This page is heavily biased, and appears to be written by someone Accuray hired to advertise their machine. The page fails to mention two of the major competitor machines (Varian's Trilogy and Elekta's Synergy). The Linac based radiosurgery machines can not only deliver a comparable treatment, but likely would do so in significantly less time. Also, the Trilogy or Synergy can also be used as conventional linear accelerators. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.61.62.26 (talk • contribs)

I believe this exact same article was deleted a month or two ago; now it is back, and I don't notice any substantial edits. The Cyberknife is a radiosurgical device, much like Kleenex is a tissue. There should be no articles solely about Kleenex or Cyberknife on Wikipedia IMHO. Scarbrtj 05:34, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:WikipediaAccuray final L-2-hero-jpg.jpg

Image:WikipediaAccuray final L-2-hero-jpg.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
