Do you think you could change "open for students" to a number? I don't know why, but it kind of annoys me that everyone has a number and you're continually open. Thanks. Dan653 (talk) 20:10, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

That's just my preference. I don't see why it should annoy you. I just don't think I would get swamped. If there is consensus to do so, I'll change it, otherwise it could just be you that's getting annoyed over something silly. I'll drop Achowat a message tomorrow.

Wax buildup

I see your question was blanked out here: [1]. I disagree that over-the-counter remedies require a doctor's advice. If they did, you would need a prescription for them.

The most common method which is actually recommended (unlike Q-tips/"cotton buds", which supposedly aren't to be inserted into the ear) is use of drops formulated to dissolve the wax. Warming the liquid up first will help, too. Your locally pharmacy/chemist should have those. And, like I implied, no prescription is required. This technique is rather messy, though, which is why many use the method you tried. StuRat (talk) 16:52, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) From past experience i would say try to avoid sticking objects such as fingers/buds into your ear canal, lest you damage the skin (can end up with a boil). And please delete this post if it infringes any RD medical rules . benzband (talk) 21:19, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Note that StuRat has a long history of fighting against the rules about giving medical advice on the Reference Desks, and also of offering his own unqualified, unsupported, unreferenced opinions. I would strongly advise you against following either his advice or his example. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 14:55, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

TenOfAllTrades. I see your comments as a personal attack on StuRat and they are unwanted here. Please redact your statement. I have come across you only once before, and in my honest opinion, your lack of AGF is particularly unfriendly. I don't care how you and StuRat have interacted in the past, I don't want the drama on my talkpage. Thank you for understanding.

On another note, I asked for advice, not answers. And if you look anywhere on the internet (like I did after you struck my question) most sites have the exact same answers as StuRat and benzband. This also is not article space, so any comment made here does not have to be sourced to meet any guidelines. Again, thank you for understanding. MrLittleIrish ^(talk) 申 15:08, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
