Spam

Misplaced Pages is not a collection of links or an opportunity for advertising your favorite organizations, academic journals, or graduate school programs. I have therefore deleted all of this non-encyclopedic information. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:33, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

The information deleted helps define the subject matter. We should not vandalize Wiki entries under the rubric of combating spam. There is plenty of real spam to combat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.249.65.232 (talk) 22:24, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
How does the list of "other periodicals" that OHP practitioners like to read, and the (incomplete) list of places to study OHP contribute to the encyclopedic nature of the article? Do you really think that the general reader will be unable to understand what OHP is, without a partial list of universities that offer advanced degrees on the topic?
Also, please note that these sorts of lists are expressly rejected by Misplaced Pages's guidelines. WhatamIdoing (talk) 01:15, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

External links again

Iss246,

Here's the relevant rule:

"External links should not normally be used in the body of an article."

When I look at the second and third paragraph of the article, I see a whole lot of external links used in the body of the article. I assume that you also see a whole lot of external links used in the body of the article. Having any external links like these in the body of the article is not appropriate by Misplaced Pages's style and content guidelines.

Therefore, this needs to be fixed. You have repeatedly objected to my efforts to improve the situation. How do you propose to make this article comply with the necessary guidelines? WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:55, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
