~more of my favorite quotations from here at wikipedia
Thanks againBold text I know that there is a way to put a link into talk pages that gives you a notification, but I do not know it. So I am coming to your talk pages.

I got into a friendly fight with other editors arount MEDRS, so I am a little nervous about being bold in this topic, so I personally appreciate your involvement (as well Chemist). I hope to be a good editor over time, so please consider this an investment you are making into me as well as the article. I do not feel any ownership (sorry about the primary and tertiary terminology) I hope I bring some useful perspective, but like the equal voice of everyone who is willing to participate in creating an excellent article. I think this is a fascinating, topical, and useful article. Hundreds of thousands of people have been affected. I think a neutral and well sourced article is helpful to the society, to the debate, to the patients, and to Wikipedia. So I appreciate the help to achieve excellence. And as I said earlier, I would like to gain confidence and do more after this article is complete. I also will accept suggestions on further research. I have put a lot of time into this, and want to get it right. Thanks!Bob the goodwin (talk) 22:10, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Keep Empowerment of Women should actually be a parent category which could encompass a lot of the smaller categories. Basically there are two major sides women and men. Let's just make it a neutral topic and neutral categories. I propose keep this one. and also create a category Empowerment of Men. Long standing never trumps change, and a better equality and a movement toward total neutrality on our beloved Wikipedia could make Wikipedia more encyclopedic.
