[edit] Postgraduate education
-
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.
- Please provide a citation for your claims. I've never heard postgraduate education referred to as "quaternary education". That's not to say that it mightn't be, but it needs a citation. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:20, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
(1) Sarcasm is not neccessary, thanks ;-) (2) Do a simple search on Google, and check out my comments on the talk page Thanks Helzagood 22:48, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
- Er, where was the sarcasm? More importantly, it's up to the person making a claim to provide citations for it, not those who dispute it. I've responded to your other comments at Talk:Postgraduate education. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:28, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
(1) The sarcasm lies in you saying "there is a little field named...." if that is not sarcasm, I don't know what is. Everyone should know that there is such an entry field, if you had simply asked me to use it, it wouldn't been an issue, but to be so rude is not neccessary.
(2) You quote your experience in higher education as evidence of your point, truth is, you have experience in only one institution as far as your user page suggests. I have worked in several HE colleges and universities accross the UK, for several decades and have come accross the term "quaternary education". I do not claim that the term is popular, as I even stated in my edit to the article, but it is used. Moreover, just because the term is not generally used by the public does not mean it is not encyclopaedic - the names of computer programming languages are not generally used or known to the public, but they feature quite heavily in wikipedia.

- The wording is the standard Wikipedia template {{summary}}. I think that you're being rather over-sensitive. If you still insist that it's sarcastic and rude, I suggest that you take this up at Template talk:Summary.
- I have experience in seven universities, but that's not the point (unless you think that one's knowledge is limited to what is said in one's own place of work). The point is, as I keep stressing, Wikipedia policy about citation. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 12:48, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
