A fact from Stab wound appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the
Did you know column on 10 October 2011 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
|
" stab wounds occur four times more often than gunshot wounds" - the refs provided for this are all American, so are we to assume that this statistic refers only to America? If so, there should be a proviso in the text saying so, otherwise the reader would assume that this is a globally-applicable statistic. Sadly, as US editors often have to be reminded, the US is not the world. 81.129.133.180 ( talk) 08:42, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
The article asserts that stab wounds occur more often than gunshot wounds, but there is nothing that asserts that the mortality rate for the latter is higher. How did this get approved for Did You Know? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.253.147.165 ( talk) 09:23, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
This article is rather a wreck. First, we don't give medical advice on Wikipedia, so some of it needs to be deleted or rewritten. Second, please see WP:MEDRS and WP:MEDMOS-- we don't use one Israeli primary source to make a generalized statement about religion and stab wounds. Third, the authors seem confused about the whole mortality rate issue-- the numbers included in the DYK hook aren't even discussed anywhere in the article. There's much more wrong here, but that's all I have time for ... perhaps someone from WT:MED will engage, but we should not be running this kind of (mis)information on the main page of Wikipedia.

With regards to this revert, I feel that the fact that stabbings occur typically amongst youths is a pertinent fact to the article and there is plenty of of evidence to back it up. Does anyone have any objections to re-adding it back into the article? Peter.C • talk • contribs 22:34, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
Peter.C • talk • contribs....#1 Penetrating_trauma I think this article could be used to outline in terms of Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Medicine-related_articles...#2 in regards to references you might want to go a similar route as the aforementioned article....with [1] [2] as possible further referencing, i'll take a look at the article even further (probably over the weekend) going GA is a great experience, -- Ozzie10aaaa ( talk) 15:08, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
I can't tell what any of these numbers mean because the columns are not labeled anywhere.
