Article concern

This article has been copied, almost verbatim, from an essay on a pro-life site: http://realchoice.0catch.com/library/weekly/aa063000a.htm. Due to the obvious neutrality and copyright concern this poses, I will be removing problem sections, which should be replaced with sourced material. -Severa (!!!) 09:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, there is no copyright concern because I am the owner of the material in question. Second of all, you don't show any concern for neutrality when National Abortion Federation promotional materials are posted verbatim. My article was referenced thoroughly and I included those references in the article. ChristinaDunigan 17:05, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Granted, at first, it appeared that the Saline abortion had been plagerized, and thus would be a violation of Wikipedia:Copyright. This warranted immediate removal. However, if you are posting your own work, you must also be mindful of WP:OR. Also, counter to your claim, Saline abortion does not provide neutral, reliable sources, as required by WP:V, WP:RS, and WP:CITE. Many of the claims do not have numbered citations and those which do are deadlinks. I am sorry to say that the burden of proof is upon you to provide sources before you post anything to Wikipedia. Otherwise, it's original research.

Saline abortion has a negative, editorialistic tone, which is inappropriate for an encyclopedia. It is clearly counter to WP:NPOV; after all, Wikipedia is not a soapbox. As for recreating the "Saline abortion" page, this seems unjustified, given the fact that saline instillation is now covered at "Instillation abortion." This is the technical term I have encountered in all the academic sources which I consulted; "saline abortion," in a Google search, returns only advocacy sites. I will, of course, be redirecting the page again, because the current fork is redundant and serves only to host your own OR/op-ed piece. -Severa (!!!) 23:34, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
