Michael Silverman
Would you care to comment on why you reverted my redirect of Michael Silverman to DOCS Education? Silverman seems to be unnotable except for his involvement in this group. The references provided in the article are all articles written by Silverman himself, which means they are not valid references. This makes this an unreferenced biography of a living person, which violates Wikipedia's guidelines. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:58, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Subjective References
There are both subjective and academic references to Michael Silverman -

An additional reference is given to the Wall Street Journal at the bottom of the page.

While there are articles written by Dr. Michael Silverman himself, there are also 3rd-party articles referencing Dr. Silverman as a notable professional in his field.

Misuse of multiple accounts
Please be aware that Wikipedia has strict rules on use of multiple accounts. A checkuser has confirmed that user:Chris DDS and user:Sedation guru are either using the same computer or are (more likely) the same person. There are well established policies on this. Please choose one of these accounts for future editing and discontinue the other. Thanks. FT2 (Talk 01:06, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
