Talk:Denturist

message: 13/05/18 Added a brief definition and table which is going to contain individual definitions of denturism for each of the specified countries. Nazareth13 (talk) 22:07, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: 15/05/18 Elaborated on the definition and added additional information on the licensing and legislations. Table idea was scraped as it seemed unnecessary. Referencing still needs to be done for the whole section. Nazareth13 (talk) 00:24, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: 16/05/18 Added references to support the information. Referenced in Vancouver. Deleted the 'Denturism' section which was situated below the 'Definitions' section as majority of that information was covered in the 'Definitions' section. Nazareth13 (talk) 19:26, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Do you think it would be beneficial to add in the definitions of dental technicians and prosthodontists, just to clarify how those professions differ? There is a definition under the "Distinguishing from dental technician" heading that may be helpful. 18961102ZD (talk) 01:24, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: 1. Definitions (Naz) <br />

message: 30/4/18: Edited History section. Included subsections 
- History of dentures 
- Legal recognition of denturism 
- International Federation of Denturists 
Should International Federation of Denturists fit better under another heading?
: It could possibly fit under either the training in different countries or licensing in different countries, but we can always move it at the end, once we finalise the other headings. Also, I noticed you were referring to the earlier versions of dentures, do you think pictures would be helpful (just to add some visual aids?)18961102ZD (talk) 04:25, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi. Thanks for the article. I am a denturist working in Finland, so you can add Finland to the list :) Markus 2001:14BA:6673:E300:11A2:40B1:F84D:BE1F (talk) 09:35, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

text: The chosen countries were already on the existing Wikipedia page, which is why we chose to continue with them. If you have found more, you can always add in other countries. 18961102ZD (talk) 04:16, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: 4. Scope of Practice in different countries (Navid) <br />

message: Do you think it would be easier to understand if I list all the training degrees under different headings, or if I put them in a table according to different regions? Also, which regions do we need to cover? On the page it covers UK, US and Australia, do we need additional regions? 18961102ZD (talk) 04:28, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it might be worth including Canada as well. http://www.denturist.org/about.html Sheryabdelmalak (talk) 02:07, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Okay, will include Canada as well. 18961102ZD (talk) 04:26, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I will add on the courses for UK, US and Canada in a table too. Also, how do we reference? 18961102ZD (talk) 05:20, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  I really like the way you've set it up, makes it really easy to read. To reference, it says "cite your sources" on the bottom right of the editing page. Click on that then paste your reference in between the two "<ref> symbols that come up. Sheryabdelmalak (talk) 06:27, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Getting the "Denturist" qualification in the US is different from all the other countries. They require a degree in Dental Laboratory Technology before sitting an exam to qualify as a denturist. So should I just list all the universities that offer the Dental Laboratory Technology course and then just make a note to say that further examinations are required? 18961102ZD (talk) 06:08, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sounds good. I think a note at the end of the US section should be more than enough. 149.144.112.57 (talk) 22:08, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

text: Thank you. This is really helpful! With regards to referencing, should we use the Vancouver style of referencing since the page is already set up that way? 18961102ZD (talk) 22:57, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes I think we should stick with Vancouver as it would make things more practical. Nazareth13 (talk) 19:29, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
