replies: text: It's really not. Considering the majority of medical schools outside the United States still adhere to a medical degree being started after high school and not the United States 4+4 scheme, the U.S. pre-medical track during an undergraduate degree is somewhat unique to the United States. When it becomes the norm for the majority of medical schools to use the system, the information can be moved from the "Other countries" section to being integrated within the article.

thread_title:  Not a world view

message: This article needs attention and citations. Especially the subsection 'Coursework'. It states that "The Association of American Medical Colleges has created standard required courses that every pre-med student must take." Please provide a citation for this or it can justifiably be deleted and removed. Furthermore, it goes on to say "The typical courses that must be taken to meet the pre-medical requirement are" and then lists a cirriculum, please provide a citation for this. Someone has already added a citation needed label to that statement. PLEASE PROVIDE CITATIONS AND SOURCES. This article is seriously lacking and considering this is a medical article and an education article, that is very disturbing. This article needs immediate attention and revision.

thread_title: Poor writing for an encyclopedia entry

message: Hi All, I am new to Wikipedia editing, so feedback is appreciated. I just made some major edits to the Wikipedia entry on The Santa Claus Bank Robbery. The edits include:
(1) Better wording than the original entry (in my view), making it more suitable for an encyclopedia entry.
(2) About four times the number of citations than the article originally had (linking directly to newspapers of the 1920s and 1930s and not just recent accounts).
(3) A listing of various treatments of this story across the years, in chronological order.
Again, I welcome feedback. Tomgoodmanauthor (talk) 00:24, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Mort

message: I might just be nerding out here but has anyone else noticed a slight error with this book? Mort was referred to in the second book (when Rincewind goes to Death's house to find Twoflower) as being part of Death's group already, but he only meets Death for the first time in this book? I can see if it was a prequel, but it can't be for the simple fact of the Head Librarian. He was changed in the first book, but he makes an appearance as his orangutang-self in this one. I don't see how that would be possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.25.231.136  (talk • contribs) 17:32, 9 January 2007
*I think that "Mort" was actually a nickname for the character of Death himself in the Light Fantastic, rather than a separate character.  Once the Mort of this novel was introduced, the nickname was dropped to avoid this sort of confusion. Kaid100 23:48, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Ellen Dannin

message: MathPerson here. I recently made a number of changes to this article.
I believe that the "This article has multiple issues" template can now be removed because the issues raised there have been addressed.
Two issues are raised in this template:
(1) more citations are needed
(2) the neutrality of this article is disputed.
Regarding (1): I have recently inserted a number of citations that document claims made in the article.
Regarding (2): Although no examples were cited, I did notice a few bits of wording that could be regarded as non-neutral. I have recently removed the examples of non-neutral language that I could find.
If anyone has either (1) examples of statements in this article that need citations, or (2) examples of non-neutral language, please enter them below. I'd be happy to fix them up. (Or, you can!) Otherwise, if nobody has any objections, I will plan to remove the template in a week or two.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MathPerson (talk • contribs) 20:26, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

That was my first assosiation when I saw the title.  However, is it much more likely to have something to do with four elephants the Discworld rests on.  Anyone who know?
2007-06-01  Lena Synnerholm, Märsta, Sweden.
::There are several possibilities.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fifth_Element_%28disambiguation%29 provides some of them.  And the fifth element in the context of the novel could be fat, but I don't think we'll ever know for sure unless Pratchett speaks up!  Geoff B 09:48, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The title is almost certainly a punning reference to The Fifth Element. Pratchett has based many Discworld titles on movie titles - the first in the series The Colour Of Magic is obviously a play on the movie The Color Of Money. The novels are generally full of puns and incongruous references to cultural phenomena, particularly British cultural phenomena. As an example, this novel contains a reference to a British TV ad for Ferrero Rocher chocolates which must be incomprehensible to non-Brits, never mind people who don't have English as a first language. --80.176.142.11 (talk) 23:47, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
