central pain

[edit]

I am shocked to read under the entry central pain, wiki wrote this reads like an ad. I am one of millions of cp sufferers and it has ruined my life. don't you do any basic research at all?? contact dr. wise young, head of research at Rutgers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.46.234.95 (talk) 10:03, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a user-written encyclopedia. There is no "you" that wrote the article, it's a collaborative effort. Some articles are better than others and if you don't like the one on Central pain syndrome the best thing to do would be to improve it yourself. No-one here is going to contact a third party and get them to improve the article. --Viennese Waltz 10:08, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The treatment section lists many possible treatments, so it doesn't look like an ad, to me, which presumably would push one form of treatment only. StuRat (talk) 10:19, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I just removed the list of external links in the See Also section. Four of them were for the "Central Pain Foundation", including one Facebook link. If you have specific concerns on the page mention them on the central pain talk page. Katie R (talk) 13:21, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The Treatment section is rather badly written, but it seems to me to err more on the side of medical and "how-to" advice than advertising. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 13:33, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He has sent a picture out of himself and Joyce, who is Joyce? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.189.11.175 (talk) 16:41, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just a guess - but American mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato? You can do a Google images search on her name to see photos of her - perhaps you'll be able to make a more positive ID from that? Can you post a link to the photo you're talking about? SteveBaker (talk) 17:26, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
