Hello, I'm McGeddon. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Bruce Lipton, because it seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Seriously, amateur blogs are against basic WP:LINKSTOAVOID policy. If you want to add some scepticism to the article, maybe see what actual press coverage of Lipton you can dig up, and write about it in the article? I was having a look earlier but couldn't find anything much. --McGeddon (talk) 13:19, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Not quite sure what you're asking there. If there have been any serious reviews of Lipton's work in reliable sources like newspapers or academic texts, then by all means quote them in the article. If you're talking about blogs or otherwise self-published reviews, then there's a little leeway in WP:PARITY - Wikipedia can use less authoritative sources in order to balance an otherwise one-sided piece of pseudoscience, if mainstream sources have ignored the subject. The anonymous "Orac" blog seems at the very low end of that, but if any recognised skeptic websites have written about Lipton's theories, I think we could probably quote them. --McGeddon (talk) 19:41, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Oh, I see. No, Wikipedia allows a link to the official site of the article's subject, per WP:ELYES - we wouldn't shyly avoid linking to Coca-Cola's homepage on the Coca-Cola article. Linking to a film that merely "features" him seems a bit off, though, so I'll cut that one. --McGeddon (talk) 20:19, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
