Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2008-10-04 Medical degree


 * Note: Please limit posts to this page to brief statements about the nature of the dispute until a volunteer adopts the case. Keep ongoing discussions about the topic to the appropriate talk page(s), but feel free to provide links to the talk page(s) where discussion has happened (and may be ongoing) for the convenience of the informal mediator and other parties. This will help keep discussion from fragmenting out across more pages and make it easier for a volunteer to review the case. Thanks!

What's going on?

 * A dispute arose that questioned the definition of "medical degree" as should be found on the article Medical degree. Should it have a definition that only includes practitioners of healing arts, any degree that includes medical education or only degrees that allow one to be a doctor of a branch of medicine.
 * A third opinion was sought and a solution was mediated, but is now in contest. Former 3O volunteer is also a MEDCAB volunteer.
 * A MEDCOM case was requested but rejected in favour of MEDCAB.

What would you like to change about that?
The disputing parties seek a resolution that provides a set of guidelines for future inclusion or not.

Discussion
The first task for this case is that I would like to see references to the various types of degree referred to as medical degrees. A simple list will suffice. If you could post the results of your searches here I would be most grateful. Sedd&sigma;n talk Editor Review 21:57, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
