Suggestion
[edit]Hi, I have followed your discussions at Acupuncture, thought I would give you my 2 cents....feel free to delete if you do not like my advice. Please also see my comment here at the acupuncture talk page. Wikipedia policy dictates that the lead should summarize the body of the article. Most of your edits seem to be only to the lead. If you are so inclined to improve the acupuncture article, I would suggest updating the body of the article first with any research that is discussed in relevant secondary sources. The body of the article here currently only mentions that there is no physical correlates with acupuncture points! Thus, the lead is currently a good summary of this. I have listed a bunch of secondary sources on the talk page that discuss this topic and discuss some preliminary research that suggests differences along meridians, etc. If there is anything worth being incorporated into the body of the article, then it should be done first and the lead can be modified afterwards to reflect this. If you approach the lead first, it is hard to get consensus and is not consistent with policy. Best regards Puhlaa (talk) 20:08, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
