[edit] Shortcut?
What would it take to get a shortcut link to this? 'D be nice to type WP:NaD (for Not a Doctor) or some such ... This isn't personal laziness; I can copy and paste a big long link as easily as anything. But having a shortcut might encourage the community as a whole to add these links where they're needed. eritain 17:54, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Another grammar suggestion
"PLEASE READ THE BELOW STATEMENT" may be correct in some dialects of English, but it reads very awkwardly in others. I would suggest "PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT". Kickaha Ota 16:00, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, it's awkward. Changed now. — Laura Scudder ☎ 22:45, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Interwiki request

[[sr:Википедија:Медицинско одрицање]]
Thank you. --Branislav Jovanovic 09:53, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
- Done, thanks. JesseW, the juggling janitor 18:11, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Information can go out of date
"There is absolutely no assurance that any statement contained in an article touching on medical matters is true, correct or precise." Suggest changing this to "...statement contained or cited in an article touching on medical matters is true, correct, precise, or up-to-date."
Rationale: Consider e.g. Nonoxynol-9. If somebody had written the best possible article on N-9 in the year 1999, it would have mentioned that it is believed to protect against HIV infection, and included cites to studies showing its ability to kill HIV in vitro as well as public-health sites recommending its use for this purpose. Two years down the track, further studies pointed to the opposite conclusion. If the article had not been updated accordingly, a reader might well follow the cites in the belief that by doing so they weren't relying on Wikipedia's accuracy, while missing important material that had come out since the article was edited. --Calair 03:19, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
