This article seems credible w/o disguised Rosencomet link
[removed blacklisted link] Disguised Rosencomet link. So I removed it to make her article more professional without such links lowering its credibility. Timmy12 22:22, 27 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I disagree, and have returned it. Please see admin Samir's talk page, where he states that the links to rosencomet.com are valid citations. Ekajati (yakity-yak) 22:39, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm an admin too, and yet funnily enough my opinion is worth no more than yours, Timmy's or anybody else's. The key point here AFAIC is that this an article on Ina May Gaskin not an article on every event she ever attended (she's a popular speaker, right?). A secondary point is that the link in this article was not of citation quality - it was a link to a search page. I've removed it. --kingboyk 11:26, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

good neonatal outcomes?
'' The Farm Midwifery Center has been able to maintain extremely low rates of medical intervention with consistently good birth outcomes for nearly four decades[3] '

The citation doesn't back up this claim here. It should be removed and replaced with a new cite. --115.69.32.39 (talk) 11:01, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

How come there's no mention of the fact that this woman is a criminal that runs a cult? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.238.171.91 (talk) 14:39, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Because this is Wikipedia and not the National Inquirer. Was she convicted of anything? Stephen Gaskin was, he says, because he took the rap for other Farm members, but that's not about her. "Cult" is POV and needs to be defined and sourced.
 * There should, however, perhaps be a Criticism section. I see a review of Spiritual Midwifery that accuses IMG of meddling in childbirths that would have been better left to run their course. http://bauhauswife.ca/spiritual-midwifery-a-critique-by-sarah-hendricks/ --Hugh7 (talk) 08:39, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
