I changed the box on the right to also mention the divorce after reading something about this quickly on the help desk page, and it looks like it was already changed in the rest of the article so making the box on the right consistent. - KaJunl ( talk) 19:33, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
Hello Jytdog!, you undid my recent edits to the article with an edit summary "you actually added a bunch of unsourced content. Not OK". Can you please explain a bit because in my opinion you actually did by reverting my edit, like, he has a major in "anthropology"? If I do not receive a reply within a reasonable period of time, I'll restore it back to mine last edit (provided that no one else edits the article in the meanwhile). Thank you!

I'm entirely unsure if sourced basic biographical details should be perceived as "promotional" (for example, "
magna cum laude" being a member of "
Phi Beta Kappa Society", MD honors as a member of "
Alpha Omega Alpha". These are notable societies, subject was a member of and this is why should be included. And,
MD is an ambiguous term to refer a qualification, it should be "MD honors" in present case.) We allow these basic details even being cross-referenced to subject's official website per ABOUTSELF. The available sources are way better than that.
What actually sounds promotional to me is, book details that you added, and read as, "Dr. Travis Stork's STAT Program to Help You Lose Weight, Restore Optimal Health, Prevent Disease, and Add Years to Your Life., Tasty Meals for a Lifetime of Vibrant Health and Weight Loss Maintenance, The Fast and Foolproof Diet and Weight-loss Plan from America's Top Urgent-care Doctor". These are unwarranted details for non-notable books and could be rope into one single sentence, that subject authored three books, 1, 2, and 3. Or just remove these promo wordings.

You just gave me a good laugh, thank you. I'm not sure if it is an attempt to divert discussion. I can ask your help later to fix my behavioral problems. For now, I would like to stick to discuss what this thread is made for.
Firstly, "
honors" is a term that denotes type of educational qualification. There are Bachelor degrees and Bachelor degree with honors, Master Degree and Master degree with honors. So by adding "honors" here, I'm only being more factual and accurate (as I previously said, MD is an ambiguous term, it actually represents three type of qualification; "honors" being one of them). We have source that make distinction, and helps to add accurate information. That's why I did add that.
And two societies that subject was a member of, are notable societies and is a rare achievement and well sourced and because we are an encyclopedia, we must also add that information. I hope it answers you concerns, for more details you may visit respective wiki articles (
Phi Beta Kappa Society,
Alpha Omega Alpha).
Next, I feel that details about "The Doctors" unrelated to Dr. Stork, should be moved to "
The Doctors" article. We should only add here what is relevant to Dr. Stork. I hope you can answer, why these contents should stay in this article?

I have removed the statement about the medical accuracy on the show as I could find nothing in the source that stated that the individuals advice was invalid. If someone presents evidence a system is corrupt we cant make unsubstantiated claims about an individual in that organisation being corrupt without suitable evidence. I'd suggest taking this issue to the BLP noticeboard. Amortias ( T)( C) 23:26, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
The article is kinda sparse. I'm not sure how reliable this source is, but at least it lists his specific date of birth (March 9, 1972), along with a few miscellaneous personal details.

This: "2014 study in the British Medical Journal determined" -- It is inappropriate to include that detail in his biographical entry here. However accurate or inaccurate it may be, this isn't about him. It's a broad statement that does not apply to him specifically. If someone can find a detail about this that applies directly to him, then that's appropriate. It looks like a sloppy attempt to balance whatever controversy might be perceived in him. But it's so broad that it applies to many more people than him, and as such it really belongs in a separate article on TV doctors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.178.228.126 ( talk) 20:18, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Travis Lane Stork → Travis Stork – WP:COMMONNAME, sources almost universally refer to the subject as Travis Stork, not by his full name. I'm honestly surprised that it wasn't under the common name prior, given its conciseness. JeffSpaceman ( talk) 22:38, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
