Talk:Homeopathy proponents jailed for allowing daughter to die

Background information
What purpose does the big-ass bolded background information section on this article serve that a link to the appropriate Wikipedia article does not?

Wikinews works with sections Related news, Sources, and External links. --Brian McNeil / talk 18:24, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

In the last article on this, the background links got removed, at which point people immediately began to change the text to remove the mainstream medical view, which they claimed was unsourced, because someone had removed said sources. These are basically the sources backing the short discussion at the end. That said, I don't see why it's necessary to split the news sources from the other sources.

 * I've just ripped out most of them again. This time because I can't read them without paying for them. And the citation template you've used has obviously been beaten with the ugly stick. --Brian McNeil / talk 18:46, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thinking about this more, I suspect it would be an ideal opportunity to take advantage of Wikinews' original reporting policy. Phone the nearest medical school and ask one of the senior staff for their considered opinion on homeopathy. I won't tell you to encourage them to really stick the knife in and call it 'utter bullshit', but... --Brian McNeil / talk 18:59, 30 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Another point to add based on the edits I made. You don't need to list sources from a previous story, if the previous story is listed in the related news section. The related story can be considered a source in such cases - which has distinct advantages when you consider that a lot of news sites take down stories after they're a few weeks or months old. --Brian McNeil / talk 19:03, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Now that we have one external link formatted appropriately, that supports the claims made in the article, I figure it wouldn't do any harm to re-flag this for review. Den dodge  T\C (en.wp) 19:39, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
