MRI Safety

Added a failed verification tag to the source in the MRI section. I plan to edit the section with a better source, but accidentally saved my summary without providing it (sorry about that, never done this before).

Source is below, will be looking for some more before writing. If someone wants to either write the section or revise what I submit, please do. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhsa.2020.01.008 Lesbiats (talk) 00:21, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

There may be additional sources on the "it is safe" side of arguments here: https://forum.dangerousthings.com/t/x-series-implantable-transponder-faq/28#faq-mri
notably https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23763334/ and potentially also https://web.archive.org/web/20180309230013/http://www.mrisafety.com/SafetyInfov.asp?SafetyInfoID=262 Aveaoz (talk) 23:22, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Deleted sentence

I deleted this sentence from the Christianity View section: The same year NPR reported that patients who signed up to receive treatment under the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) would be implanted.[1]

The article doesn't at all say that the ACA requires chipping. It states this as a myth and then goes on to describe how the myth originated and ends saying it's not true. There's also nothing in the article that particularly associates belief in the myth with Christians or Christianity. MarkG1959 (talk) 18:09, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Requested move 19 December 2025

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: no consensus. Lack of support and overall discussion, we already tried two relists and notifications - it may be an issue of timing, a second attempt might be a good idea when more editors are active.

– Per WP:NATURAL, and because the DAB is currently improper anyway. I also have no qualms about it being called "Human microchip implantation", but that is probably unnecessary. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:05, 19 December 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. Thanks, Glasspalace (talk • contribs) 09:44, 26 December 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. ROY is WAR Talk! 05:02, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Comment: Should we add Microchip implant (animal) to the nomination? Thanks, 1isall (he/him) (talk | contribs) 20:42, 19 December 2025 (UTC)
Yes, I didn't notice that, but I also think that by the same token it should be called Animal microchip implant. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:27, 22 December 2025 (UTC)
There is a bit of potential confusion over whether there is something human about the microchip. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:03, 22 December 2025 (UTC)
Relisting comment: More discussion is needed; currently there does not seem to be consensus. Thanks, Glasspalace (talk • contribs) 09:44, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
  • I feel microchipping for animals is the primary topic here, human microchipping is an obscure thing I've never heard of before whilst microchipping animals is common practice or mandatory in parts of the world. Traumnovelle (talk) 20:06, 27 December 2025 (UTC)

Those suggested titles sound a bit awkward to my ear. I also agree with Traumnovelle that microchip use in animals seems like the primary topic. Therefore my preference is:

@Zxcvbnm: can you explain what's improper about the disambig (Microchip implant)? It looks OK to me. I'm not yet seeing the proposal as a significant improvement over the current organization. Has anyone considered trying to merge the two articles? ~Kvng (talk) 16:35, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
