To users 99.7.225.212, Medscool, et al. (sockpuppets?):

More than once, I have attempted to better make this page neutral by taking out statements that are misleading, not backed by any references or out of the scope of the references cited. If you look at the revision history, several users have undone my work toward neutrality and honesty. For some reason, you and others on the site have taken sources and skewed the interpretation to mean that UTSW is the "leading" research institution of the UT System. This is completely and totally false. No source cited ever mentioned that. Nor do they say if the other schools were included in the "ranking". Not only that, but you use UTSW's own webaddress and "news" release to cite a assertion of ranking. The most reliable sources are those from third parties and not affiliated with institution whose name and reputation you're currently inflating.

The other questionable statement include Gilmans retirement. Read the statement directly from UTSW's biography page on him... and I quote: "Gilman retired from UT Southwestern in 2009 to assume the position of Chief Scientific Officer of the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT)."[1] Yet you continue to change the page so as to portray the exact opposite... that he"remins" at the institution. This is clearly wrong according to UTSW's own webpage.

Lastly, no sources are cited that compare matriculation statistics to other medical schools and so your assertion that "caliber of student", or "caliber of faculty" is misleading and false. Furthermore, ranking by research expenditures still would not make UTSW the "leading" institution.

The article, as of now, is riddled with erros and bias, and therefore makes it an unreliable and poor source for information: something that is against Wikipedia's mission and policies.

Thus, this talk page was created in an attempt to resolve this dispute. Ebmdoc4u (talk) 01:25, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
