Reminds me of the infamous fake certificate with "verify" spelt wrong... 2.98.65.8 21:47, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

It seems like my summary got added on top of the other one somehow. I don't know if anyone wants to try to merge them... 136.47.216.1 22:04, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

Here are some famous state university that do not have the state in their name: Kent State U., Adams State U., Athens State U., Jacksonville State U..

Feels like a similar theme to 2756: Qualifications. KelOfTheStars! (talk) 14:40, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

And ibm_hc_2. Maybe we should make a 'forgery' category. --DollarStoreBa'al^converse 14:45, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

If Randall really wanted that pun, might he not have made the degree in Document Doctoring? Barmar (talk) 14:57, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

'Doctoring' implies taking something that means something and (fraudulently) changing it. 'Forging' more definitely includes conjouring it up from just base materials.

Though I'm not convinced it's intended to ezsentially be a "doctorate of doctoring" (in the non-medical sense), I could see it being an oblique related-pun as suggested, or at least noteworthy that there's a happy unanticipated coincidence spotted by us. 82.132.237.69 15:36, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

Is "Philosophy" a catch-all in the USA? Since doctoring a document looks more like an engineering/physics thing to me. 2A02:2455:1960:4000:2146:6F26:4294:2A6A 08:12, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

In both the UK and the USA, Doctor of Philosophy is a thing across the whole range of academic subjects. The term 'Philosophy' doesn't refer to the narrow sense in which it's mostly used today, but its original sense of wisdom / love of knowledge (the sense in which 'Natural Philosophy' used to be used to refer to the natural sciences). In any case, though, forgery clearly belongs within the Art department. 82.13.184.33 09:52, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

Huh. So PhD is actually short for 'Philosophy Doctor'? Cool! --DollarStoreBa'al^converse 14:02, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

Technically it's short for Philosophiae Doctor, as opposed to Medicinae Doctor (M.D. i.e. Doctor of Medicine) and Juris Doctor (J.D. i.e. Doctor of Jurisprudence/Law) or Legum Doctor (LL.D. i.e. Doctor of Laws). DL Draco Rex (talk) 17:10, 29 October 2025 (UTC)
