There are a number of issues

1. Much content is unreferenced (for example the section on barrier contraception)
2. The one ref there is missing page numbers
3. A number of unreliable sources are used including "daily news" and this site [1]

There is still a fair bit of work to do and would love to see other people jump in and help. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 03:48, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Found some close paraphrasing. This needs a rewrite. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 09:19, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Could you elaborate? Kaldari (talk) 17:26, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

This for example [2]. The table is word for word from the source in question. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 22:35, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Should remove the portion that states some women regret their tubal ligation. It seems out of place in an article with such a well-written clinical tone to throw in an irrelevant sentence about a phenomenon as common as, "some people do regret making a lifelong irreversible decision", plus giving weight to women's regrets while neglecting to elaborate on men's regrets about their vasectomies is an error unbecoming of a good article.

Yes let me look at it further. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 02:37, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

I disagree that that information is not clinically relevant. The fact that many people regret sterilization is a factor that patients would need to keep in mind when considering birth control options. I do agree that the information should be presented equally for men and women. The statistic that Doc James added could be elaborated on further, i.e. what is the age breakdown for men who regret vasectomies? OldFishHouse (talk) 21:11, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Will delist until issues fixed. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 07:30, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
