[edit] FAIMER listing & accreditation

FAIMER's search engine/page has not been working all week. Once it works again I'll add the reference for Ross's FAIMER/IMED listing. Also, I cannot find a website for the Dominica Medical Board tho I did find that they are listed as as "medical regulatory authority" ^[1]. It appears they may not have a website. If that is the case will this be forever listed as {{Fact}}? I'll be adding more info as the days go by. Bstone 07:00, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Adding a RFC based on the above questions. Bstone 19:26, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

If you're going to add RFCs, please fill out the RFC templates correctly, you must specify the section, reason and time parameters as shown in the RFC instructions. DMcMPO11AAUK/Talk/Contribs 14:56, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

My sincere apologies. However, instead of simply removing them how about correcting them? I admit I have done few RFCs. I believe this article would benefit from a comment. Bstone 17:30, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SOM category

User:Scottalter has indicated in the article history that, "all med schools are sorted by country, none directly in Category:Schools of medicine". I am confused why the category of School of Medicine even exists then. Can it be that both categories are proper? SOM being the main and country being a sub/additional category?

You might not be aware of it, but there is an entire hierarchical structure of categories within Wikipedia - many of which have no articles at all - only sub-categories. This is used to effectively categorize articles, and be able to browse the categories. If all of the schools of medicine in the world were directly within Cat:Schools of medicine, the category would be too massive to navigate. Since each country is a (sub-)sub-category of Cat:Schools of medicine, there is no need to place an article in both places. It is actually against Wikipedia guidelines to do so (see Wikipedia:Categorization and subcategories). One could find Cat:Schools of medicine is found as a sub-category of Cat:Universities and colleges by type and Cat:Medical education. If you look in Cat:Universities and colleges by type, you can see that all the different "types" of schools are categorized by country. --Scott Alter 19:42, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Licensing

Added info and link for CA site visit. Looking for NY one. Bstone 21:40, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Added NY one. Article is shaping up. Bstone 21:44, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Someone fix the Portsmouth link in the top right. It takes you to the wrong Portsmouth's page.

use this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portsmouth%2C_Dominica —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.252.143.185 (talk) 02:46, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
