Opening sentence

[edit]
Brazilian traditional medicine is the traditional medicine of Brazil. It includes many native South American elements, as well as imported African ones.

This initial sentence is terrible. But it is required by Wikipedia's rules, which forbid links in the bolded title phrase. One is not allowed to write:

Brazilian traditional medicine includes many native South American elements, as well as imported African ones.

If the article is called "Battle of X", one must not write "The Battle of X was fought on February 32nd, 2050." Instead one must write "The Battle of X was a battle..." etc. Michael Hardy (talk) 12:04, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is a reference to the use of the Cashew (Caju) plant in Traditional Brazillian Medicine, but there aren't any examples in the Examples section. This article needs detail with respect to the Actual Practices involved with Traditional Brazilian Medicine.--FreedomFreedom (talk) 14:02, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

What about European immigrants?

[edit]

This article currently begins as follows:

Traditional Brazilian medicine (Portuguese: Medicina indígena) includes many native South American elements, and imported African ones.

Since immigrants to Brazil from east of the Atlantic during the past half-millennium have included many Europeans, how is it that there are not also imported European elements? Michael Hardy (talk) 03:48, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
