Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Caesalpinia pulcherrima. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20121014095423/http://www.tropicalflowerguide.com/dwarf-poinciana-tropical-tree.html to http://tropicalflowerguide.com/dwarf-poinciana-tropical-tree.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Content on supposed Indian medicine

Latest comment: 5 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

@Zefr, please explain why you keep reverting my edits. I would like to know why you don't believe a scientific publication is an appropriate resource when what it claims is that the plant is used for a purpose. That's a fairly easy claim to support, no? Here is the reference you keep removing:

Known as "Guletura" in India, the leaves, flower, bark, and sees of C. pulcherrima are used in Indian medicine. The bark and leaves have traditionally both used as abortifacients, while other parts of the plant are considered tonics and stimulants.^[1]

To remove this information is to remove meaning from Wikipedia, which I don't believe is in keeping with the practices or ethos of this project. Emjackson42 (talk) 19:11, 26 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

The Indian Journal of Pharmacology is not a reliable source, having a very low impact factor. Information in the Sharma article is preliminary and not reliable. For medical content, Wikipedia requires high-quality reviews, as discussed in WP:MEDRS. --Zefr (talk) 19:57, 26 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
