Talk:List of individual body parts

Did you know nomination
In Template:Did you know/Preparation area 3, the hook has been slightly changed to:


 * ... that a human toe used for cocktails (pictured) is one of many body parts that are tourist attractions?

This combines the language of the toe hooks in a way that I hope is clear and verifiable. If there are any issues, I am fine with partially reverting back.

Beethoven's hair
From the article Beethoven in film: Released in 2005, a docudrama titled Beethoven's Hair, directed by Larry Weinstein, traces the unlikely journey of a lock of hair cut from Beethoven's corpse and unravels the mystery of his tortured life and death with scientific evidence.

 * Good find Schwede66. I've added an entry for his hair. I didn't mention the docudrama, but if you want to add it, please do so, by all means. gobonobo  + c 21:00, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
 * That's all good. I once saw the film, hence I hunted around for a photo.  Schwede 66  06:31, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Regarding Muhammad in the article
I noticed that Prophet Muhammad's listing in the table features a depiction of Him, and aren't depictions of prophets like Him usually considered as idolatory and therefore haram in Islam? I think we should do something about this. Sincerely, Icantthinkofanamexd (talk) 03:45, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * When I wrote the article, I included an image of a rose there (File:Rose Hilye.jpg), which is traditionally used to symbolize Muhammad. It was replaced, but I've restored it for now. I would prefer the rose image or none at all.  gobonobo  + c 05:47, 12 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Perhaps it would be better to have no image at all for people who have no photographs or contemporary portraits. It would give off an inaccurate impression that the [body part] was taken from [person who looks like this] when in reality we have no idea what they really looked like. ― Howard • 🌽33 07:52, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Howard's suggestion (removing all non-contemporary images) is elegant and I think it would work well for this specific case. It conpletely dodges the question of whether we should appeal to religious sensibilities (in this case, Islamic ones), which goes a long way for preserving neutrality. I am open to supporting it.

 * I replaced the image with calligraphy of his name. For the sake of respect I agree that an artistic depiction of Muhammad should not be used, as it is gravely offensive to many Muslims. Marisauna (talk) 16:08, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Title
Shouldn't this be renamed to List of notable body parts? Stephen 07:15, 12 July 2024 (UTC)


 * List of individual cats, List of individual dogs, List of individual trees, etc. all have the same titling format. It appears to be consistent with previous articles covering the same things. ― Howard • 🌽33 07:36, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Body part images
I do not believe it's necessary to include an example image of what a particular body part looks like in the "Body part" column. These are all quite generally known body parts which do not need illustrations outside of their respective articles. The illustrations also have an inconsistent style, with some being anatomical, others symbolic, still others animated. I recommend the illustrations in the "body part" be all removed. ― Howard • 🌽33 07:43, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I looked on Commons for a standard "set" of body part images to use, but couldn't find one. Personally, I'm a fan of the rotating skulls. gobonobo  + c 09:48, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * It's funny but it looks unprofessional. ― Howard • 🌽33 22:52, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Edward Drinker Cope
Can some editor with more recent experience add the skull of Edward Drinker Cope? There is a whole section in Cope's article about this. 164.107.80.208 (talk) 14:43, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
