Please review non free content criteria. In order to duplicate material directly from other sources, copied sentences not only have to be cited, but also attributed and placed in quotation marks. There needs to be attribution, for instance, under "Scientific definition." Who said that? It's not enough to single it out and cite it; it must be attributed as well. The types are directly duplicative of other sources. For instance, see here. Citation is insufficient without attribution. Also, there are considerable sections of material that are duplicative nearly word for word of older sources. This archived version of this page demonstrates that it has been in existence since 2006. In one relevant portion, it reads:
| “ | A cold gel is applied to the area to be treated, and you may be given dark glasses to protect your eyes from the bright light. The smooth glass surface of the IPL handpiece is gently applied to your skin and pulses of light are applied. You may feel a slight sting, like the snapping of a small rubber band. An anesthetic cream may be used, but is seldom required. Treatment is generally administered in a series of 4 to 6 sessions that provide excellent long-term results, minimal adverse effects and high satisfaction. Each treatment takes about twenty minutes. | ” |
The article as it stands now reads:
| “ | Cold gel is usually applied to the area to be treated, and the patient may be given dark glasses to protect the eyes from the bright light. The smooth glass surface of the IPL handpiece is gently applied to the patient's skin and the pulses of light are applied. Patients report the feeling of a light sting, like the snapping of a small rubbed band. Treatment is generally administered in a series of procedures that provides long term results. Each treatment takes about thirty to forty minutes[16]. | ” |
Changes in this passage are minimal. This constitutes serious infringement.
The subsequent section begining, "An intense light is applied" through the phrase "every three weeks" is a word for word copy of this source, which is archived back to to 2005, here. Obviously, this well predates the addition of the material to the article, here. This, also, is a serious infringement. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:41, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
At some point Laser Resurfacing was set to redirect to Photorejuvenation, which it is only 1 method of. I believe Laser Resurfacing should be its only article that refers to this article also. I would be willing to make it, but I don't want to do unilaterally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timetraveler3.14 (talk • contribs) 08:55, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
