Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Vaporizer do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

References

Remember that when adding medical content please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a build in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:04, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the energy Doc James. So does that mean that if there are no journal articles in-hand to be referenced you cannot add useful and known-in-the-art information such as a whole different type of immunotherapy not presently listed as a "type" in this case? I would like to contribute where I can to make the information more complete and encyclopedic, but if the contribution will only be accepted with journal references or third party organization based statements than I won't waste my time trying to add content without in the future. I know there are studies relating indirectly to topical or epicutaneous immunotherapy I just don't have the bandwidth to compile myself atm, but there are multiple phase 1b, IIb, and III studies ongoing with one of the life sciences companies developing epicutaneous immunotherapy products --- I referenced the link to the company site and a video showing how it worked just not the studies specifically that are also referenced there I guess. Maybe that's all I needed to do? There is also a company that has been selling allergen impregnated blankets in Europe for well over a decade for the purpose of wrapping babies at birth or topical immunotherapy beyond birth (astmate.com) --- it's not called a "medical" therapy though. Sorry I'm not familiar with the referencing mark-up or preferred structure I'll get it figured out --- it would be nice if someone who is versed and who is moderating would wordsmith/re-structure added content to bring it to compliance/preferred structure instead of simply removing encyclopedic content because it isn't structured or referenced perfectly. As you know, in medicine there are always new therapies and trials being investigated and their existence alone prior to peer reviewed journal published studies or third party articles is encyclopedic as long as properly qualified and structured though right? There are also often "natural" health products that will never have the same level of specific study, in turn, reference potential as a regulatory agency approved therapy, but that alone doesn't mean they don't work or more germane, don't represent encyclopedic content by their existence alone.

Is what I need for a proper reference to have epicutaneous immunotherapy added as a "type" of immunotherapy here: http://media.dbv-technologies.com/b289/ressources/_pdf/2/2653-Dupont-C-et-al-EPIT-for-food-allerg.pdf or is that insufficient because it comes through the company's site? Thanks in advance for the help. --GammaFlow (talk) 00:42, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
