[edit] Speedy deletion of FINNEY ROSS

A tag has been placed on FINNEY ROSS, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

[edit] Finney Ross

Hello and thank you for participating in Wikipedia. It looks like you got a pretty rough welcome! The standard mantra is Don't bite the newbies but that's theory and not always practice. But it looks like you've survived the onslaught and so has your article on Finney Ross. As an administrator, I am able to delete articles (and undelete them, even deleted articles are available to administrator accounts and deletion can be overturned) and in my evaluation, the article did not deserve deletion. But as I noted, it needed cleanup the the tone was inappropriately glorifying. User Dominik92 (talk · contribs) has already done an extensive cleanup: he has removed much of the material but this does not mean that you can't re-add it if you do so carefully and if you make sure that the article remains neutral in tone. Also, it's always good to make sure that most (if not all) of the material included is properly sourced so that it can be verified by other readers. I've also added categories to the article, which means there's a greater chance that others will access it and possibly help in its development.

[edit] Rheumatoid arthritis

I have temporarily removed your addition to rheumatoid arthritis. There are good grounds for mentioning Lyme disease, but you made the mistake of mentioning it in the wrong section and in a format that is not quite ideal.

If you want to discuss Lyme, we need a short section on the differential diagnosis of symmetrical polyarthritis, which is much longer than just RA and Lyme. I would not discuss the history of Lyme on the RA page at all - this belongs on the Lyme page. Finally, I would be careful not to overemphasise Lyme in this context. I can assure you that in non-endemic areas it is not common practice to test for Lyme disease in people with an erosive polyarthritis; exceptions would be rheumatoid factor negativity, lack of response to therapy and unambiguous history of a tick bite or erythema migrans.

Let me know if you want to discuss this further. JFW | T@lk 21:38, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
