removed the link to wrongdiagnosis.com

when I just checked out the link to "wrongdiagnosis.com" (which rather immediately redirects to "rightdiagnosis.com") I was soon under the impression that one might think that these two sister URLs (and potentially some more) could belong to a particularly insidious SEO project, really fishing for visitor information and soliciting visitors' private medical history reports while not actually giving any serious information. One might further think that this fact is rather well hidden from an innocent visitor's first impression, i.e. until one finally arrives at elements of text like this (fair use citation for reference, emphasis added):

About prognosis:

The 'prognosis' of Hemoglobinemia usually refers to the likely outcome of Hemoglobinemia. The prognosis of Hemoglobinemia may include the duration of Hemoglobinemia, chances of complications of Hemoglobinemia, probable outcomes, prospects for recovery, recovery period for Hemoglobinemia, survival rates, death rates, and other outcome possibilities in the overall prognosis of Hemoglobinemia. Naturally, such forecast issues are by their nature unpredictable.

which is, of course, blatantly eminent boilerplate text climaxing in what leaves an impression of sheer leg-pulling, to say the least.

On another observation, URLs like "wrongdiagnosis.com" (and "rightdiagnosis.com") don't seem to indicate a reliable and trustworthy source in the first place, knowing the internet, but rather resemble a kind of project specifically aimed at the gullible and the desperate, designed both as a SEO project and an outright solicitation (and also sidechannel) fishing attack at visitors' personal medical information (with personal identification of visitors technically feasible with ease using Google Analytics et al.)

Conclusion: It seems reasonable to assume that wrongdiagnosis.com (and rightdiagnosis.com) should not be used in the article, if not excluded from mention in WP (save in an article on particularly insidous malpractices found in the Internet and the like). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.81.172.203 (talk) 21:35, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Hemoglobinemia

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 Hemoglobinemia'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.

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⚡ 09:54, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
