Talk:New Orleans Musicians' Clinic

Untitled

This article is written like a credo, much of it promotional, not factual. The references are mostly dead and there appears to be a conflict of interest in that it appears to have been written by someone associated with the clinic, (we). I am rewriting it so that it is purely factual, retaining all that is factual while removing all that is assertion, self justification. Please be patient as it must be done over days before the rewrite is complete. Mark^Dask 06:44, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

 Not done: Thank you for getting in touch. Firstly, I don't have appropriate referencing for the proposed changes. The second source is behind a paywall, and the first one looks like a press release. Secondly, I don't think the changes are really that significant. The article already states the clinic provides NO artists with health services. PK650 (talk) 01:56, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

 Partly done: Added information about the blood drives, as the rest did not have appropriate sourcing. See WP:IRS for more details on sourcing. PK650 (talk) 02:00, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

 Question: I think there are remaining templates with no attached requests. PK650 (talk) 02:04, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
