Request for edit[edit]

Positron emission technology (PET) should read "Positron emission tomography (PET)". The word "technology" is the wrong terminology and needs to be changed to "tomography". Please change "Phase V" to read "Phase IV" this was erroneously submitted as a typo there is no "Phase V".

Done per request. Pim Rijkee (talk) 07:28, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request for edit[edit]

Greetings! In the spirit of full transparency, this account is run by a Texas Oncology staff member. My goal is to provide accurate information and links to sources that may help answer questions. I will not be making any direct edits to any Wikipedia page through this or any other account and look forward to working with the editor of this page and the community. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Dear editor: We would like to recommend changes to the number of physicians which have increased (375+), as well as changes to practice locations (New Mexico should be removed, more than 150 total sites of service). Changes currently found under About TXO, History and Locations.

Hello, we can talk about fixing this. Here is how this usually goes -

First identify all sources in this article which were written by the subject of the wiki page, or which do not have the subject of the wiki page as their own subject
Delete all these sources
Now delete all sentences in the article not backed by a citation
Going forward, identify other publications which feature the subject of the wiki-article as their own subject, but are not published by the subject
add information from those into this article, and cite the sources

To go forward, write the sentences you want included, and review the article for what should be deleted. Post it here, then I will help you integrate changes. Thanks for posting. Blue Rasberry (talk) 23:17, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
