[edit] Large Change

I have rewritten this page - hopefully it is less dispensible than before. Much of the content could relate to Medical Tourism in general but the tone of that page is at present different from that which I was interested in. I still need to put in references and some supporting figures when I get time.

[edit] Removed Comment

I removed a comment with link to a specific company. Additional elements in the comment would have been more suitable for the article page and are now represented there in a more neutral and location independant form. Revatim 14:33, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tone

This article is currently written like an essay or a white paper rather than an encyclopedia article. It also contains problems with WP:POV (point of view) and WP:OR (original research). Nposs 14:57, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edits

Nposs did an edit of the material to make it conform better to wikipedia standards - If you are going to make an edit maybe look back through the previous edits and have a look at the discussion on Nposs's talk page: I found it pretty informative. For the moment I am going to confine myself to small edits fleshing out sections supported by references to external sources: hopefully this will set the article off on a better track.

Just wanted to say thanks again for all of your help with the article. Nposs 13:35, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

In the "reasons for travel" section, first sentence. I removed a repetition of "driven by" (from "driven by driven by" to "driven by"). /Alex 13:26, 8 january 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Request for edits:Over European in tone

As opposed to the usual North American bias, this article, thanks to me, has too great a European emphasis. If there are any dentists, or anybody with information from other regions - Please edit. Revatim 12:49, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About removal of HealthCare Tourism International references

I removed the additions with HealthCare Tourism International mostly because they did not match the tone of the sections they were placed in. The media link was kept but moved to the Media section. In general I think specific organizations should not be promoted, even if non-profit. References may be made to a peer reviewed journal - even still self attributed titles such as "medical expert" should be avoided. Revatim (talk) 16:57, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
