With , ] removed ] as the lead image and replaced it with ], stating, "Med MOS guidelines encourage the use of one photo; shaved vulvas increase the risk of infection." With (followup edit ), I reverted, stating, "Restored previous lead image. This was there after various disputes about what the lead image should be. These four images show the diversity of the vulva and make it so that people are less likely to edit war over the lead image." |

:::As seen , you reverted first, before making a case here, stating, "unshaven vulvas increase the risk of sexually transmitted infection; the 'four images' are not of the entire vulva and do not represent the entire vulvar area.; the newly inserted photo is more encyclopedic since it shows more vulvar structures." The "shaven vulva" argument is not a valid argument for removing the image. The fact of the matter is that more can be seen with it comes to the shaved vulva, and that many women have a shaved vulva. Representing that in the lead is diversity. Stating "it is better to not illustrate an unshaven vulva since it is not typical anyway" is a personal opinion. Are you willing to supply sources for that argument? Prioritizing an unshaved over a shaved vulva is a personal opinion. So is the claim that "the newly inserted photo is more encyclopedic." As for it showing "more vulvar structures," how so? I also do not see WP:MEDMOS discouraging a collage as a lead image. And as for there being no "section on genetic diversity," there actually is; , which is not an accurate heading for everything in that section. Furthermore, vulva diversity is not simply about genetic diversity. Before you significantly changed the article, the section looked like and also showed vulva diversity. ] thanked me for reverting you. So I'm not the only one who disagrees with your image change. ] (]) 19:10, 24 March 2016 (UTC) |

:::: I must agree with flyer, the diversity picture not only illustrates the degree of natural variation, but the inclusion of shaven vuvlas more clearly depicts the structures present. ] (]) 19:33, 24 March 2016 (UTC) |

:::::...regarding , Psychology Today indicates that it is a minority practice. ...regarding the 'more clearly depict the structures present' in the collage, these are the structures missing but appear in the photo I inserted: clitoral glans, the vaginal orifice, the vulval vestibule, the pudendal cleft. the frenulum labiorum pudendi, and the perineum. What is the issue? A more encyclopedic image or one showing diversity. Isn't diversity in anatomical structures like saying the sky is blue? Is it not a given that there is diversity. There is another photo of diversity in the article further down. Does the article need two 'collages' of vulvar diversity? Best Regards. |

Are you able to help out with the article and find references that are missing? That would be so helpful and help make the article better.

:::::::Yes, the collages are perfectly encyclopedic. Arbitrarily labeling this one image as "more encyclopedic" seems kind silly, at best, and regardless of how common or uncommon the shaving practice is, this is not something where common sense ("blue sky") issues can be taken for granted, as has already been discussed here previously. ] (]) 20:06, 24 March 2016 (UTC) |
|
|
::::::::When you're talking about basic anatomy, then images showing "natural" body parts (that is, body parts unaffected by cultural practices such as shaving, piercing, or tattooing) are more "encyclopedic" in the sense that they are more broadly applicable to all cultures and all points in history. It is the same basic reason that most articles about animals (e.g., ]) lead with images of plain adults in a natural setting (when available, of course), and not, say, circus animals or even animals in zoos. This is "encyclopedic" in the same sense as several of its synonyms, including broad-gauged, global, inclusive, and universal. |
|
|
::::::::I actually wonder whether it would be better to move the photos down (into a section that discusses diversity), and to lead with a drawing. A good anatomical drawing is actually more educational (because it is more typical than any one human's body can be – there's a reason that medical textbooks contain so many expensively created diagrams) and more typical of encyclopedic practice (e.g., the first choice for almost every traditionally published encyclopedia). ] (]) 00:59, 26 March 2016 (UTC) |
|
|
:::::::::I would say that {U|WhatamIdoing} is proposing a reasonable compromise I would certainly go along with it. Does the article benefit from 40 individual images of a partial view of the vulva, arranged as two collages? One image that shows all of the external structures of the vulva is sufficient. None of the 40 images illustrate the other vulvar structures: clitoral glans, urinary meatus, vaginal orifice, hymen, vulval vestibule, pudental cleft, frenulum labiorum pudendi , corpus canervosum, perineum, and anus. The image I inserted was an improvement to the article. Removing the image demonstrating more of the structures of the vulva provides more information to the reader and possible clinician. Inserting the image with fewer of the structures showing makes the article less encyclopedic and is the same as removing information from the article. As for genetic diversity for the anatomical structure you would need to actually show the locations on the chromosomes or the differences in the coding of the nucleic acids to demonstrate genetic diversity. |
|
|
:::::::::I also agree that a separate section could be written describing the genetic variations would be appropriate and address the concerns that diversity be addressed as an observation and issue.Best Regards, |

::::::::::Vulvas are anatomy, but this is anatomy with a huge amount of cultural, social, and even political relevance, and also with a huge amount of ignorance at an astonishingly basic level. You're talking about specific structures, which are of course important, but just I cannot image that a technical illustration is going to be as effective at addressing the confusion between vulva and vagina, which is common even among educated adults. This is an anatomy article, but it's not ''just'' an anatomy article. While I can see that comparing woman to circus animals was not something specifically intended as disrespectful, that's still a dreadful argument to make. Humans are not wild animals, and cultural practices should not be discounted. We are all products of our different cultures and histories, and it's important to reflect that. Tigers don't read, but human beings, some with vulvas, do read this article. Accounting for different perspectives, practices, and norms is vitally important not just from an anatomical perspective, but also from a psychological and cultural one, as well. There are a lot of unnecessary photos of sexual anatomy on Misplaced Pages, but we need to make sure that if we remove any of it, we're doing it for the right reasons. That there are so many (sometimes gratuitous) photos is a reflection of the cultural significance of these otherwise very private body parts. In this case, removing the photos and replacing them with illustrations is sending a specific cultural message, and we can't pretend otherwise. No matter how scientifically pure the motives might be, this would still be indistinguishable in practice from censorship. Looking at a photo of a vulva in an encyclopedia article about vulvas is not some arcane, unusual anomaly or perversion, it's part of the article's purpose, and we should think twice about sending the message, inadvertently or not, that it's taboo. That so many other Misplaced Pages articles use photos is telling. Nobody bothers to bring this up over and over and over again with ] or ] (have they?). If we can illustrate with a photo, that should be a first choice, and in this case, we should also acknowledge that both cultural and privacy issues mean that the diversity of appearances cannot be taken for granted. ] (]) 02:47, 26 March 2016 (UTC) |

:::I don't consider an edit being something I elevate to certain levels and that statement confuses me. If three MEDRS sources include the anus as part of the vulva or vulvar region, am I not supposed to include the information? As for the page number as a hidden comment, that is a common way to reference pages in the content I write and I have never encountered a problem with this before. As for the other two medical book references, they have no page numbers-this is becoming more common as more digital medical books are updated every year. These two books were made available to me by the University of Pittsburgh. I'm sorry if you are unfamiliar with the references, I don't know how to fix that. In these books, it is not unusual to consider the anus as part of the vulva. It may not be 'familiar' to us, but that doesn't mean that it isn't verifiable. Best Regards, |

::::::My current sources for the information include three hardcover anatomy textbooks, though I am uncertain at this point whether or not I included all three of them in the references in the section being questioned. As for the request for finding text that is behind a paywall, I do so with ascribing access to the information through the University of Pittsburgh. The url that I see at the top of my browser window is not the url of the information or source that another person would see if they were to look at the source from, well, another university or institution that would allow such access. Including the ISBN allows anyone who can, get access to the same online information that I have access to. These digital textbooks often do not have page numbers. I provide as much information as I can see in the source. A lot of times you can enter the ISBN on Amazon and purchase some of these medical books, but from what I can tell, they are incredibly expensive. As for displaying the page numbers, you are welcome to help me figure out how to do this with the referencing 'system' that I use. I have been asked this same question multiple times and this is the best response that I have come up with. If a text doesn't have a page number, I can't cite the page number. In addition, you don't like the way I cite page numbers when I do have them. Best Regards, |

:::::], when I stated that "it is unusual to classify the anus as part of the vulva or as part of the vulva area," I was talking about the anatomical and medical literature. I was not talking about the matter among the general public or laypeople. And the ] policy is clear that "''Giving due weight and avoiding giving undue weight mean that articles should not give minority views or aspects as much of or as detailed a description as more widely held views or widely supported aspects. Generally, the views of tiny minorities should not be included at all, except perhaps in a 'see also' to an article about those specific views. Undue weight can be given in several ways, including but not limited to depth of detail, quantity of text, prominence of placement, and juxtaposition of statements.''" I've searched the web and my personal anatomical books for valid references referring to the anus as being a part of the vulva, and I'm finding none. That should tell you something about how much of minority viewpoint it is to call the anus a part of the vulva. You state that the aforementioned sources cite the anus as being a part of the vulva, but I think you are misreading those sources. And even if you are not misreading them, listing the anus as part of the vulva is such a minority viewpoint that it should not be included in this article; the WP:Due weight policy is very clear about that. And that is why you were reverted by ], with the following statement: "rm ref to anus which is not a genital organ as vulva is defined by." ] (]) 02:38, 31 March 2016 (UTC) |

The intro of this article could use some attention. The last sentence seems out of place. It is not a summary of material that appears elsewhere in this article and perhaps belongs in the ] article. A sentence on the wide range of normal appearance might be appropriate, since misconceptions seems to be a matter of current public health concern. see e.g. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/04/25/increase-in-teenage-genital-surgery-prompts-guidelines-for-doctors/. Pubic hair might also be discussed in the intro. This article is highly trafficked and may be the first source of information for young people, who could get the impression that lack of hair is the norm given the images presently included. --] (]) 11:43, 5 May 2016 (UTC) |

:For future reference, is what the lead looked like at the time that ArnoldReinhold (agr) made the above comment. As for the "The vulva needs only simple washing to assure good ], without the need for ]." sentence, the Vagina article notes in its Clinical significance section that "The vagina is self-cleansing and therefore usually does not need special hygiene. Doctors generally discourage the practice of ] for maintaining ].", but I don't think that aspect is lead material for that article. ] (]) 23:24, 5 May 2016 (UTC) |

:And, yes, douching is a vaginal topic. But when it comes to the vulva, washing it is important. ] (]) 23:27, 5 May 2016 (UTC) |

Having a vulva does not necessarily mean you are a woman/female. Intersex people, nonbinary people, and men, can all have vulvas. I suggest rewording the first sentence of this article because it is passively transphobic, as well as to avoid causing confusion. ] (]) 23:15, 13 December 2016 (UTC) |

:], the text from "external ] of a ]" to "external ]" since girls have vulvas too, and because I was considering your statement. Even though I understand what you are stating, we shouldn't leave "female" out of the lead since the vulva is identified as a female sex organ in anatomical and medical sources and the vast majority of other sources. It is identified as an aspect of the ], and the lead should be clear about that. For a similar concern, see ] for what I stated before on this type of matter; click on the more extensive discussion that I pointed to. ] (]) 12:08, 15 December 2016 (UTC) |
