The duplicated material is copied from Wikipedia, so I will delete the bot's notice from the article. Graham Colm (talk) 22:27, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It appears the revcopyvio was copied from the History section of Cancer, in the 2006-2007 timeframe. Compare here LeadSongDog come howl! 23:42, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on History of cancer. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.cancerdecisions.com/speeches/galen1989.html

2nd–16th Century?

The page goes from the 2nd century to the 16th century with no talk about the period in-between. I know this time is often considered a "dark age," but there were advancements being made, both in Europe and abroad.

If anyone would like to fill in the gap, I've already found a couple promising sources:

"A brief history of cancer: Age-old milestones underlying our current knowledge database" by Guy B. Faguet
Some of Steven I. Hajdu's works touch on the history of cancer, such as "Medieval pathfinders in surgical oncology."

I would fill it in myself, but I'm fairly new to actually changing wikipedia articles and don't want to mess it up, and I have school projects I actually need to buckle down and do and I know if I start working on this instead I will never get anything done.

If there's still a gap by Summer, I can try out updating it myself. But I figured, if anyone else would like to take a crack at it, I can throw some references their way. Wolfcat-hybrid (talk) 20:46, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
