A citation needed? Hell, get the hose; it needs to have a stream of cold water played on it. This article looks like it was written be somebody who owed the good Doc money. That's especially unfortunate because there seems to be plenty of substance beneath the tinsel, and the facility has more to it than the sales brochure seen here.

I have now finished editing the article to be a lot more NPOV and removed a lot of redundancy. The only thing lacking is a section describing his contributions to the vet field, but I cannot find a good secondary source. 139.222.202.221 (talk) 11:18, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A large section of this article has been written by ProfNFLB, who appears to be the subject of the article himself. This is not good practice as far as I am aware and may explain why the article reads like a promotion in many places and why the huge obsessive Publications section is there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.147.204.247 (talk) 19:57, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It seems this user has been reading this talk page and may be actively attempting to obfuscate his conflict of interest-laden editing activity as evidence by this Username change request reason. I've put up a banner to highlight this. 81.164.228.206 (talk) 16:16, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Need to find a specialist secondary source that describes his veterinary achievements and add a section based on that. 195.147.204.247 (talk) 20:08, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fitzpatrick does appear to have at least co-authored some academic papers according to Google Scholar: [1] JezGrove (talk) 00:52, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that "Italian" has been added in as his nationality along with Irish. Noel himself appears to have edited the article a while ago, and he never changed his own Nationality to Irish / Italian (nor did he change his name to Include "Galgani"). Is there any reason people think he is Italian and uses the name Galgani? I saw that PDF of the lease or deed...but he's never used this name in public.. Anyway, on his own TV show, he visits his Irish mother in Ireland, and his last name is Fitzpatrick, which is taken from his father. But, the article just randomly changed to claim he's Italian by a mobile user, so even though it's not that serious of a WP:BLP issue, it's just inaccurate based on any known facts. If the mobile user has written he is Italian because of the "Galgani" name, that is WP:OR and it is not sourced anywhere. So, I removed it until a clear source is available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Strangerwcandy19 (talk • contribs) 10:55, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible he was named after Saint Galgani as Ireland is a Roman Catholic area (not sure if Fitzpatrick is Catholic himself).63.234.214.254 (talk) 17:50, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My lovely Benji(lab look alike)was attacked by a pit bull dog. No skin was broken, but it was biting his back area. Since the attack on December 30th, my boy has very limited movement of his tail. He can’t raise it or wag it. Please can you advise. Many thanks. 2A02:587:A608:8700:AC78:94AF:3122:E1CA (talk) 18:05, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
