Should We Be Concerned?

[Lengthy violation of WP:BLP snipped]

Dr Haskell is also mentioned in this unflattering article. Dr. Haskell also fought with the state of Ohio over how taxpayer money may be spent in financing abortions. In other words, there are more than a few loose ends that will require some investigation beyond my limited resources before I think anyone should trust the information presented in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JimScott (talk • contribs)

If the point of your detective work is to suggest that he is improperly licensed, then I'd say you ought to either a) pursue that particular hobby off Wikipedia in a different venue, or b) find a reliable secondary source which backs your implication. This article and talk page do fall under WP:BLP. You may want to consider the possibility that not all info about this physician is available online, since people tend to do things like post it all on Wikipedia talk pages, and after all high-profile abortion providers often deal with a certain degree of physical intimidation. But that's neither here nor there. MastCell ^Talk 20:16, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
