Avoid a Wikipedia role

I would strongly object to considering this a Wikipedia import, and making sure there is no Wikipedia text in the article. There are several Citizens quite capable of writing original content for this article.

Right now, there are discussions about licensing and competitive positioning that argue about being very restrictive on Wikipedia importing, especially when WP is importing CZ articles and then gets higher Google ratings. Howard C. Berkowitz 11:33, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

It isn't marked as a WP import, but as "some content may have appeared on WP". If you have a look at this diff, you will see that lots of paragraphs are unchanged from the original version that was imported from WP. As it stands, we must include the WP flag. It would be nice if we could remove all the WP content however. --Chris Key 11:38, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Approval

I'm afraid that as of July 17, this lacks a good deal to be Approval-ready. For example, the pathological classification has only redlinks. There is no detailed discussion of the issues of aromatase inhibitors vs. tamoxifen in pre- and post-menopausal patients.

History is not just ancient -- the impact of the low-dose CMF adjuvant regimen in the mid-seventies rates discussion, and, for that matter, less effective palliation such as Cooper 5-drug. The evolution of the radical mastectomy, and the movement away from it, is historically important. Howard C. Berkowitz 11:33, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
