Talk:Activator technique
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an open request for an explanation as to how the "activator technique" works. It is not a request for personal claims of effectiveness or how it to be used or who invented it or how it's validity is measured by how many Chiro's use it. Simply: How does it work? "It moves tissues to their normal position" is not an explanation.
Be clear. Be precise. I look forward to lucid responses.
- I'm not sure what your point is? WP:TALK explains how talk pages are supposed to be used. They certainly are not to be used as an open forum. How it does or doesn't work doesn't matter. What matters is what is WP:V that is verifiable by citation. --Anthon01 (talk) 16:54, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
I see. I had assumed this was where actual verification could be hashed out prior to addition to the actual page in question. So I guess it is a request for citation/verification. This is my first attempt at this. I will adapt.160.94.59.3 (talk)flargnog dec14 2007 —Preceding comment was added at 18:27, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
- There is nothing in the article page that isn't verifiable. If you disagree then quote the text and paste it here. Then explain why you don't agree with it. Anthon01 (talk) 18:42, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm beginning to catch on. I am not to question or debate the validity of a device just the validity of the actual textual entries....correct? 160.94.59.3 (talk)flargnog Dec17 —Preceding comment was added at 16:18, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- Precisely. That's all we can do here at Wikipedia. -- Levine2112 discuss 22:38, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- Precisely. You can add text if your want but you need to have citations to support the text, especially if your text is provacative and likely to draw demands of proof from other wikipedians. The goal is to add verifiable text (WP:V) from reliable sources (WP:RS) written from a neutral point of view (WP:POV). For instance, you may want to add text that perhaps debunks "Activator Technique." Perhaps you are not sure of how to word it or of the value of the source you are quoting. The syntax and/or the value of the source could be 'worked on' with input from other wikipedians, on this page before adding it to the article. Sometimes it is done that way on contentious pages, as many alt-med pages are. Anthon01 (talk) 23:35, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
So now there is an ADVERTISEMENT on the page linking to a for profit page that still has nothing on it about how it actually works??? I looked hard and long...same fluff.Flargnog (talk)flargnog dec20 07 —Preceding comment was added at 20:50, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. I removed the advertisement. -- Levine2112 discuss 22:38, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
