Why I've removed the Quackery banner

I think I made the wrong choice in adding it in the first place.

Hadn't realised that it was not widely used in other wikipedia articles about quack medicine, or that it was so contentious.

Further discussion can be found over at Wikipedia_talk:Fringe_theories/Noticeboard#Pseudoscience_.27warning.27_headers where I'm seeing some pretty cogent arguments against its use.

So, reverted my own edit and removed it. It wouldn't be fair to 'single out' Narconon from other types of quack medicine.

Chalk it up to newbieness.

According to the pseudoscience warning header discussion, the warning is to be stated in the lede, not in a disclaimer. I suppose it just means the lede needs to be watched closely for dilutions. Thimbleweed (talk) 19:08, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm watching it like a hawk. :) --Mknjbhvgcf (talk) 13:07, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV?

The intro to the article alone is all but neutral. This article needs a major overhaul. Suggestions how to go about it? Fairyday (talk) 05:20, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
