Over-quotation
editSince Michael Baum is a medical scientist of note, it stands to reason he is critical towards homeopathy, like thousands upon thousands of other scientists, and I don't think the reader needs a 270-word quote that tells us so while not really conveying any useful or interesting message beyond "homeopathy is bogus". It doesn't even belong to "strong criticisms of homeopathy", because he merely says homeopathy is useless rather than fraudulent. I'd throw it out and paraphrase it, perhaps - I'm leaving the decision to other editors. GregorB (talk) 21:39, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
