[edit] Koan link

Why does the attribute "Koan" ("of the island of Kos") in the introduction refer to the Buddhist term "Koan"? They are only homonyms, nothing more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.77.234.11 (talk • contribs)

This should not be so... I shall fix it. -- Rmrfstar 22:43, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WPMED assessment

I'm tagging this article as importance=Mid, class=Start. Start class mostly because there are two reference sections, in different formats, and because there is little explanation of the context, significance, etc. of this topic. Mid importance because it is an historical interest but does not concern diseases or treatments. --Una Smith 04:25, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

There are two reference sections, in different formats. But they are not independent or redundant; they are complementary: the "bibliography" section contains the complete citations for works mentioned above it. This is quite standard formating I believe. It is also the same scheme that was used in the FA Hippocrates, on which I also worked. -- Rmrfstar 16:37, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
