Talk:American Board of Internal Medicine

The moderator has done a poor job on this page for the last 4 years. While citing overly-stringent Wikipedia policy, he or she has left this web page in disarray. A more even-handed, knowledgeable editor/moderator is needed who can balance the multiple policy goals of wikipedia in a fair manner that serves the interest of the reader. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.41.31.9 (talk) 22:02, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Counterpoint to ABIM regulation
Repeated addition of material like these    do not comply with WP guidance and policy such as WP:EL, WP:SOAPBOX, and WP:RS; however, they do highlight a lack of coverage in our article of dissent. Addition of well-sourced encyclopedic material on this subject to the body of this article would be worthwhile. I have asked for input from others on this topic. -- Scray (talk) 13:22, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The ABIM article is basically a press release for the ABIM and does not at all reflect the significant physician opposition to its programs. Repeated addition of material as stated above is only a meager attempt to provide appropriate balance to a totally propagandized article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.141.160.175 (talk • contribs) 12:24, 12 October 2012‎
 * If you'd like to propose constructive changes that will restore such balance to the page, please make suggestions here. If you'd like to make substantive changes to the article, please read the policies and guidance cited above to ensure that your edits are not in violation of our rules.  -- Scray (talk) 15:21, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Changeboardrecert.com is actually a website with articles from the medical literature that provide a reasoned argument to the ABIM propaganda present in this article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.89.87.6 (talk • contribs) 17:37, 17 October 2012‎
 * Reliable sources regarding this issue would be a good resource in planning edits to this article. This talk page would be a good place to discuss such edits, but if you would like to make constructive edits (supported by reliable sources) you are welcome to do so.  -- Scray (talk) 18:08, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Again the website has peer reviewed articles outlining a reasoned case against the maintenance of certification program of the ABIM. That is why it really should be allowed on the page, as it is the single best source of reliable sources! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.141.160.175 (talk) 00:12, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think you understand our policies - we add to the encyclopedia by adding content to the articles here, supported by reliable sources. Adding an external link is NOT adding content and is generally discouraged.  -- Scray (talk) 00:27, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

What does this mean?
including more than 8,000 physicians holding certifications that hold certifications which are valid indefinitely — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheCat (talk • contribs) 14:25, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Summary of recent ABIM criticism
I think this is interesting.
