Recent edit on a 'lung cancer pill'
[edit]Hi, I reverted the following edit so that we can work together to ensure the source and material meets Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine). Here is the edit: "According to a study for which results were presented at American Society of Clinical Ontology (ASCO), the patients who underwent removal of their tumors and subsequently took a specific drug on daily basis experienced a remarkable reduction in almost 51 percent of death risks.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lung Cancer Pill Reduces the Death Risk to Half: Clinical Trial Shows |url=https://www.gcatglance.com/2023/06/lung-cancer-pill-reduces-death-risk-to-half.html |access-date=2023-06-05}}</ref>" JenOttawa (talk) 13:19, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
- Probably not, even news orgs such as BBC are not considered reliable for medical information. Besides, according to WP:MEDRES, single medical studies are almost never reliable. Ca talk to me! 00:45, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
Semi-Protection Request
[edit]So Wikipedia has numerous articles already converting to a semi-protective format and this one, containing sensitive topics, should be no exception. 172.74.203.83 (talk) 13:40, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
- IP 172, the page has been semi-protected for the next day. For the future, the place to request protection is WP:RFPP. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:07, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
Source query
[edit]Ajpolino can you check these citations? I thought it odd that the page ranges on the two are identical, and wonder if that's a typo?
