Adding sources

User:Malapr am interested in discussing the situation in question. The adding of high quality review articles from JAMA journals is generally useful. We just need to clarify a few things first. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:17, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

and fix the user name problem. appears to be the name of a PR firm. Jytdog (talk) 14:31, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The idea of letting PR people put references on wiki skews the citation counts, and gives a huge advantage to JAMA, particularly when people outside the immediate field tend to cite from wikipedia. Articles need to be cited organically by those contributing to the articles. Limit-theorem (talk) 19:16, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
