[edit] Melvyn Rubenfire
Wikipedia policy is generally not to use honorifics in article titles, but just the person's name. I think there are exceptions for nobility. But we don't have article titles such as General John Smith or Senator Mary Jones, just their names. The exception would be if there is more than one person with the same name, in which the honorific might be used to disambiguate that person from somebody else with the same name.

- It got fixed, no problem. It wsn't an annoyance, just something that needed to get fixed. :) Corvus cornix 21:31, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Articles
The article needed a lot of work to be readable. I have no issues with the subject's notability. In fact, I am so certain that the subject is notable enough to have a decent article on Wikipedia, that I have asked one of our most competent editors to work on the article to bring it up to snuff.
I did ask in the edit summary if this was an older hospital, but, because you left no information for the reader to go on, I linked it to the current one. It should be linked to the major medical center, regardless.
Honorofics don't belong in articles--they simply make it look poorly written, as if someone did not care enough about the person to write the articel using correct style, or as if the article does not belong in Wikipedia.
Fellowships are awarded after residencies, and are very important designations of a medical doctor's training towards his speciality, they deserve to be mentioned in their proper place, where I put them.
If you can't be bothered to even read the corrections, don't come screaming on my talk page about them.
The article was very poorly written, your grandfather deserves better.
Please sign your posts by putting 4 tildas at the ends of the post. KP Botany 22:38, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Tildas are the marks that look like wavey dashes "~" that are usually found on a keyboard to the left of the 1 and ! key. I want to see how Sinai connects directly to Sinai-Grace, so we can, if possible, link it. Don't worry about the article too much, your grandfather is clearly a notable American physician who can have a nice biography on Wikipedia. I have asked another editor who worked very well on an article about an African cardiovascular surgeon to spend some time on this article. It will take a while to get proper sources, but it will ultimately be a nice looking article.
I realize you are new, and I apologize, also, for forgetting how tough Wikipedia can be when you are new. One of my grandfather's is also very famous, and I love seeing stuff about him on the Internet. But there's a lot of misinformation about him on out there, and I don't like seeing that.
The article will be just fine, but give Acalamari enough time with it. Acalamari will get the correct information on the Sinai/Sinai-Grace. KP Botany 22:59, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Here's a before and after shot of the last cardiac surgeon that Acalamari worked on (with help from others):

- Yes, you got the tildas right. And, yes, that's the best thing about Wikipedia: I write like crap and people with fantastic editing skills come by after me and edit everything I write to make it look fabulous. I still can't believe it. Hell, I want to take them to work with me, but they swear they only exist in cyber-space.
- Yes, if the article belongs on Wikipedia, other editors will make it look nice. KP Botany 23:07, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
