message: Didn't the character of Dr. Kildare originate in a series of novels by Max Brand? Why are the novels not mentioned at all in this article?
I did a quick Google and found several sites with information about the novels. Here's one:
http://www.tonystrading.co.uk/galleries/tvbooks/drkildare.htm
Max Brand's official site also lists a complete bibliography. 
http://www.maxbrandonline.com/bibliography.htm
According to Max Brand's biography, "While at M-G-M, he breathed new life into his Dr. Kildare character — Paramount Pictures had earlier made a film based on Faust’s first Kildare story — and an entire series was launched starring Law Ayres as Kildare and Lionel Barry more as Dr. Gillespie." (http://www.maxbrandonline.com/maxbrand_bio.doc)
I happened to have read a few of the Kildare books long ago, incidentally. They're quaint, but very readable. My understanding is that they were best-sellers in their time, which is why the character was later translated into so many other genres. But I believe that the character originated in the books. If so, this should be noted in the article. PMaranci (talk) 16:35, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Although the Ken Bald article quotes comics historian Maurice Horn as saying that Ken Bald modeled the character of "Dr. Gillespie" in the comic strip after Raymond Massey, this seems to be disputed by other sources (such as the "Ask an Archivist" source I quoted) and by the fact that the Bald "Dr. Gillespie" drawing does not really resemble Massey. I therefore have relied on the source saying Bald made up his own drawing of Gillespie. If anyone has other sources contradicting this, feel free to bring them to the fore.

message: This page is listed as being "of importance" to WikiProject Television.  However, since the Dr. Kildare hit 1960s TV show now has its own page at Dr. Kildare (TV series), with most of the info on the show being over there, it seems like that's really the page that the WikiProject Television should care about, so I'm moving the banner over there. 
Edited to add, the TV series page already was bannered by somebody else so I'm just leaving the television banner off this page.  This page isn't really about the TV series.  Reviewers interested primarily in the TV series should visit the separate page. TheBlinkster (talk) 22:31, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
