Protection

Wiggl, I don't think we should have the page fully protected. The vandals are almost definitely the same person and all the edits are reverted at the very most, a day later. I think we should just semi-protect it (stop IPs editing) and if somehow the user makes another account, we can ask the wikia staff how to stop them once and for all.-2Anthony4 (Page me!)18:37, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I've done it that way - protected against new and unregistered users for 1 month. It may appear as full protection, but I definitely set it for against new and unregistered users. --Wiggl 18:53, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Right sorry, I just assumed because it didn't say semi-protected (although thankfully the list of protected pages on the special pages does).-2Anthony4 (Page me!)18:59, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Medical School

So I don't think the show has ever stated where Meredith went to medical school. I know it's stated numerous times that she went to Dartmouth, but that's for her undergraduate program. The reason why is because in season 3, when she drowned, Derek said she should know how to swim because she went to Dartmouth, and Dartmouth is one of the few schools that require their undergraduates to pass a swim-test in order to matriculate. Thoughts?

• I don't think he says she knows how to swim because of that. He just says that she knows how to swim, that she's a strong swimmer. But you're right. It's not specified if Dartmouth was for medical school or not. Nerdfightergirl (talk) 11:24, August 9, 2013 (UTC)

• You're right. I just re-watched the episode today and when he told Addison, he doesn't mention Dartmouth. I just know that one of Dartmouth's requirement to graduate is a swim test, and it gave more evidence that Dartmouth was her undergraduate studies instead of her medical education.

One of many ambiguous points on the show. It suggests that, but doesn't confirm it, so we can say definitively either way. Nerdfightergirl (talk) 11:40, August 9, 2013 (UTC)

• Also, Meredith's Darmouth College T-Shirt is the T-Shirt of the University, not the medical school. So... I think we're safe in stating that Meredith went to Darmouth as an undergraduate and leave her medical school unknown until the show presents it. A C E^{(CONT•WALL)} 11:50, August 9, 2013 (UTC)

Lexie's Favorite Color

Is the scrub cap being purple because of Lexie actually canon? I don't remember this ever being referenced. Nerdfightergirl (talk) 22:17, August 9, 2013 (UTC)

• I don't remember this either. I'm going back through old episodes but I don't think so. Also there's one on Alex Karev's page which I don't believe is canon as well.

• Additionally, whether or not that is Lexie's favorite color, having that as the reason why Meredith's scrub cap is purple is not canon.

• Yeah, I'm going through all the edits that user made and there are a lot of errors. Nerdfightergirl (talk) 22:21, August 9, 2013 (UTC)
• Shonda Rhimes said that the scrub cap is purple because it was her favourite color. Luya01 (talk) 08:01, October 6, 2013 (UTC)
• By her, you mean Ellen Pompeo right? Tooniee (talk) 08:22, October 6, 2013 (UTC)

• • Can you link to a credible source which says that, Luya? Nerdfightergirl (talk) 14:11, October 6, 2013 (UTC)
  • I found a tweet of Shonda. Someone asked why Mer's scrub cap was just plain purple while the others had patterns. Shonda replied that the actors get to choose their own scrub cap, and it's the one Ellen choose. If the story about Lexie's favourite color had been true, I think she would've mentioned it in her tweet. Tooniee (talk) 15:51, October 6, 2013 (UTC)

• • Okay, cool. That settles it then. Nerdfightergirl (talk) 15:57, October 6, 2013 (UTC)
  • Oh okay. Sorry. I don't quite remember where I read it. Well, maybe I'll find it again.
