User talk:SandyGeorgia/Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/RFC on medical disclaimer

Sandy—in the second template, I think "substitute" can't be a transitive verb. "The information provided here cannot substitute for the advice of a medical professional." Cannot be subsituted for would work. Or make it a noun: "is no substitute for", which has a slightly commercial ring about it, but I can't think of anything better at the moment.

Thanks, Tony-- eek, I copied that from somewhere without checking the text! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:22, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Both rather meek

I'd suggest something free of doubt. Perhaps: "All Wikipedia articles contain errors. Please do not bet your health on them. See a professional." LeadSongDog come howl! 14:45, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, LeadSongDog, but I put up these versions after about a month of discussion at WT:MED and Alanyst's talk ... if we are unsure of the versions to propose, we should have more discussion there before launching an RFC. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:29, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
