Ref.: SuggestBot: This was a rewarding and interesting experience. Thanks for sending it! I'm game for another go .... I'm sorry it's taken a long time but I was also following my own editing agenda meanwhile. I hope the feedback is useful.Ballista 06:31, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Here is my feedback on Articles suggested by SuggestBot:
(Where it says 'done', it doesn't necessarily mean I've shot my bolt - more a matter of doing as much as I can at the moment Ballista 06:31, 10 May 2006 (UTC))
Ear candling (this appears to be tainted with POV – as with so many other ‘alternative therapies’, what is needed is a basic, objective, non-POV rewrite)
Saab Sonett IV (I’ve voted for it to merge [on both pp])(since merged by consensus with User:Liftarn)
Proof (rapper) (article locked by 15th April 2006) Later opened OK but (out of my field of expertise/knowledge/understanding)
Entamoeba histolytica (I’ve voted for it to merge) (I later added arguments for two articles, with clear areas of coverage)
Add Sources
Classical homeopathy (I put a ‘propose merge’ tag on it & a discussion entry – however, this homeopathy issue is totally poisoned with POV (both ‘sides’). Is there no way to retrieve what appears currently to be a hopeless situation? I think a total re-write is necessary. However, it can’t work if there is intentional sabotage. I've made the offer twice on the talk page)
Volvo Cars (I looked at this in May – am I now too late, as it has ‘external links’?)
Homeopathic proving (added sources)(I haven't suggested merger with homeopathy, as it appears to have missed the POV ping-pong thus far!)
Wikify
Marita Liulia (looked at it May 2006 – already done but still tagged?)
Therapeutic touch - generally too much POV ping-pong going on, in 'alternative medicine' articles, for there to be worthwhile and constructive addition - this article is spoilt by large 'pseudoscience' section, which appears to denigrate rather than observe
Complementary and alternative medicine - I'm not able to resolve the heated 'debates that are spoiling WP's 'alternative medicine' pages - POV is taking over from objective accounts
Add Sources
Vertebral subluxation - already (August 2006) appears to have been referenced & expanded lots
Gastrolith - edited - it already appears to have been 'referenced' (by August 2006)
