Should we be adding disclaimers like that to most of the articles? Do
we even need a disclaimer? If so, I think it should be somewhere
else, like on the front page, and not on each article we have. I can
only imagine seeing the big red disclaimer on [[Food Poisoning]],
[[Peyronie_disease]], [[Gingivitis]], [[Cancer]], and [[Chiropractic
medicine]] :-P
I thought of removing the disclaimer from each of the Hepatitis
articles but decided I should get a consensus here, first.
The disclaimer is in the right place. It would be useless on the
front page. A person who has reached the hepatitis article from a
Google search, may not even know that the front page exists. There
are always individuals in the general public whoce capacity for
stupidity is absolutely brilliant. :-D
