Wikipedia talk:Medical disclaimer

message: Bad grammar; please fix!  The phrase "any of the articles" must be treated as a singular subject.  Replace "are" with "is" as shown below.
This:  
:"however, no warranty whatsoever is made that any of the articles are accurate."
must be changed to this:  
:"however, no warranty whatsoever is made that any of the articles is accurate."
Thank you,

replies: text: Note: It is correct in its current form based on its associations.  It is singular in relationship to "warranty" which is why it is "no warranty whatsoever is mad that any of the articles" - it is plural in regards to "accurate" which is why it is "any of the articles are accurate."  I will say that "whatsoever" doesn't add anything to the value of the sentence and should be removed to any admin that reviews this request. —  (e • t • c) 19:22, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  My gut feeling was to decline this request last night when I noticed it on my watchlist, but I couldn't put my finger on why ... "any of the articles is accurate" just didn't sound right to me. I've therefore declined this request thanks to your comments, , but have removed "whatsoever" from the sentence as suggested.

::Firstly, it asks about a "policy" when the real targets are an editing guideline that only applies to the Reference Desks, an essay in userspace, and a template that cites no policies. 
::Secondly, it only allows two choices -- deprecating or maintaining Wikipedia:Medical disclaimer -- and does not ask to, say, turn Wikipedia:Reference desk/Guidelines/Medical advice into a supplemental essay such as WP:BRD, WP:CHILD, WP:CREEP, or WP:BPCOI. Another option that was not presented for a !vote is to create an actual policy (policy, not disclaimer) on this that applies to all of Wikipedia.
::I don't think a single person wants to deprecate Wikipedia:Medical disclaimer, nor do I think that there has ever been even a tiny consensus against it, but I also don't think that the forgone conclusion of this RfC will in any way address a single problem on the Reference Desks. --Guy Macon (talk) 21:30, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

message: Please add an explicit warning of serious injury or death in the event that bad information is used, and a notice to always verify such information. Something like "Use of incorrect information provided by Wikipedia to resolve a medical problem or emergency may result in serious injury or death. Always verify information found on Wikipedia before applying it."

replies: text: at the very least this would need more discussion.  Suggesting that following an article could result in something (even something negative and as a warning) still seems to offering a medical opinion - which we do not do at all. — xaosflux Talk 14:30, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:   I still think it would be a good change (and would like to see the community's input), but I don't know what venue to discuss it in (as you said, it would need more discussion). EDIT: I just realized RFC provides such a venue. I'll open one here. ☢️Plutonical☢️ᶜᵒᵐᵐᵘⁿᶦᶜᵃᵗᶦᵒⁿˢ 14:40, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  this page is the appropriate location, but at the least needs some advertisement for inputs - WP:VP and WT:MED would be good places to solicit input. — xaosflux Talk 14:50, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

Pinging  as he is involved and should probably put his two cents into this RFC.
An administrator has rejected it as at the very least needing more discussion, and I would like to see what the community thinks. Basically, I think a warning of injury or death, as well as a notice to check any information from the site before applying it. ☢️Plutonical☢️ᶜᵒᵐᵐᵘⁿᶦᶜᵃᵗᶦᵒⁿˢ 14:53, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
