==I==
I have moved this from Haematology to keep the American spelling into Wikipedia, however much I abhor the dropping of "AE"s from all those bloody words like hemoglobin, ischemia and the like.  18:00, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

The article blood diseases is much better than this page.  
I think these two pages should be merged, but not know how to but the merge template on page.  

Very simple: take the content out of one article, put it in the other, and then turn the former into a redirect to the latter.  | T@lk 

Pages merged - lists need a lot of work.

Inexplicable text (above line) removed from article page. Does it mean anything?  

It's a newbie test, resulting from clicking the buttons above the edit window.  | T@lk 

I think that the article hematology should define hematology (as in what a hematologist does), not blood diseases.  We should create that article separately.  

I think that haematologist and haematology should remain separate pages.  They are not the same.  It is easy to click on a link to look up haematologist on the haematology page.  

I disagree. Being a hematologist is practicing hematology. Hematology is not just the diseases but just as much diagnostics, epidemiology and laboratory medicine. Together with gastroenterology it is one of the few fields that has retained its own diagnostic process (no need to send the blood film to a dedicated expert). I'd suggest moving the diseases to a seperate page and using this page to mention the main ones (red cells, white cells, transfusion and coagulation).  | T@lk 

SPELLING!
Can we please have this page retitled as hematology. It is NOT spelt hematology, sorry if american people think it is spelt like that. But ARGGGHHH, doctors were around in england long before america, the language was born here, spelling it wrongly just makes you look stupid -  regards  .

I think there is room in the world for both spellings as all things evolve differently in different locations. Including language and it's details.

 Since when were doctors in England before America? Native Americans practiced medicine. And if you refer to doctors as practitioners of modern Western medicine, remember that at the time America became a country, doctors were still trying to save people by bleeding them. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.173.46.246  .

 There is a redirect from haematology to hematology, so we English will find the page.  

The page was at Haematology until  changed it to Hematology in an edit on the 5th of November, 2004, apparently in order to "keep the American spelling into Wikipedia". According to Wikipedia policy, it should have stayed at Haematology (there is no preference for US English in Wikipedia), but it has been at the (admittedly awful) title of "Hematology" for so long, trying to get it restored may be something of a fruitless exercise. C'est la Vie! )  

I think that probably we should leave it at hematology because moving it would provoke the opposite argument and there is a redirect, after all.
