[edit] good sources/Rfc
[this] and [this] Notice that the editor who did all this is by far the top contributor to the article, with 350 edits. A great deal of what we have here is original research. There is a large group of articles at Iranica [1] its more neutral than what we have here. Also a good source is Goodman, Lenn Evan (1992). Avicenna. Routledge. ISBN 9780415019293. http://books.google.com/books?id=VJ6x-pcqMicC. Retrieved 9 July 2010.
[edit] Followed the approach of Galen and Hippocrates
The original wording, which I've reverted to: was "He was one of the Islamic world's leading writers in the field of medicine and followed the approach of Hippocrates and Galen." Jagged changed this to: "He was one of the Islamic world's leading writers in the field of medicine. He was influenced by the approach of Hippocrates and Galen, as well as Sushruta and Charaka." The diff is here: [2]
It's fairly typical of the puffery and outright dubious edits which Jagged made; I can't find any evidence at all of a direct link to Sushruta and Charaka, for example. I could be persuaded that "influenced by" is a better phrasing than "Followed the approach of", but please justify the phrasing here rather than just reverting my Jagged cleanup edits. --Merlinme (talk) 12:53, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Protect the article
There have been dozens of IP's changing the background information of Avicenna. I suggest we protect the article from vandalism. Unfortunatly do I not know how to do it, so I hope anyone else could do it. (That is of course if the majority of contributers in this article accept to protect it.) --Arsaces (talk) 07:41, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
- The procedure is to make a request at WP:RFPP (a bit scary the first time: copy a previous request and edit it). However, while it's irritating, I don't think this article gets enough vandalism for semiprotection. Sometimes, if you go to the trouble of establishing that new editors and unregistered users (IPs) have not added anything constructive in the last few months, an article will be semiprotected for a couple of months, but I have a feeling we are not at that stage here.

- This article have a good number of watchers. So it's well maintained. The better way is to solve content disputes in the talk page. Or if you think there is vandalism or disruptive edit, warn users in their talk pages and talk with them. Finally you can report them to admins. I agree with Johnuniq.

[edit] sacrifice integrity
For a good laugh, check out this Turkish UNESCO site that claims Ibn Sina was a Turk:
http://www.unesco.org/new/fileadmin/MULTIMEDIA/HQ/CI/CI/pdf/mow/nomination_forms/turkey_works_ibn_sina_suleymaniye_manuscript_library.pdf
'Though there is no dispute about where Ibn Sina was born or died, his origin is open to discussion. Yet according to his own words in his famous “Al-Qanun Fi’l Tıbb” (Vol:2) it will not be a far-fetched assumption to accept him as a Turk.
Ibn Sina, the eminent scientist, philosopher, pharmacologist, theorist, poet and successful politician of Turkish origin is mostly known as a clinician under his Latin name “Avicenna”.'
