Your edits to Choking
With reference to your recent edits to the Choking article - you recently removed information related to back slaps to promote the use of abdominal thrusts. In the process, you removed a number of well cited and reliable references, without replacing them.

Wikipedia relies on all information being backed up by reliable third party sources - see the policy documents at WP:V and WP:CITE for more information on this, and all articles should be written from a neutral point of view - see WP:NPOV for more, especially the section on Undue Weight.

Your edits promoted abdominal thrusts to the exclusion of back slaps, despite this being against the current guidelines issued by the leading world medical authorities, including ILCOR. If you feel this is not the case, you are welcome to make edits, but you must cite reliable sources (in this case, probably published journals or updates from oversight bodies such as a national resusciation council or college of surgeons), and it should not involve the removal of existing information.

I hope that helps, and if you have any questions, please reply here or leave a note on my talk page.
