Wikipedia may not be used for promotion of any kind. For that reason, there are very strong restrictions on adding external links to articles, except where they are to reliable published (and preferably independent) sources to substantiate facts in an article. Please see External links for more information. --ColinFine (talk) 11:36, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Image help, please[edit]

There's a lot I know about editing Wikipedia, but I'm pants at images. Can someone please help me with the images I just added at Walls of Benin. I know there are several sizes available for the 17th century image. I don't really care what's done so long as it looks ok. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doug Weller (talkcontribs) 15:04, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Doug Weller: I've move them into a 'gallery' format. You can tweak the sizes etc. (Or undo it altogether if you don't like it!) Cheers. Eagleash (talk) 15:28, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's great, thanks. Just what I wanted. Doug Weller talk 16:41, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The page on Acupuncture is horribly misleading and biased, as it bases it's outlandish claims on completely inconclusive research.[edit]

Hey, I was wondering why the page on Acupuncture has such a terribly biased view, as a good number of the attached sources have nothing to do with some of the outlandish claims they made as early as the first three sentences of the article.

"Acupuncture[note 1] is a form of alternative medicine[2] in which thin needles are inserted into the body.[3] It is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). TCM theory and practice are not based upon scientific knowledge,[4] and acupuncture is a pseudoscience.[5][6] "

The World Health Organization clearly lists 28 disorders for which acupuncture has been proven to be an effective treatment and over 68 others for which a therapeutic effect is recorded but further proof would be needed. To outright claim that it is a pseudoscience misleads the American public entirely. It reads like propaganda and needs to be re-written by someone more competent (not necessarily saying me, but it can't be left like this.)

The place for discussing the article Acupuncture is on its talk page, Talk:Acupuncture. Please read the warnings there. --David Biddulph (talk) 17:22, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
