[edit]Stuff that has been brought to #wikipedia-en-help connect for being false:
- She's a doctor
- She didn't get her masters at ICO
- She only has one masters

- @Josve05a: First of all, read the source again:
Susan Cotter O.D., M.S. received her doctor of optometry degree in 1983 from the Illinois College of Optometry, completed a residency in Children’s Vision at the Southern California College of Optometry (SCCO) in 1984, and received a M.S. degree in Clinical and Biomedical Investigations from the University of Southern California (USC) Keck School of Medicine in 2006
- Obviously it means master's in optometry. Second, even if Barack Obama will want his article to be deleted we as Wikipedians are not deleting anything simply because one person doesn't like the information on him/her. Third, the primary source indicates that she is a former chair woman of the American Academy of Optometry a notability guideline which is covered by the WP:Academics #6. Fourth, if that's not enough I can speak to user @Randykitty: and maybe he will see if she is notable.--Mishae (talk) 22:40, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
- Personally I find the claim that "doctor of optometry", abbreviated as "O.D.", would mean either "master's in optometry" or "Ph.D." outright bizarre. Going by that source, Cotter holds one master's degree, the M.S. she earned in 2006. She also holds a doctoral degree, the doctor of optometry (O.D.) she earned in 1983. Anything else is pure guesswork of the kind we (rightly!) received a complaint about. I'll fix the article so it's in line with what the source actually says.
