Many of these questions arise frequently on the talk page concerning the penis.
Q1:I have an issue with a picture on this article.
A1: You can post a message on this page about your concern. If you add or remove a photograph from the article, do not be surprised if someone else undoes your edit within hours. Keep in mind that Wikipedia is not censored. However from an editorial standpoint, debate about the inclusion or exclusion of certain pictures (or types of pictures) is a permanent fixture of this talk page. Q2: I have an issue with a certain type of penis not being represented in photographs on this article.
A2: See answer to previous question. Q3: I would like to upload a picture of my penis.
A3: Unfortunately, the realities of supply and demand are not in your favor. There is a large supply of Wikipedia editors willing to photograph their penis in the name of science. However, the demand is much lower. If you feel that your penis is more deserving of placement on the article page, you are free to make your case below. |

Possible improvement to introduction/opening?
editShouldn’t the function of the penis to urinate be mentioned immediately after its function as a sex organ as well? Aliy Dawut (talk) 15:49, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
Please remove creationist language

Do humans have penises?
editThe only current mention of humans in the article is a sentence that says humans do not have a baculum. It might also be worth mentioning somewhere that humans have penises (usually one per male human and an average of about one per two humans, if I understand correctly). — BarrelProof (talk) 17:45, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- Humans are placental mammals. Via the transitive property, they are already adequately covered here. Feel free to add a "See also" for Human reproductive system or similar, however. Jtrevor99 (talk) 18:45, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- I doubt that most people have terms like placental mammals (and transitive property) in their everyday vocabulary. — BarrelProof (talk) 19:06, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- Updated lead. Jtrevor99 (talk) 20:14, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Lead photo size difference
editVery odd that I was accused of "making the photo too large" when I was actually shrinking it on my copy of the page, by a significant margin. (It originally appeared at, I believe, 495px width - the preview width - for me.) I'm fine with the current size but wanted to make @Cyclopia: and others aware. It's probably a browser rendering difference when no size parameter is supplied. Jtrevor99 (talk) 16:13, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
