In response to your question about the ovulation article:

A Google search for the phrase "ovulation calendar" gives 350,000 hits. I am certain a large proportion of these calculators are from reputable organizations. However, Wikipedia is not a repository of links, and considering the enormous number of fertility calculators out there, including links to them would make this article such a "repository". Without criteria that would exclude the vast majority of ovulation calendars, I will not support adding any links to such sites.

The "facts about ovulation" were only facts related to fertility. They were from the American Pregnancy Association's page on "tracking ovulation" (a.k.a. fertility awareness charting). Some of them are only tangentially related to ovulation (women born with all their eggs? Addressed more appropriately in menstrual cycle.  Menstruation's relationship to ovulation?  Also addressed in menstrual cycle, as well as luteal phase.  "This body temperature increase is the cornerstone of fertility charting or fertility awareness techniques" - how is this more related to ovulation that fertility awareness?)  Others are already covered in the ovulation article. (Mittelschmerz? Already addressed in "clinical presentation"! - Basal body temps are now linked in "postovulatory phase".)

Also, the random list of facts is unencyclopedic. Integrating relevant information into sections and paragraphs makes for a higher quality article. Lyrl Talk C 02:17, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
