your suggestion, as good-hearted and well-intentioned as I am sure you were, was not accepted by the community.

I hope this explains the reaction to the suggestion more clearly, and you now understand why references to the project should be deleted. Thank you. -- Avi (talk) 17:44, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
