Talk:Labia majora

cutaneous folds
There needs to be an article for cutaneous folds. Gringo300 05:32, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

There needs to be more differentiation between Labia minor and majora in words. They each say the same thing about cutaneous folds.Sp0 (talk) 10:06, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

two surfaces
It needs to be explained what is meant by each labium majus having two surfaces. I've long heard this, but I've never been able to figure out what is meant! Gringo300 04:08, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * [[Image:Vulva_labeled_english.jpg|thumb|In this image, the labium on the viewer's left shows both surfaces, while only the outer surface of the labium on the right is visible.]]My impression from the article is that one surface is on the outside (visible in the article's infobox photo) and is where pubic hair grows, while the other surface is on the inside of the fold, next to the labia minora and clitoral hood. See image at right. 138.16.32.85 (talk) 00:50, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

labia majora, labiocrural folds, and buttocks
Do the labiocrural folds run between the labia majora and the buttocks? Gringo300 (talk) 04:08, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Tone tag
I moved the following tone-tag to here, because I think the textbook format is acceptable, the article is now organized into sections, and a more informal article is of greater need in Wikipedia than here. Mikael Häggström (talk) 19:46, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

 

Lead picture
Regarding this, the American Medical Academy is a Florida-based medical training school. Hardly an authoritative source. --Neil N  talk to me 22:04, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

They are an accredited medical institution and have far more knowledge in this field than you. Are you saying your more of an authoritative source then them  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nipplewoman (talk • contribs) 22:25, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:MEDRS for what we consider a medically reliable source. And you have not provided any link or reference to where they're making this claim. --Neil N  talk to me 22:29, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Depilation
Illustrative examples with normal hair would be more informative. Jack Waugh (talk) 00:33, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

The lead, and adding content
GregZak, I reverted you here (followup edit here) because the lead, per WP:Lead, is meant to summarize the article, not be bigger than article, and because Wikipedia is not a WP:Reliable source. You need to source your content with reliable anatomy sources. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 21:26, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Difference in picture
The male homologous organ is the Scrotum: And yet, both articles have totally opposite styles of pictures. A look at the talk page for Scrotum shows an intense debate over the nature of the lead image, with them settling on a diagram that rather frankly is confusing (as the Scrotum is primarily skin, something not shown!). That there is NO debate over the real pictures of female genetalia is suspicious!

I think it is clear that the differences between these two articles in their choice of picture and abundance/lack of complaint is due to some form of sexist public bias that should be avoided.

Unity between the two pages should be established. I personally think the Scrotum page should have a live picture as it is more informative. There is a good one listed in the last talk page. 90.242.136.228 (talk) 13:59, 28 July 2023 (UTC)


 * The page Scrotum seems to have had a photo on and off. Other than that, this is not really the page to argue "the Scrotum page should have a live picture". I am going to nominate this topic as an off topic thread. Wallby (talk) 11:55, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
