Lung cancer
Hi BritAllen and welcome to Wikipedia! Your work here is valued - unfortunately, I have reverted all of your recent edits to the Lung cancer article. This is not because any of the statements you placed there were wrong - I'd bet they are probably all verifiably true.

The problem is that we prefer to see article wording backed by reliable and verifiable sources. If your wording is not sourced and it makes claims that could be called into doubt as to their veracity, it falls more under the rubric of original research, which is not allowed here.

Basically, you should have references for the text you put into articles. If I can help you with this, please let me know on my talk page. Regards! Franamax (talk) 09:40, 13 November 2008 (UTC)


 * When you do add sources, please take good care to make sure they are formatted like footnotes and use the right citation templates. At the moment, the sources you added are not formatted properly, which is a problem given that lung cancer is a featured article and other contributors have worked hard to ensure everything is in working order.
