[edit] Is this an advertisement or what?

Under History of Proton Therapy, "... announced its intent to enter a joint venture with ProCure Treatment Centers Inc. and Radiation Oncology Consultants, Ltd. to bring the future of cancer treatment to Illinois."

That sounds like a corporate PR advertisement to me, and not encyclopedic content. But more specifically, it does not mention that they are bringing proton therapy. For all we know, they could be bringing microwave tissue heating to Illinois.--Bodybagger 09:01, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Information or promotion

When the footprints of promotion could be tracked in an encyclopedic context like Wikipedia, I start doubting where the exact boundary between information and promotion is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.123.218.194 (talk) 08:49, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
