message: According to accounts by Palmer himself, he was apparently born "just east of Toronto". However, most other sources point to Port Perry…

The only claim for Pickering is a single website that states quite plainly that it's a work in progress.
I suggest changing the article.

replies: text: Based on this updated URL: here, the article appears correct. However, I should point out that I have found a reference to "Ira Palmer" as the postmaster of Balsam Ontario here, and this is closer to Pickering than PP. Maury Markowitz (talk) 13:20, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

text: I would think that rather than being based on Arculus' article, I would think that the information is based on the works of Herb Vear, Vear, Herbert J. The Canadian genealogy of Daniel David Palmer. Chiropractic Journal of Australia 1997 (Dec);27(4):138-46.

text: Honestly, it doesn't matter to me if it is mentioned in the lead as long as it is in the body of the article, but we cannot go around stating that a manipulation cured deafness - we have to follow WP:NPOV. DigitalC (talk) 16:55, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Daniel David Palmer's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

message: It appears the part where the ghost of a doctor taught him chiropractic and he cured blindness on his first try is left out. I can understand why, given that this website has a lot of American traffic, and in America chiropractic has a good public relations establishment. Where I live it is illegal, because all products must have proven efficacy (i.e. I cannot sell you a glass of water and say it's a cure for cancer, things must actually do what they're claimed to do and meet a rudimentary double blind examination) - so the PR spun story isn't the only story allowed, and the actual history of this colourful snake oil salesman and his prolific lies and charlatanism are well documented. As is the ghost of the doctor teaching him to cure blindness. Is there a particular reason this was left out? Besides the fact it is the core causative element that led to the entire scam of chiropractic and sounds as ridiculous as it is? Agendabender (talk) 13:25, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

message: This note was moved from the article to the talk page. His birthplace is also uncertain.
"Some time after his death, Palmer was mistakenly believed to have been born in Port Perry, about 30 km north-east of Audley. This information remains widespread today. Palmer did live in the town at some point, and appears to have received much of his schooling there. Today there is a statue of Palmer in the eponymous Palmer Park, which simply states he was "raised" there. Some of the confusion surrounding Palmer's early life can be seen in examples like Joseph Keating's "D.D. Palmer's Lifeline", which includes statements that "DD's father, Thomas Palmer, is born in Port Perry" in 1824 - but this was before the town existed. The same author would later correct the record in "The Palmers and the Port Perry Myths"."
Also, this has been a topic of previous edit wars and a topic of an archived topic.
