Image help, please
There's a lot I know about editing Wikipedia, but I'm pants at images. Can someone please help me with the images I just added at Walls of Benin. I know there are several sizes available for the 17th century image. I don't really care what's done so long as it looks ok. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doug Weller (talk • contribs) 15:04, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I've move them into a 'gallery' format. You can tweak the sizes etc. (Or undo it altogether if you don't like it!) Cheers. Eagleash (talk) 15:28, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

The page on Acupuncture is horribly misleading and biased, as it bases it's outlandish claims on completely inconclusive research.
Hey, I was wondering why the page on Acupuncture has such a terribly biased view, as a good number of the attached sources have nothing to do with some of the outlandish claims they made as early as the first three sentences of the article.

"Acupuncture[note 1] is a form of alternative medicine[2] in which thin needles are inserted into the body.[3] It is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). TCM theory and practice are not based upon scientific knowledge,[4] and acupuncture is a pseudoscience.[5][6] "

The World Health Organization clearly lists 28 disorders for which acupuncture has been proven to be an effective treatment and over 68 others for which a therapeutic effect is recorded but further proof would be needed. To outright claim that it is a pseudoscience misleads the American public entirely. It reads like propaganda and needs to be re-written by someone more competent (not necessarily saying me, but it can't be left like this.)
