[edit] pov?

• Adulatory discriptors. No more than a commercial advertisement to "buy the product."

• From the article:

"Maharishi Vedic Medicine is on the forefront of "alternative" medicines"

Isn't "forefront" quite point-of-view? Doesn't sound neutral to me. Any comments? Peter S. 23:22, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

• From the article:

"Maharishi Vedic Medicine is on the forefront of "alternative" medicines"

It's a factual statement with several historical precedents. MMY was the first to introduce many things that were soon picked up on by the general so-called New Age movement.

Per discussion on the Transcendental Meditation Talk page, I've moved ayurveda material here. Tanaats 18:40, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Revert of claimed copyvio removal

I've reverted the recent removal of the link to the Skolnick article since I see no reason to believe it constitutes a copyright violation. I apologize for the unfortunate edit comment; I had expected that the feature would allow me to set the comment. --Philosophus ^T 14:50, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

JAMA owns the copyright. Skolnick had put the article on his web site, and JAMA asked him to remove it. He did remove it, but then someone found it in the Wayback Machine and linked to that. See Wikipedia:Copyrights#Linking_to_copyrighted_works. TimidGuy 14:59, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

I would expect that you would know my question here is not regarding policy, and linking to it doesn't help. I simply would like something supporting the specific claim, beyond someone's word. --Philosophus ^T 08:27, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

If you look at any article on the JAMA website you'll see a copyright notice at the bottom. If you look at this particular issue of JAMA, you'll see a copyright notice. Here's Skolnick's explanation of why it no longer appears on his website: "The text of my October 2, 1991 JAMA article was available on my web site for several years. Unfortunately, the AMA permissions officer asked me to take it down (I may be the author, but I don't own the copyright)." [1] This is not unusual. In the U.S., when an author is employed by an organization, the organization typically retains the rights to everything written by that author. Hope that answers your question. Sorry I didn't explain more fully the first time. TimidGuy 11:39, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Working with two columnes

At the end of a 2-column-text (f.e. "References") the stop code </div> is needed. (Done.)
