Talk:Main Page/Archive 1

There was a problem creating new pages earlier today/yesterday depending on your locale.

This seems to be resolved now. --Peter Hitchmough 08:39, 23 October 2006 (CDT)

I would like to discuss the heading "health sciences" on the main page. I clicked it, and was flummoxed. As far as I know, there is no such thing as "Health Science"as described. There is health care- that includes traditional medicine and such, but that's not science. Health Care deserves an article but I am too ignorant to know how to change the heading. I posted my confusion here instead of editing the article and discussing it there because I did not want to inadvertantly add it to CZ (which I maintain would be better called Z for Zendium and still could be the Citizens' Compendium, by the way.) Help! Nancy Sculerati

Just to make you happy :-) I just registered zendium.org (it appears the .com and .net variants are Danish tooth products--that's plausible). Maybe we will go with your variant, eventually anyway...

Presumably there are important enough differences between the topics "health care," a set of practices, and "health sciences" (or "medicine"), an area of study and research, to warrant different articles. Or did you mean to deny that? I mean, I will not gainsay you if you do wish to deny it. The list of topics on the front page is a list of disciplines, and "health care" per se doesn't name a discipline.

P.S. Dr. Sculerati, please see medicine as well.
