Hello, I'm SkepticalRaptor. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Talk:Burzynski Clinic, because it seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Talk:Burzynski Clinic
Hello Didymus Judas Thomas, as a courtesy I have changed the layout of your request at that talk page. In the future please do so yourself (using the "Show preview" button is also a good idea). Your layout doesn't need to be perfect, but the least you can do is to use paragraphs. Even formatted properly, your comment is still bulky and pretty much tl;dr. I don't have enough time right now to properly comment on it, but I'll take some time tonight and answer at the article talk. I can tell you right now, however, that pretty much every source with an url that contains "wordpress" or "blogspot" probably won't be usable per our sourcing policy. --Six words (talk) 13:17, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
- It would really help if you read WP:MEDRS and only suggest secondary sources from now on - it's quite tiring to go through all the sources you suggest and see that they're primary sources, mostly decades old and/or tests on cell lines and uncontrolled tests on <10 patients, where "antineoplastons" are used in addition to surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. We're all volunteers here, you cannot throw every source that mentions Burzynski or antineoplastons at us in the hope that something will stick - make sure they're the quality that is expected, or other wikipedians will stop bothering to look at these sources (I know I surely will). --Six words (talk) 11:33, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
- Six words, Thank you for the helpful hints!Didymus Judas Thomas (talk) 08:05, 18 December 2012 (UTC)Didymus Judas Thomas 12/18/12
Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button 
or 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 14:22, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
Please refrain from making test edits in Misplaced Pages pages, such as those you made to Burzynski Clinic with this edit, even if you intend to fix them later. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Lugia2453 (talk) 22:51, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Burzynski Clinic. While Misplaced Pages welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. The edit in question is: JoeSperrazza (talk) 19:48, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
- JoeSperrazzal. Thank you for your comment but I was just going by what's on Cancer . gov: "Nonrandomized clinical trials investigating the anticancer efficacy of antineoplastons are underway at the developer’s institute." so I didn't see it as an opinion.Didymus Judas Thomas (talk) 09:04, 18 December 2012 (UTC)Didymus Judas Thomas 12/18/12
- What they mean is that nobody else is doing any meaningful work on it, which necessarily means that it's not considered in the least promising. Guy (Help!) 21:54, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
- JzGIGuy, I'm not sure what relevance your above post has since Japan, China, & Egypt has done Antineoplaston research; including 2009, so it would be premature to state they are not doing further research; as Japan has done Phase I Clinical Trials successfully, & it takes millions of dollars & finding enough patients with a specific cancer in order to conduct Phase III Clinical Trials. Thank you very much.Didymus Judas Thomas (talk) 22:19, 25 December 2012 (UTC)Didymus Judas Thomas 12/25/2012
- The consensus of independent observers (including Cancer Research UK, the American Cancer Society and experts at MSKCC, Mayo and so on, is that ANP is primarily being investigated by Burzynski, that the investigations are not being pursued in a scientifically rigorous way, and that it is not a particularly hopeful line of inquiry. This is unlikely to change without Burzynski publishing some compelling results from the 60 Phase 2 trials he has registered. Not one of these trials has been published. The problem is not with Misplaced Pages, it's with Burzynski. Guy (Help!) 12:40, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

All editors are required to comply with Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible. If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. For information on how to contribute to Misplaced Pages when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations.
