Orphaned references in DNA teleportation[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of DNA teleportation's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Coghlan":

From Luc Montagnier: Andy Coghlan, "Scorn over claim of teleported DNA", New Scientist 12 January 2011, issue 2795
From Homeopathy: Coghlan A (1 February 2010). "Mass drug overdose – none dead". New Scientist. Retrieved 2012-04-20.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 06:11, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on DNA teleportation. 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/20101217005305/http://lindau-nobel.org/PublicMeetingProgram.AxCMS?Meeting=278 to http://www.lindau-nobel.org/PublicMeetingProgram.AxCMS?Meeting=278

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

How can it be described as "pseudoscience"?[edit]

If the Idea was introduced by a Nobel Prize laureate, how can it be described as "pseudoscience"? It doesn't make any sense! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.86.242.6 (talk) 16:55, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is based on reliable sources. Please look at the source provided. Jytdog (talk) 04:14, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Misrepresentation of References[edit]

Under the Heading "Responses and Criticisms" Philip Ball is quoted as writing:

"Philip Ball wrote an analysis about Montagnier's work in Chemistry World, stating "It looks like one of the most astonishing discoveries in a century, yet it was almost entirely ignored", and claims this experiment was never replicated and the work was "ignored for good reason, namely that it’s utterly implausible".

That is typical cherry picking and a total misrepresentation of Ball's article that concludes:

"Make of this what you will; the real issue here is that it all looks puzzling, even prejudiced, to outsiders, who understandably cannot fathom why a startling claim by a distinguished scientist is apparently just being brushed aside. Perhaps it might help to stop pretending that science works as the books say it does. Perhaps also, given that Montagnier says his findings are motivating clinical trials to ‘test new therapeutics’ for HIV in sub-Saharan Africa, it might be wise to subject them to more scrutiny after all." (my emphasis)

Why not quote that part of the article instead?

Original research[edit]

User:MerLynnofOZ you cannot just write what you think in Wikipedia, per the policy against original research. Your edits:

here at 04:17, 25 November 2018
here at 02:25, 27 November 2018
here at 03:45, 27 November 2018

are not OK. You are not citing sources and summarizing them, which is what we do here. If you don't understand, please ask. Jytdog (talk) 07:36, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rename[edit]

This article needs a new name. The DNA is not "teleported." The energetic pattern is recorded, transmitted, and used to reconstruct the DNA using brand new nucleotides. The existing nucleotides from the original sample are unaffected. They are not "teleported." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.46.96.201 (talk) 18:43, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

But that is what the sources call it. What is an energetic pattern? --Hob Gadling (talk) 10:55, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
