Talk:Mary Herring

Physician?
Was Herring a physician in the British and Commonwealth sense (a specialist in internal medicine) or in the North American sense (a medical practitioner)? See Physician for further clarification on the different senses of the word. The article should be clear about what is intended by the word. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 03:00, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The article makes it clear enough. The Wikipedia generally follows American conventions. I am open to making changes if you have a suggestion. Hawkeye7 (talk) 04:20, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
 * With respect, I disagree with both your points - the article does not make it clear enough (otherwise why would I have asked?) and articles on Australian topics are not expected to follow US conventions. I suggest that unless Herring specialised in internal medicine the wording should be changed to "medical doctor". Of course, it is up to you. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 07:05, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
