responsible use of tags...[edit]

Another contributor added a {{Original research}} tag. They offered the edit summary: "Medical records: Yes it is the OR tag - because these interpretation are not in the source - '...were below the minimum healthy weight for his height...'... Not in the source at all"

May I point out that the instantiation of that tag says:

"This section may contain original research or unverified claims. Please improve the article by adding references. See the talk page for details. (August 2009)"

The edit summary is not the talk page. Interested readers who look to the talk page aren't going to read this contributor's edit summary comments.

I urge this contributor to actually read the text instantiated when he or she applies a tag, and to comply with the obligations incurred by their use of those tags. Geo Swan (talk) 07:47, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No explanation being offered I have removed the tag. Geo Swan (talk) 17:49, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

explanation...[edit]

The image that i have removed from the article violates the basic rules of Wikipedia. It is the own work of a Wikipedia editor who took a primary source combined it with other sources and then interpreted it in the image description. This is a violation of WP:OR. The fact that these are mostly primary sources has also further problems as it does not comply with the policies of BLP's of living people. So i see this topic as taken to the talk page and the image should not be re-included until consensus has been reached. IQinn (talk) 08:06, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
