Too many sections?

I'm sure this article is excellent, but, without reading it, I wonder if we could sensibly and usefully reduce the number of headings? This tends to interrupt the flow of the article. Actually, so many headings actually makes it hard for a "flow," or a narrative, to develop in the first place. Please see Article Mechanics on this; the longer version goes into this in some detail. --Larry Sanger 22:03, 21 February 2008 (CST)

Hey, this page needs to be archived! It's getting very long! --Larry Sanger 22:03, 21 February 2008 (CST)

Okay, I archived for a fresh new outlook. --D. Matt Innis 11:58, 12 March 2008 (CDT)
I cut out some stuff. Also, does anybody mind if I cut out the section "Why do we need EBM"? I do not see that it adds much to the text in the introduction. Also, it contains no references. - Robert Badgett 22:14, 21 February 2008 (CST)

Agree it can be cut.Gareth Leng 11:46, 12 March 2008 (CDT) Can we cut out the sentences like "For more information, see: Clinical practice guideline" and instead a) link the phrase at first appearance and b) add to the related articles subpage?Gareth Leng 11:48, 12 March 2008 (CDT)
