[Cz-editcouncil] CZ Editorial Council Resolution 0013 MedPedia's disclaimer

[Anthony Sebastian]

It might help to look at MedPedia's disclaimer's wording:

 


"The Information on Medpedia is not Medical Advice"


"MEDPEDIA DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE. The information on Medpedia,
including text, images, video, graphics, member communications and other
information, whether provided by Medpedia or by its members ("Members")
(collectively, the "Content"), does not constitute medical advice of any
kind, and is not intended to be, and should not be, used to diagnose or
identify treatment for a medical condition. The Content should never be used
in place of the advice of your physician or other medical professional, and
your use of the Medpedia Service indicates your agreement not to do so.

"Medpedia is intended as an educational resource for you to begin learning
about health issues. If you are a patient or suspect that you are suffering
from a medical condition, see your doctor for medical advice and diagnosis.
If you are affected by any potential health or medical emergency, call your
local emergency service immediately. Medpedia does not recommend or endorse
any treatment, institution, product, professional, physician, procedure or
other information that may be mentioned on Medpedia. By using the Medpedia
Service, you understand and agree that the Content is written and monitored
in a collaborative effort by a large community of people that are neither
employees of Medpedia nor controlled by Medpedia and the Content is
constantly changing. Medpedia does not validate or otherwise endorse the
Content, nor does it validate the credentials of the people contributing to
the Site. The Content is provided "as is" and without any representations or
warranties of any kind."

Point of order: on the Proposals System page that contains the text of the
disclaimer, there is now a "proposed amendment."  Which is the text that is
up for consideration by Council?  Could we have a definitive declaration
about that?

 

I'm not authorized to make any definitive declaration about that myself, but
fwiw, I am inclined to say, strictly for reasons of procedural clarity, that
it is the text that first appears, not the amended text.  All amendments
must be duly proposed, i.e., here on cz-editcouncil, and approved.

 

Any Council member has the right to propose an amendment of any sort.  Go
ahead.  Please don't complain, after we start voting, that we ignored all
the amendments that were proposed on the Proposals System page...

 

By the way, such matters of procedural clarity are why I think the full text
of a resolution should appear on a subpage of [[CZ:Editorial Council]] and
no where else--not Proposals System pages that are, as they should be, easy
to change.  Think of Proposals System pages as rough drafts.
