==Biased source material==
The [[AAP_Circumcision_Task_Force_2012#2012_Circumcision_Policy_Statement| 2012 Circumcision Policy Statement]] of the [[American Academy of Pediatrics]] and the accompanying "technical report" was created to promote the practice of non-therapeutic male circumcision and third-party payment to physicians who execute circumcisions. As one would expect of such a statement, it is highly slanted and biased in favor of medically unnecessary, non-therapeutic male circumcision. It has suffered unrelenting , scathing critical comment. The AAP chose not to re-affirm the Statement when it expired in 2017. The Wikipedia Circumcision article chooses to cite this highly defective biased source thirty times.
The Wikipedia Circumcision article cites material from the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) several times. There are conflicts of interest at the WHO because [[David R. Tomlinson]], the chief circumcision expert at the WHO, also manufactures and sells circumcision devices. The WHO cite methodologically and statistically flawed articles to promote male circumcision (and of course, the sale of devices).
